Ok guys im attempting to create a new CryptoNote blockchain using these instructions: http://forknote.net/guides/starting-seed-node/

The blockchain is just for private testing purposes for a university project im working on, in which im trying to introduce cryptocurrencys.

i cant get the seed note running, im using digitalocean droplet


im getting this

root@testcoin:~# start forknote-testcoin-daemon
start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/ups           tart: Connection refused
root@testcoin:~# start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/ups
No command 'start:' found, did you mean:
 Command 'start' from package 'upstart' (main)
 Command 'startx' from package 'xinit' (main)
start:: command not found

Stop copy and pasting the above lines. This extra error is unnecessary and confuses people. It is just a result of your copy and pasting your terminal from the original command and it's output.

There's your problem. Ubuntu 14.10+ stopped using Upstart, it uses systemd now. The guide you were following used 14.04 and thus Upstart.

Create a file called forknote-testcoin-daemon.service in /etc/systemd/system. Put in that file the following:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Forknote Testcoin Daemon

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=sudo -u fork /home/fork/forknote-linux/forknoted --no-console --config-file /home/fork/forknote-linux/configs/fakecoin.conf
ExecStopPost=sleep 30
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then run

Code:

systemctl start forknote-testcoin-daemon

If this fixes your issue, send the bounty to 16mT7jrpkjnJBD7a3TM2awyxHub58H6r6Z

Try running

Code:

systemctl daemon-reload

and then running the command I gave earlier. If that fails, run

Code:

systemctl status forknote-testcoin-daemon.service

and post the output of that.
