I have been trying to set up a faucet but am having problems interacting with the blockchain using RPC.

It will not let me query the rpc port the coin is using.  I have tried a simple getInfo query.

I don't know if the port is even open, ss it normal for it to say page unavailable when trying to access the rpc port via a web browser?

I am just running the wallet for the coin, which I thought was enough.  Do I need to do anything else?

Did you setup the rpcusername, rpcpassword, and make sure you have server=1 in your ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file. Also you will not be able to query RPC via a web browser.

use "netstat -natp" to check if the port is open

Thanks to both of you, that was very helpful.

I think I have it working.  Smiley
