Bitcoind unable to check getbalance (Error: There is no RPC client functionality

[soumikr]

Matter :

I have installed bitcoind wallet successfully but there is problem when i am trying to check my bitcoin wallet balance.

I have used these commands to install bitcoind :

===================================================

Install the wallet Bitcoin:
Run these command lines one after the other:
1. sudo aptitude install python-software-properties
2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
3. sudo aptitude update
4. sudo aptitude install bitcoind
5. mkdir ~/.bitcoin/ 

Configure Bitcoind Edit an empty ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file in the .bitcoin folder, enter this
command: nano ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

Insert the following code in it:
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=INVENT_A_UNIQUE_USERNAME
rpcpassword=INVENT_A_UNIQUE_PASSWORD
rpcport=8332
addnode=INSERT_THE_COIN_NODE

Start Bitcoind Just type bitcoind in the terminal.
bitcoind

It will output “Bitcoin server starting”
To see your available balance, type: bitcoind getbalance.
Result should be: 0.00000000 

=======================================================

So when i am checking my balance with this command : bitcoind getbalance

its giving me this error ::
Error: There is no RPC client functionality in bitcoind anymore. Use the bitcoin-cli utility instead.

I have tried to find solution for this error but not get yet. I hope you guys can help me out regarding my issue hopefully.

Check your path. Make sure that the binary for bitcoin-cli is on the path (it should be since bitcoind ran).

Try running the binary directly by entering in the full path for bitcoin-cli.
