I'm having a devil of a time trying to move the Armory database and Armory keeps rewriting it in my SSD at C: (Windows OS). So what am I missing? Followed the instructions as best as I could at the troubleshooting site.

Armory is installed at F:\crypt\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe

I moved the BitcoinQT install to F:\Bitcoin

Bitcoin blocks are moved to F:\Bitcoin-Data

I have an Armory shortcut on the desktop with the target changed to F:\crypt\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe –satoshi-datadir=“F:\Bitcoin-Data” –datadir=”F:\Armory\dir” –dbdir=”F:\Armory\dir\databases" (I've tried a few permutations of this string. This is the latest attempt)

Once Armory starts up and runs through checking the blocks, it starts to rebuild the database at C:\Users\Yes\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases and kills my SSD.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot where I'm going wrong here? Thanks.

Are those two dashes or one dash? It should be two.

where should there be two dashes? Troubleshooting is showing me one dash in the whole string. Should it be:

F:\crypt\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe --satoshi-datadir="F:\Bitcoin-Data" --datadir="F:\Armory\dir" --dbdir="F:\Armory\dir\databases"

or more localized double dashes?

That site is a little messed up. It is also not the official site of Armory. The official site is https://btcarmory.com/

Should it be:

F:\crypt\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe --satoshi-datadir="F:\Bitcoin-Data" --datadir="F:\Armory\dir" --dbdir="F:\Armory\dir\databases"
Yes

That seems to have solved it! Wish I'd noticed that that site wasn't the real one. They've got good SEO :/

Thanks!

The site you posted is the original site of armory, but they no longer maintain it.

I don't own that page, it belongs to ATI, the former Armory maintainer.
