Bitcoind don't start

[Duckme]

Hello guys,

I compiled bitcoind from source. All was working, bitcoind was already ON.

I needed to restart bitcoind (new entry on bitcoin.conf) and now bitcoind don't start

When I launch bitcoind -deamon

Nothing show, I can't enter new command line, I need to CTRL+C to be able to enter a new command line.

I don't found any log for the bitcoind ... Any one can help me ?

Thank you !

Restart your computer and try again.  Is it possible the changes you made to bitcoin.conf caused the failure?

bitcoind does not need any command line options; it runs as a daemon. I'll just quote the wikipedia definition of daemon for you:

• a daemon (/ˈdeɪmən/ or /ˈdiːmən/)[1] is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.

What you can do is start the daemon, and then in a second window, issue RPC commands to the server:

  bitcoind getblockcount
    Returns the number of blocks in the longest block chain.

  bitcoind getbalance
    Returns the server’s total available balance.

  bitcoind sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> <amount> [comment] [comment-to]
    <amount> is a real and is rounded to the nearest 0.00000001

and then to stop the daemon without completely corrupting your wallet:
  bitcoind stop
