Troubles with Armory

[brutus500]

Hi,

In November I bought some BTC and sent it to my Armory wallet.
After I downloaded bitcoin core and sync'd it fully.

I could not get Armory online.
Today I updated Armoy to latest version and now it does not even want to start anymore.

Is there anything that I can do?
Can I send the puRchase of december to my Electrum wallet, or is that not possible?

Thank you!

Please post your logs on Pastebin and then post the link here. Also, please confirm which version of Core you're running.

Betting that you are using RC2 on Windows. Either use the workaround in that thread, or use RC1

Thank you for your quick responce.
Which logs exactly would you like to see?

Bitcoin Core v0.15.0.1 (64-bit)

Where do I check RC1, or RC2 is used?

Since your Armory won't load, check the name of the exe/zip you downloaded. armory_0.96.3.991 is RC2. armory_0.96.3.99 is RC1

Thank you for your quick responce.

Bitcoin Core v0.15.0.1 (64-bit)

For logs head to C:\Users\YourUsernameHere\AppData\Roaming\Armory (Or %appdata%\Armory)
Should see dbLog.txt and armorylog.txt there. Add those to pastebin (or cryptbin if preferred) and paste the links here.

Indeed it is RC2..
I'll try to fix that now.
Logs are coming.

Armory does start now. But keeps in building databases..

Here are my logfiles. Armorylog.txt

Thank you for your time and effort.

That'd be a problem - DB log says your blocks are in Z:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks. Is that right?

That is correct.
I've looked before into the pathing instruction and that is not very clear to me.
So, how will I solve this?

[brutus500]

Somewhere on this forum I found a possible solution for my issue.
In the shortcut to Armory you paste this in target:
--satoshi-datadir=Z:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks
I did that and than I get the notification that Armory cannot spawn the DB.
So I removed it and armory starts normal, but hangs on preparing databases.

The strangest thing to me is that in the C:\Users\userx\AppData\Roaming\Armory folder in the file ArmorySettings.txt, I put this line:
SatoshiDatadir | Z:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks

Still it won't work.

Who can help?

Thank you.

I renamed the two logfiles so there are some fresh logs made.
In the dbLog.txt I see the following errors:
-ERROR - 20:55:07.045: (..\BDM_Server.cpp:1327) Accept failed with error number: 10038
-ERROR - 20:55:07.045: (..\BDM_Server.cpp:1328) error message is: Unknown error


And this in the other log:
2018-01-10 21:25:31 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:201 - DB error: C:\Users\userx\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

While this is in the ArmorySettings file:
SatoshiDatadir  | Z:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks

I am confiused.

SatoshiDatadir | Z:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks

Remove that line from ArmorySettings.txt

Create a file named "armoryqt.conf" (in the same folder as ArmorySettings.txt) and add this:

Code:

satoshi-datadir="Z:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks"

Try starting up again with that in place.

@PhoenixFire

I removed the line and created the new settings file.
Armory is Building Databases now!
it is looking way better than last weeks.

Let's see how this ends..

[brutus500]

It works!
I am online and I see my purchased bitcoin in december for the first time!

Thank you very much!
