Armory DB massages, what do they mean?Armory stops DB

[segeln]

Too many log files. Delete armorylog.txt, armorycpplog.txt and dbLog.txt. Then run Armory again, then post the new logs.

BtW: Databasebuilder parsed file #700
How many blockfiles are still to come?

Build is done, run ArmoryQt, it will start scanning.

Thank you for your help,but now my laptop dos not run properly.
I had already contact with the DELL-Support.
It might ber possible the laptop has to be send to the factory and get repaired.
Will report to you

please cross all your fingers for me,that the download of a new chipset was the only trouble my laptop made

I did what goatpig advised and here is the new log

http://pastebin.com/i42V9wZd

How can I import a watch-only copy,because armory always says: Armory is in the middle of scanning ....cannot import an account.

[goatpig]

Either let it finish scanning, or import the wallet in offline mode, then restart in online mode.

[segeln]

Somehow I managed to get a watch-only copy installed in Armory.I have no offline option of armory at my laptop-programms.
While building databases  I got suddenly the notification (this happened already sometimes before) ArmoryQt does not work.
So I decided to make a factory reset (the lighest option) and now I am waiting for the result
I will report .


Edit:what is the reason for Armory does not work?
How to fix it?

[goatpig]

That's the most extreme option...

You should refrain from trying to fix a problem you do not understand. If run into a roadblock, the best thing to do is to post your log files here and wait for a response.

well,I got your message.
But I was so happy,Armory started to build databases
anyway I hope the factory reset will work.
Thanks for your advice.

After the admonishment from goatpig  (thanks for you patience with me-I am 71 old-) Iwould us an extreme option  and I should not have used things I am not nerx familiar with
I dit the following.
From December 07, 2016, 03:03:36 PM )I startet lightest version of facory rest and run Armory untis abur 10 PM,was tired and wenr to bed.
The next day I run Armory from 8 AP to 16 PM but nothing happend at the building databases Armorx-Display nor on the Scanninh Tanasaction History.

Again thanks to goatpig as archow101 as well and my greatest appreciation for yor patience with me als old man

Now I am still running Armory and waiting for a miracle

[goatpig]

Your database and blockchain data look fine so far.

Start ArmoryQt in offline mode, in Files -> Settings, turn off auto bitcoind management (the first checkbox), then shut it down.

Next, start BitcoinQt, let it catch up. Then start ArmoryQt in online mode.

[segeln]

Thanks goatpig,
as I have armory not in the offline mode in the armory folder.
So ,how to start Armory in oflline mode?

[segeln]

Now Armory is in sannning  in Trancaction Hystery mode.I think I have to wait now for sometime
Build Database bar is completely green

As the notification ArmoryQt does not work again appeared,Ijust ignored it und went on executing our advices ,goatpig

[goatpig]

Looks like your last block data file is damaged.

First, shutdown Armory. Make sure ArmoryDB.exe is not running. If it is, terminate the process.

Next, open the command prompt, type in these commands:

Code:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\

ArmoryDB.exe --thread-count=1

Last, start ArmoryQt. Then, post log files again.

you said some posts before:

Next, start BitcoinQt, let it catch up

Does that mean,if this is done, I can shut down BitcoinQt because Armory in online will shutdown BircoinQt and run bicoind in the backgrund?
   
 

[segeln]

When I type in
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\

ArmoryDB.exe --thread-count=1

the command prompt line shows me always C:\Users\Thomas> and when I execute these command,it says ...file cannot be found...

becasuse the command line starts with C:\Users\Thomas>
and not empty or at least C:

What does the cd before C:\Program Files(86).... mean?
or how can I give the laptop the right way,where armory and Armory DB.exe ist installed.

[achow101]

The cd means change directory. It tells the command prompt to go to that folder.

Instead of doing the cd command, open up the file explorer and go to wherever you have armory installed. Then click on an empty spot in the file explorer and hold Shift then right click. Choose the option "Open a command window here". Then type the second command with ArmoryDB.

Thanks for the Help my trouble makes. I did what you recommended .It looks like this in the CommandPropmt

C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory>ArmoryDB.exe --thread-count=1

With the above Line do I have to do something  now or just start Armory?
is the sign 

>

  before ArmoryDH.exe.. right?

Next question:Do  I have to start Armory on-or offline???
Which way?

[achow101]

Hit enter. There should be some output on the console. Leave it open and wait for a message about "enable zero-conf tracking". Then start Armory normally while the console is still open.

it is in scanning transaction mode now.

But no connection with bitindJparsonnode,because in one of the last advices I should

Start ArmoryQt in offline mode, in Files -> Settings, turn off auto bitcoind management (the first checkbox), then shut it down.
Next, start BitcoinQt, let it catch up. Then start ArmoryQt in online mode.

When I opened now Armory it was still in the offlinemode
because before opening armory and mark the box

let Armory run bitcoinid in the background

it is still in the offline mode

Armory is now running offline,as the task-Manager indicates.Can I shut down now Armory and start again  in online mode?

Do I have to do the commandpromt again,the way ,you,archow 101 told me,before I start Armory online?


Sorry for the many questions,but goatpig ticked me off (quite righly),because I was doing things I do not understand.

[achow101]

Uncheck that box. Stop Armory. Close the command prompt with ArmoryDB.

Start Bitcoin Core. Let it run until it is fully synced. Once it is keep it running and repeat the steps I gave for running the ArmoryDB command in a command prompt. Then start Armory while both ArmoryDB and Bitcoin core are still running.
