bitcoin -server error

February 08, 2011, 04:52:48 AM

When running bitcoin with -server I get this error message:

Quote

Warning: To use the "-server" option, you must set rpcpassword=<password> in the configuration file:
C:/Users/username/Appdata/Roaming/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

In bitcoin.conf I have:

Quote

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password

Am I missing something?

Make sure the file is in the correct directory and that the file name is not misspelled. I don't know how file permissions work under Windows, but also make sure the file is readable by the user starting the server. Other than that, I have no clue.

I had same problem before, not sure the cause is the same though.

I created bitcoin.conf using Windows New -> Text file, even though it showed "bitcoin.conf" as the file name, there's a hidden extension .txt. I renamed it using DOS and everything worked fine.

I believe you'd have to have separate conf files and specify the datadirectory for Bitcoin using the command line argument.
