Problems with Bitcoin.conf since 0.95.1

[Umba]

Hello,

I upgraded to the new armory version a few days Ago. BTC-Core and the BTC-Core-Blockchain are installed on a different Location. As in the version before I choose the option to run the core client manually, but when I do and restart Armory, it does not start. I get the following error in the log:

(ERROR) Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 6909, in <module>
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 685, in __init__

CalledProcessError: Command '[u'icacls', u'D:\\Tools\\BTC Core\\Bitcoin\\bitcoin.conf', u'/inheritance:r', u'/grant:r', u'Patrick:F']' returned non-zero exit status 5

When I try to open or delete the bitcoin.conf file, I get the errormessage that i cannot access the file (btc-core client is shut down of course)

What can i do?

The issue here is with file permissions. Right click the bitcoin.conf file and change the security settings to allow everyone to read and write from it. You may need to be an administrator to do that.

Thank you! That was the solution for my problem. Everything is fine now

Unluckily Armory does still not start when I try to run armoryQT.exe with btc-core allready running. when trying to solve the problem by startingarmoryDB.exe first as mentioned here, I alwa sgeht this message:

S:\Armory>

Of course there is no other armoryDB instance running. How can I fix this problem?

[achow101]

Open task manager and kill any process named ArmoryDB.

[Umba]

There is definetly no other task namend armoryDB running. I also killed all other non necessary tasks, but it does not work. It there any other possible source for this problem? Unluckily I have just one computer

[goatpig]

You have something listening on port 9001 on localhost, that's stopping the db from setting up.

Thank you! Problem #2 is solved now too, and everything works fine.

The Problem was, that Ultima Media Server used port 9001 too and permanently blocked it!
