Pushpool - Tech Support

[zakoliverz]

My installation work great!

[raubaut]

After everything, I get to the last steps and:

Code:

./configure: line 5901: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 5901: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,'

you need libcurl.m4 placed in a pkg-config folder somewhere.

Thank you for setting me on the right path. In case anyone else is having this problem, this is how I solved it:

I found hangover's helpful post which mentioned the following steps:

cp /usr/local/share/doc/curl/libcurl/libcurl.m4 m4

Then add string "ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4" to file Makefile.am and edit file autogen.sh - replace string "aclocal" with "aclocal -I m4".

Before I could do this, I had to do the following:

Code:

apt-get install libcurl3-dev curl-dev
apt-get install locate
updatedb
locate libcurl.m4

This showed me where libcurl.m4 was. Then I could copy it to the m4 directory, and the rest is history.

After 4 hours of running pushpool server, the server freezes and reports a lot of:

...
[warn] accept_socket: bad accept: Too many open files
[warn] accept_socket: bad accept: Too many open files
[warn] accept_socket: bad accept: Too many open files
[warn] accept_socket: bad accept: Too many open files
[warn] accept_socket: bad accept: Too many open files

Any idea of what is causing this? And how can I prevent it?

[jgarzik]

Increase the open file limit for the process, and/or don't have so many connections.

[montdidier]

Is there any documentation stating the meaning of the command line arguments flags for pushpool?

[thisway]

You could try sbin/pushpoold --help

[Minertor]

now 30000 shares, still no upstream_result with "N" or "Y"

problems?

upstream_result is when the pool detects a share at or higher than the network target, ONLY THEN does it allow it to get to bitcoind. That's why, basically.

I'm having same problem, I have bit difficulty set to 17 and have around 30,000 shares in database and non have been changed Y or N is this normal?

[thisway]

How did you change the difficulty? I'm stuck. I tried "rpc.target.bits" : 18 but without success

[Minertor]

How did you change the difficulty? I'm stuck. I tried "rpc.target.bits" : 18 but without success

"rpc.target.bits" : 17,

Is how it is set in mine.

So far have mined about 35k shares and non have ever put anything into UPSTREAM

This is what i'm geting when running in debug. is "error" null, normally every time or am I missing something?

[calonew]

to change the pool difficulty, is enough to modify the config.json file?
Is enough to add this code?

Code:

 "rpc.target.bits" : 17 

can you post a config.json file that works for you?

if you set bit difficulty to 17... what difficulty shares are served to miners by pushpool?

[montdidier]

You could try sbin/pushpoold --help

Ok silly me. Of course. Found them.

[fcmatt]

What pushpool release is considered the best for litecoin mining? Artforz's github version?
Or should i be playing around with a diff version?

[gateway]

Pushpool newbie and thanks for creating this hope you add to it..

I was unsable to see where the mysql data base tables are for setting up the db.. the only thing I have is the pool worker which has user and pass.. in the github section I didnt see any .sql files or missed anything about table creation..

next issue.. I have bitcoind running, and have pushpull running as far as I can tell, Im connecting cgminer to my pool via

cgminer -o 172.18.251.190:8337 -u abc -p 123  (this is whats in the push pull db)

In the pushpull log im seeing:

        # allow clients to update the ntime field of their work

btc config is

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
rpcallowip=*
rpcuser=mybitcoinduser
rpcpassword=mybitcoindpass

any thoughts? :?

Can you post the whole log from pushpool? do you see the intialized message?

looks like your pushpool cant connect to bitcoind, are you running bitcoind (already synchronized) before pushpool?

[gateway]

looks like your pushpool cant connect to bitcoind, are you running bitcoind (already synchronized) before pushpool?

its resolved... my rpc password for bitcoin.conf and server.json some reason had some weird random chrs in it that would cause auth to not happen.. ..

Code:

"stmt.sharelog" :
                  "INSERT INTO shares (rem_host, username, our_result, upstream_result, reason, solution) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"

I see this a lot, and with simplecoin I see this shares db, but for some reason im not getting any inserts, is this query wrong, how can this be debugged.. ?

[KALRONG]

Same problem as with the insert in networkBlocks, add a COMMIT call to the SQL server after the insert, it should work then.

Hello miners...
Having an issue with pushpool and FeatherCoin...

Running Debian all packages and requirements installed.
Pushpool checks worker login from Mysql DB correctly but does not write share to the Database or to the shares.log file in /tmp/

I do not get any errors when starting pushpoold with -E -F --debug=2

Already reinstalled the server same issue :@

When I setup a LTC pool with pushpool no issues ...
