bitcoin-0.9.2-linux , "error: server returned HTTP error 403"

[stepkrav]

So, i downloaded, compiled and run bitcoind 0.9.2 on debian stable.

Code:

./configure --disable-wallet --without-miniupnpc
make

bitcoind is run under 'bitcoin' user.

there is a ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file containing

Code:

rpcuser=some
rpcpassword=somethingelse
txindex=1

so i start bitcoind, and then i try to interact with it like:

Code:

bitcoind getinfo

or

Code:

bitcoin-cli getinfo

In both case i get

"error: server returned HTTP error 403"

It's strange cause this setup used to work until the previous bitcoin version, or the one before it. Any ideas what's going on?

[stepkrav]

thanks but same error. 

[cava]

try this

server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

restart bitcoind

[stepkrav]

nope.

i've even tried

Code:

bitcoind -rpcuser=some -rpcpassword=else

and then

Code:

 bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=some -rpcpassword=else getinfo

and it fails

[RedDiamond]

nope.

i've even tried

Code:

bitcoind -rpcuser=some -rpcpassword=else

and then

Code:

 bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=some -rpcpassword=else getinfo

and it fails

You can try

Code:

bitcoind -rpcuser=some -rpcpassword=else -rpcallowip=MYIP

Replace MYIP with you ip or network address.

I know this is a rather silly question but Ill ask anyway since it seemed strange to me at first.

You do run bitcoind once with all the parameters you want and run amother instance to query it?

E.g. bitcoind -conf...
open new terminal
bitcoind getinfo

There may be something relevant in the debug.log.

I did have rpallowip=127.0.0.1 wouldn't work. I changed it with the public IP and it worked! Damn me. Thanks.
