have armory use blockchain on D drive

[vapourminer]

ok idiotic question time.

so Im trying to run armory, ultimately to import a wallet from 2012.

my blockchain is on drive d "d:\bitcoin-blockchain". core is in its default location "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"

I ran armory went to settings, I pointed the "bitcoin install dir" option to "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" and "bitcoin home dir" to "d:\bitcoin-blockchain"

I have core running. then I fire up armory. and it sits there saying "armory is offline"

what am I doing wrong? does it have to do with the blockchain locations? I do NOT want to dl another blockchain just for armory, core and armory can share correct? an both run at the same time?

If you are running core manually, then you need to uncheck the option "Let Armory run Bitcoin-Core/bitcoind in the background". This will gray out the Bitcoin install dir and Bitcoin home dir. Then, in the startup command for Armory, you need to add the following:

Code:

--satoshi-datadir=d:\bitcoin-blockchain
