devcoin "11DbException" on fresh VPS install

[01BTC10]

So I compiled devcoin from git but it dont start. I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and compiled BTC, NMC, LTC, I0C, IXC but the devcoin is the only one not working.

debug:

Code:

Bitcoin version 0.3.25.1-beta
Default data directory /root/.devcoin
Bound to port 6334
Loading addresses...
dbenv.open strLogDir=/root/.devcoin/database strErrorFile=/root/.devcoin/db.log


************************
EXCEPTION: 11DbException       
DbEnv::open: Invalid argument       
devcoin in AppInit()       

I've tried removing db.log without success.

I've read both thread about 11DbException but it's not the same situation as me.

Thank's!

This was on Windows, but it looks like the same error:

sgtstein:
I've run into the same problem. Backup your wallet.dat if you haven't already. Try removing the "old" wallet and try again. If that doesn't work it means it is the database. If it is the database, you would need to remove the database folder and blk*.dat files and redownload the chain.

I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Trying to narrow it down myself.

Yeah thank's but it never started so I don't have any wallet or blockchain yet. But I created a devcoin.conf file.

This is what I get from the console:

Code:

root@crypto-tech:~# ./devcoind
devcoin server starting
root@crypto-tech:~#

Did you compile it against the right libraries?

I don't know. I installed every dependency mentioned the build-unix file. It compiled without error.

Maybe after some sleep I will find.

Did you upgrade from a previous copy?

Old blockchain, etc

Those errors usually show when you copy data files from an old install. You can safely remove *db* files

Also dont run things as root.

You are right about root but I forgot to logout after compiling Devcoin on a fresh VPS. So no blockchain at all...

Because it says "invalid argument" I suspect its compatibility issue, maybe check if you have installed the exact versions of the packages specified.

Some times new packages are not always backward compatible with the old ones.
