Armory Not Talking to Bitcoin engine.

[cosmo1957]

## UPDATE: 7Oct21 @ 10.24pm:
After several restarts and option changes, I have managed to get Armory 96.5 working with Bitcoin engine 0.21.1
Armory 96.3 must use a command line option to change the data directory:
-- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="E:\Crypto_Storage\Armory"
Armory 96.5 allows this data directory to be set via the user interface.
However, it does not work.
I have to use the same command line option to get Armory 96.5 to work.
Can anyone else confirm this non-function ?
Thanks.

## Original:
Hi,
I upgraded from Armory 96.3 to 96.5
When I started Armory, the wallet check is ok, but not talking to bitcoin engine (0.21.1).
.
I reinstalled Armory 96.3 and the same problem.
I tried running Bitcoin engine standalone first, and also letting Armory manage bitcoin engine.
Armory is still not talking to bitcoin engine.
.
In summary, Bitcoin engine runs ok and Armory runs ok, but not talking.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

end.

I've tried it, changed the setting in the GUI = "Armory Database Dir: <to my Armory datadir>",
then removed the pathing settings in my armoryqt.conf file (same as the command line option).
And it indeed used the default Armory datadir.

Is this specifically the Armory Database directory... or is it ignoring the Bitcoin Home Dir as well?

Bitcoin Home Directory setting works in the GUI at my end.

But I'm puzzled how did that fixed the issue since it's he mentioned both work, while it's just a "not talking" or connection error where it's usually an RPC connection issue.
Can't tell without his reply.
