How do I -reindex -reindex-chainstate on Armory - Ubuntu

[ZenDawgg]

Hi,

I'm running Armory 0.95 on a minimal Ubuntu 16.04 install.

I'm letting Armory manage Bitcoind and have moved my block chain to different (larger) data drive.  It took awhile but I finally got everything up and running although it was not smooth sailing to do so (not a linux or Armory expert).  Anyway...

Everything was working for the past 4 weeks.  I'd start the PC every night and let it sync.

Last night however... the power went out for a few seconds and I don't have that PC on a battery back up.  Of course it happened in the middle of my sync.

Now Armory just sits and spins on Initializing Bitcoin Engine.

I checked the debug.log and it says to

Please restart with -reindex or -reindex-chainstate to recover.

How do I do that?

Thanks.

In the terminal, run

Code:

bitcoin-qt -reindex

This will start Bitcoin Core with reindexing. It will open up the GUI version of Core so you can follow the progress. When it is done, stop Bitcoin Core (File > Quit) and then start Armory as you would normally.

Thanks! 

I'll give it a try when I get home tonight.

Would I also need to run

Code:

bitcoin-qt -reindex-chainstate

Code:

bitcoin-qt -reindex-chainstate

-reindex includes -reindex-chainstate as part of what it does. You won't need to include -reindex-chainstate

It took about 18 hours or so to reindex 

After that it would still not sync up.

Checking the debug log there were some permission denied errors in the blocks and chainstate directories.

I ended up chown and chmod them to the user that logs in.  Doubt that is the preferred way as far as security, but it opens and syncs up now.

Thanks!
