Can't get armory online

[HCP]

Just leave it for a couple of hours... it should eventually finish doing all the scanning and tell you that "Blockchain loading is complete".


When it does so, check that you have the "Connected" message in green in the bottom right corner... the number of blocks should be greater than the current block height of 531,939.

Dashboard says armorey is online. Bottom right corner says offline in red and 366869 blocks. Armory is online and orgazing block chain graphics are an orange bevelled square moving left and right. Scan tx history just has very small orange piece on it's left.

Last few entries is dblog...

Verifying tx filters
Done checking tx filters
Enabling zero conf tracking
RPC connection established

Nothing added to armory log since previous post about it. It didn't change over night. I tthink I  only have 2g of ram and 7gbs of HD space left BTW.

Edit:  tried to add my old wallet and it seemed to freeze. Rebooted and restarted armory. Its building databases seems to be advancing.

Edit2:I think I have 8 GB of ram

Hmmm left it for a day and a half after restarting since it seem to freeze on "parsing transaction hashes or something"  It seemed to get further but I think its stuck again.  I don't want to disturb it so i screenshotted with my phone the end of the log as the rest seems normal (other log was the same as before with nothing else different but new timestamps:

My balance and transaction history finally showed up, the "parsing tx hashes never went away.  Interesting think the blocks in the bottom right was still at 3xx,xxx.

Anyways I just wanted to see the balance so I guess I got it going? 

Cheers thx for the help happy I could make it work!

Your chain data is borked. Have you tried deleting Armory's database folder yet?

no i haven't. I will do it.  I think though I can sort of believe my balance though right?  I only had transactions from a few years ago and they seem to be showing up.

The only way to know for sure is to check your balances against the current longest chain.

Tried again and my hard drive filled up before I got the whole BC Dl'd.  I transferred to an external drive and when I open bitcoin core it read the BC data just fine and fully sync's.  

I am on ububntu and I reinstalled the .96.4 gcc 4.7 version https://btcarmory.com/0.96.4-release/

When I open armory the logs says it can find the data from the dir on the local disk.  I couldn't get any links I found to work...how do I point it to my external drive.

thx!

Depending on the operating system, you first need to mount the disk.
Afterwards, start armory via the commandline with the --satoshi-datadir parameter:

Code:

armory --satoshi-datadir="/your/path"

If you don't want to open armory via the command line each time, you also can edit the armoryqt.conf by adding:

Code:

satoshi-datadir="/your/path"
