[Reward] Armory Wallet Stuck

[PhoenixFire]

"Datadir" = D:Bitcoin
"Where on D: do you want Armory to store its database?" Thought this is automatic when you download the program?
Bitcoin Core is on the D: drive
Armory is on the C: or D: drive. I've tried both

Thanks for the info, just testing the config files before I upload and finish writing instructions

"Where on D: do you want Armory to store its database?" Thought this is automatic when you download the program?

It will store on C: usually but I think you mentioned you'd like them both on D: ?
I've set it to "D:\ArmoryDB" in the config file.

"Datadir" = D:Bitcoin
Bitcoin Core is on the D: drive
Armory is on the C: or D: drive. I've tried both

Great. I've made these .conf files for you to download:
https://gofile.io/?c=qu6xRt

You may need to manually create a new folder named "ArmoryDB" on D: (i.e at the same level as the Bitcoin folder).

• Open just Armory and go to File> Settings
• Make sure your settings look like this:
  
• Click Save and close Armory entirely - make sure ArmoryDB is not running in the background
• Type the following into your taskbar and hit return:

Code:

%appdata%\Armory\

• This should open a window with your Armory wallet files and log files, but if you don't see that you can get there manually (some folders may be hidden by default):

Code:

C:\Users\yourusernamegoeshere\AppData\Roaming\Armory

• Copy the downloaded "armoryqt.conf" to this directory
• Navigate to D:\Bitcoin and rename the existing "bitcoin.conf" to "bitcoin.backup" (or anything else) and copy the downloaded "bitcoin.conf" here.
• Go to D:\. Make a new folder here called "ArmoryDB", just in case Armory doesn't create it
• If Bitcoin Core has been running, shut it down - you could restart the machine at this step, for good measure, if you want to make sure everything is shut down.
• Start Bitcoin Core again and wait for it load the blockchain i.e. let it get to the overview screen
• Keep Bitcoin Core running and start Armory.
• Cross your fingers

At this point Armory should start building from the correct and current blockchain. Will take a little while but there should be progress info in the Armory window.
If this doesn't do it, we really need to see your logs as has been suggested by bob123.

Here's the Armory log> https://pastebin.com/aaSmUqSc

As expected, it was simply a "pathing" issue... Armory was looking for your Bitcoin data in the "default" location... and failing:

2019-06-13 11:24:31 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:197 - DB error: C:\Users\RcrBo\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

I have the bitcoin.conf file but there's nothing in there. Not sure how to put the "server=1" in it.

It's just a "text" file with a .conf file extension... so you should be able to open it with notepad (or another texteditor) and just put the text there... or download the .conf files that PhoenixFire has created for you

PhoenixFire and HCP,

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me with this, however, I had run out of patience by 2:00PM yesterday.

So I returned that Dell G7 machine and picked up a HP Spectre, 1TB SSD Drive laptop.
Core 0.18 installed, Armory 96.5 installed, wallet fixed.................

what a pain-in-the-ass.....................

But it's fixed and I learned some new things, so thank you both.

Please PM me you Bitcoin address so I can send you some coins for
your time.

Cheers,
Mark
