Can you try this command?

Code:

./bitcoind -daemon

Or go to the directory where your bitcoind is installed then open the terminal on that directory then use that command again.

If it doesn't work use this command

Code:

chmod +x bitcoind

Then try the above command again.

decided to update to 0.21.1

how exactly did you "update" bitcoin core? It sounds like the location of the bitcoind binary is no longer included in your PATH.

Do you know where the bitcoind binary is located?

[vv181]

in processes pid 4261 bitcoin launched

Can you also confirm the Bitcoin services is launched by executing and post the output of:

Code:

$ ps -fwwp <PID>

In your case, the PID should be 4261 or just change it, if it has a new one.

Yep as @HCP suspects, the bitcoind binary isn't on your PATH. But since the bitcoind binary is located on /usr/bin/ I think somehow your whole Bash PATH is misconfigured, the location should be listed as default Bash PATH. Try to run "echo $PATH", the output should be like:

Code: (https://serverfault.com/a/838552)

/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:.
#or
/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

Anyway, as a temporary fix run below command:

Code:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

After that, you probably now can run the bitcoind command. Try to check its version by running bitcoind --version.

Can you run this command to see whether bitcoind is exist on /usr/bin with correct permission?

Code:

ls -lha /usr/bin | grep bitcoin

P.S. if the result is empty, it means bitcoind isn't exist on /usr/bin

I can't think what's the problem, the permission/owner-ship is correct and the symbolic link seems fine. If you don't mind shortcut (rather than neat solution), try adding /opt/bitcoin-v0.16.1/bin/ to your $PATH.

can i delete bq?
to re-install. the system is disabled and is not required at the moment. i can remove and install everything correctly


cd '/usr/local/bin' && rm -f bitcoind bitcoin-cli bitcoin-tx bitcoin-wallet test_bitcoin bench_bitcoin bitcoin-qt test_bitcoin-qt
cd '/usr/local/include' && rm -f bitcoinconsensus.h
rm -f '/usr/local/lib/libbitcoinconsensus.la'
cd '/usr/local/share/man/man1' && rm -f bitcoind.1 bitcoin-qt.1 bitcoin-cli.1 bitcoin-tx.1 bitcoin-wallet.1
cd '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig' && rm -f libbitcoinconsensus.pc

is that all need to delete?

Make sure that bitcoind is in your PATH environment variable and restart the shell (by restarting the operating system or running a new "bash" shell).

Code:

# Find the directory that bitcoind binary is located and run:
export PATH="/home/bitcoind/folder/bin:${PATH}" >> ~/.bashrc
# replace "/home/bitcoind/folder/bin" with the correct folder

Wouldn't it be correct to uninstall and reinstall everything so that there are no such problems in the future?

Wouldn't it be correct to uninstall and reinstall everything so that there are no such problems in the future?

In this case, it is not necessary. [You only need to do that if you want to make bitcoind installed in /usr folder instead of /opt/bitcoin-v0.16.1]

I believe your bitcoind is installed in /opt/bitcoin-v0.16.1/bin/ .

So you just need to add that folder to your "PATH" environment variable.

By the way, 0.16 is quite an old version, shouldn't you install the latest 22.0 version instead?

how to uninstall the old Bitcoin Core version?

[HCP]

how to uninstall the old Bitcoin Core version?

Theoretically, it should be as simple as deleting the "/opt/bitcoin-v0.16.1" folder and everything in it... (this assumes that your block data and wallets are being stored in "/home/.bitcoin" and are not also in the "/opt/bitcoin-v0.16.1" folder tree.)

[HCP]

Does it apply if you install compile Bitcoin Core from source code and install using command sudo make install? Because that's what script (which mentioned by OP) do.

I believe so... this guide (which essentially follows the same flow of make and sudo make install says in the "Extra Guidance" section:

How To Recompile/Update Bitcoin Core

Recompiling Bitcoin Core and updating Bitcore Core are essentially the same procedure. We’re going to delete or rename the Bitcoin install directory, and then just reinstall Bitcoin all over again with the newer version.

Ideally, as they suggest, you should probably rename the folder initially to something like "bitcoin-OLD", rather than deleting it... so if anything goes wrong, you can simply change the folder name back and you should still have it.
