I created a PR here that should have the info you need. If not, let me know, and I'll update the PR when I can.

Thanks, i am looking into it,
But got this error running python armoryd.py

Which version of Armory are you running? Also, is this the latest armoryd?

[manjunath2334]

Yes, we are using the latest version v0.96, as per the documentation mentioned. Let me know, if you get free to get connect personally through team viewer atleast for max 15min to resolve the issue.

[droark]

Yes, we are using the latest version v0.96, as per the documentation mentioned.

Do you mean 0.96 or 0.96.4? I ask because there are still people getting Armory from an old web site that has 0.96 as the latest version. Nobody should be running 0.96.

[manjunath2334]

Oh!!! we are using v0.96 let me checkout to v0.96.4 and compile to source, will get back to you if we have any queries.

[goatpig]

1) Make sure you are using the right version of Armory. armoryd as found in the repo (https://github.com/goatpig/armoryd) is meant to be paired with Armory as found in the master branch of the BitcoinArmory repo (https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory)

2) Start your Bitcoin node.

3) Start ArmoryDB. This is the blockchain processing service that interfaces between the Bitcoin network (your node) and clients (ArmoryQt/armoryd). ArmoryQt automates the node and db for you, but armoryd does not, as it expects you are savvy enough to manage the software stack yourself.

4) At this point you should be able to run armoryd (python armoryd.py)

[manjunath2334]

will do.

Hi @droark/@goatpig
Now we are getting below error on running python armoryd.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

[droark]

When you invoked ArmoryDB, did you set fcgi-port to 9001? (I know listen-port is in the doc I referenced. That's for Armory 0.97.)

[goatpig]

Is there a file named .cookie_ in your Armory datadir (where the wallets and .conf are)? If so, delete it.

[manjunath2334]

I have deleted the file .cookie_ and below is the latest file list, But issue is still existing (ERROR) armoryd.py:3256 - could not find instance of armorydb at 127.0.0.1:9001

This log shows the DB running fine. What issues are you experiencing?

[manjunath2334]

Below are the steps executed for installing Armory, let me know if any issue in these steps.
1. Clone the repository from https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory and checkout into v0.96.4, after this did rest of the steps as per the documentation https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/linuxbuild/Linux_build_notes.md
2. Clone the repository from https://github.com/goatpig/armoryd
3. Copied the armoryd.py and txjsonrpc from armoryd folder into BitcoinArmory folder
4. Executed the python ArmoryQt.py command and this opens the Armory wallet GUI and node will started to sync
5. Try to execute the python armoryd.py to start the armoryd rpc inside the BitcoinArmory , but this is giving below error

python armoryd.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "update_version.py", line 14, in <module>

[goatpig]

Yeah that's not gonna work because the client randomizes the DB port when it automates it. Just run ArmoryDB on its own then armoryd.

[manjunath2334]

what is command to run ArmoryDB? and also by running this, i don't need to run python ArmoryQt.py

[goatpig]

what is command to run ArmoryDB?

./ArmoryDB

also by running this, i don't need to run python ArmoryQt.py

No.
