RPC Connection

[DaCryptoRaccoon]

I seem to be having some trouble connecting Bitcoin core v0.17.0 with RPC
In the wallet configuration I have set the bitcoin.conf with the following.

Code:

server=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=IP-OF-LOCAL-MACHINE
rpcport=8332
rpcuser=UserHere
rpcpassword=PasswordHere
rpcclienttimeout=30
rpcthreads=2
rpcworkqueue=1000

On checking I can see bitcoin listening on local host with

Code:

netstat --ip -lpa|grep bitcoin
tcp        0      0 localhost:8332          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN  

In my connecting configuration I have set the connection to.

Code:

  "btc": {
    "paytxfee": .00001,
    "config": {
      "port": 8332,
      "user": "UserHere",
      "password": "PasswordHere"
    }
  },

The connecting module is running from bitcoin npm so it should pass to localhost as default.
But when I call the command for balance or deposit address to be called it fail's to return the address or the balance.

The commands are being read but the wallet fail's to respond and return the requested info.

Code:

                                           
bot> treating !deposit from --User-- as command                                                                         
bot> treating !deposit from --User-- as command 

Response:

BOT
Error getting your Bitcoin (BTC) deposit address.

Everything seems to be setup and running but for some reason the RPC won't pass the requested info back to the bot.

Thanks.

What is the actual response from bitcoind? Usually the error messages are informative.

It seems to have connected once but still failed to get address
from debug.log it shows

Code:

2019-05-21T15:42:23Z Binding RPC on address 0.0.0.0 port 8332 failed.
2019-05-21T15:42:23Z HTTP: creating work queue of depth 1000
2019-05-21T15:42:23Z Config options rpcuser and rpcpassword will soon be deprecated. Locally-run instances may remove rpcuser to use cookie-based auth, or may be replaced with rpcauth. Please see share/rpcauth for rpcauth auth generation.

I ran with -deprecatedrpc=accounts to test but same result

Are you sure your RPC connector works? There are multiple bitcoin RPC libraries for connecting, you could always try another just to make sure it's not the client having an issue.
