Armory and Windows 10 and port 9001

[On_Off]

Hi!

I Have some problem.

windows 10 (version 2004, build 19041.84)
armory 0.96.5-beta-8730390989
bitcoind 0.19.0.1, i have full database blockchain

Port 9001 user by default windows 10

If i run armory with option ArmoryQt.exe --armorydb-port="9002" (i try also this option write to armoryqt.conf, analog result) i receive error "Database error, Armory failed to spawn the DB!"
log https://pastebin.com/3z9GtEae

And i try run db and armory separate

Code:

ArmoryDB.exe --fcgi-port=9002 --db-type="DB_FULL" --cookie --satoshi-datadir="C:\Users\onoff\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks" --datadir="C:\Users\onoff\AppData\Roaming\Armory\" --dbdir="C:\Users\onoff\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases"

and i see how db work in dbLog.txt

But armory have offline mode and error repeat https://pastebin.com/DFuAvw6Y. May be option with port not interpretate as string? And may be i need recompile armory with another default port in file ArmoryUtils.py ARMORYDB_DEFAULT_PORT = "9001"?

or may be anybody compile for me armory with another 9001 default port?

Are you sure the DB is actually running?

Are you sure the DB is actually running?

yes, i see process and how this process write log to dbLog.txt

if i run without option '--fcgi-port' i see in console:

i record the video https://yadi.sk/i/4w8WJlWGq1cjiA may be it help

This is telling you there's a zombie instance of ArmoryDB, you need to shut that down.

Last listened error throw then i not used custom port for db, its mean that i cant use port 9001.


I receive error then try using ArmoryQt.exe --armorydb-port=9002

2020-02-14 14:51:45 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1830 - Failed to start Armory database: in method 'BlockDataManagerConfig_hasLocalDB', argument 2 of type 'string const &'

Can u write smart tutorial how run armory without 9001 port?

He is saying that this is a "stuck" version of ArmoryDB that is already running (hidden in the background) and that stuck version is blocking port 9001. You need to kill all ArmoryDB process that are showing in Task Manager... or simply just shut everything down (close Armory and Bitcoin Core) and then restart your computer (that will definitely kill the zombie!)

Once you have restarted, simply start Bitcoin Core, wait until it is fully synced, then try opening Armory WITHOUT using custom ports!


For the record, Armory runs fine on Windows 10 with default port (9001)... that's what I'm doing right now!

Thx for advice

But above I showed a video of what happens when I just run Bitcoin Core + Armory (and after restart of course).

Armory freezes and writes non-stop to a file "C:\Users\onoff\AppData\Roaming\Armory\armorycpplog.txt" and it becomes very large (10Mb, 100Mb and etc)

20:52:54.375: (e:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\stringsockets.cpp:351) FcgiSocket::writeAndRead FcgiError: unexpected fcgi header version

In my system the process "System" with pid 4 is really uses port 9001

I can try used Armory in virtual machine with windows, but it's so slow, because Bitcoin data mounted in guest machine and read spead 30Mb/s...  And i have not any pc.

Actually... I take it back... my setup seems to be picking "random" ports:

Code: (dbLog.txt)

-INFO  - 15:00:52.031: (e:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\bdm_server.h:263) Listening on port 57177
...
-INFO  - 15:06:36.015: (e:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\bdm_server.h:263) Listening on port 58301
...
-INFO  - 19:59:14.109: (e:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\bdm_server.h:263) Listening on port 52336
...
-INFO  - 11:24:47.109: (e:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\bdm_server.h:263) Listening on port 54843
...
-INFO  - 08:34:07.125: (e:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\bdm_server.h:263) Listening on port 52128

etc... as you can see, the latest run is listening on port 52128

I don't have armoryqt.conf or armorydb.conf. I've simply set the settings for custom Block directory in the GUI.

The output I see is armorylog.txt is:

Code:

So, it's finding the "random" port number being used...

[goatpig]

When you let ArmoryQt spawn the DB, it randomizes the port for the DB and passes it to a cookie file that the DB reads from.
