Armory is Offline

[rasgbonyo]

I have installed bitcoin core to drive E:\program files. It is now up to date and I use e:\bitcoin as the directory for blocks and chain.

Now I have installed Armory. First it instructed me to shut down Bitcoin so I did so. It then couldn't find bitcoin core. OK, I then selected e:\program files\bitcoin as my location and used e:\bitcoin as my bitcoin home directory. Still offline.

Tried with e:\program files\bitcoin\daemon - no joy. Have tried many combinations. I know I am offline because I can start this thread. (Just wish Armory could decide the same!)

Please help me.

For anyone else who has this problem.

Solution was to change file permission on the file bitcoin.conf in the bitcoin data folder. For me: e:\bitcoin\bitcoin.conf

Sort of glad to see more people are coming forward with this issue. It's a really bizarre problem occurring for over a year. No idea on which program is changing permissions on the file.

Fixed it for me too, thanks. (Mine was caused by change of windows account, took ownership and BAM, back in action)
