How to set up ec2 t1.micro Ubuntu for Masternode part 2/3

Ugh, I've been trying to redo my MN by using this tutorial, and I thought my problem was due to the disabling of logging in as root, but actually, it's because of the iptables. I can no longer ssh into my instance when I reboot after step 7. Does it mess with my ssh security group (ssh, port 22, my ip only)?

Is anyone else having trouble? Because I'm following these instructions to the T The only warning I got in the above steps was when I did:
update-rc.d ntp defaults
and it said system start/stop links already existed.

Why can't I log back in after reboot? (refused)

'update-rc.d ntp defaults' is ntp related not to sshd.

Did instance say "ssh login to root refused" or "connection refused" ?

Use ubuntu as login user.
If you need root privilege, use 'sudo command' or 'sudo su -'

I will revise the guide to seperate 'login user' and 'Masternode user'
 
Yes, it said connection refused, and yah, I know about ssh, just wanted to be thorough that everything went like clockwork.

Did this several times, terminating the instance to start up anew. BTW, another thing that never happened before with my ec2, I cant get updates unless I open all ports. I figure, I'd open all ports to allow for updates, but close them when I'm ready to put my program in.

But yes, until I reboot, everything is going swimmingly. I can log in as Ubuntu with putty and winSCP no problems, but when I reboot, I can't.
 
* I have checked ntp and following added.
Code: 
update-rc.d ntp enable


For ssh problem.
1) can you check if public address of instance changed ?

2) comment iptables /etc/rc.local
Code: 
#/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables

3) check /etc/iptables
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [1038:145425]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [434:87191]

I had an idea, after doing apt-get update and apt-get distro upgrade, I rebooted and couldn't log back on. So this is a problem with the Ubuntu upgrade (I think) rather than anything here... I read that it was unstable, and should be reviewed carefully for changes that it wants to do before hitting Y as it will remove some packages and install others, which might not be what you'd want.

I didn't bother, I just hit Y lol.

Well, I got "successfully started masternode" but I don't see my ip on the list? I'm wondering how long that should take?

Could it be I'm not able to broadcast? Is there a quick way to see if my MN is broadcasting it's ip address and status, or if somehow the settings are blocking it?

Ugh, would you believe I put the wrong ip address in the config file? :oops:

Yah, but it's been working well since last night :) Thanks again, chaeplin!

Next question: Could you teach us how to check our logs and what a ddos attack might look like?

I had googled that, but want sure. Maybe because I chose Ireland as region? let me see...

EDIT: success! But when doing

Code: 
tail -f ~/.darkcoin/debug.log

I get this;

Any ideas?

Hmm, should not do so often(try connet to one ip address).
The ip address(192.99..) is seeder ip, so don't be a problem.
Check darkcoin.conf, whether externalipis changed.

My suggestion is 1) stop darkcoind, 2) remove peers.dat, 3) run again.
 
while I was waiting for help, I ran the command again and it works. Getting accepted messages. Guess I needed to let it connect before launching next command.

anyway, tried - darcoind getblockcount and its up to to height.

Since we're on test net RC2, I don't need to actually send real DRK's, right? And I can't seem to figure out how to do all this through terminal, all too used to GUI

Code: 
12. using home pc, make 1000 DRK encryped wallet.dat to upload
* use home pc, not ec2
* install new wallet
* check account address 0 / getaccountaddress 0
* https://www.darkcointalk.org/thread...ternode-requirements-masternode-payments.225/
* send 1000 DRK to that address
* encypt wallet
* backup wallet
* using scp upload encypted backup wallet.dat to ec2 ubuntu home directory

And also, trying to rm peers.dat

Code: 
ubuntu@ip-172-31-18-176:/usr/local/src/darkcoin$ rm peers.dat
rm: cannot remove 'peers.dat': No such file or directory
ubuntu@ip-172-31-18-176:/usr/local/src/darkcoin$ ls
COPYING  INSTALL  README.md  bitcoin-qt.pro  contrib  doc  share  src
ubuntu@ip-172-31-18-176:/usr/local/src/darkcoin$

But, when running mining ufo, I get this - shouldn't testnet=true?

I also tried * check account address 0 / getaccountaddress 0
darkcoind gettaccountaddress 0
and it generated an address starting with "X" not with "m" like I see in the RC2 test net thread.

dammit, what am I doing wrong?
Click to expand...

Darkcoin start with X. Testnet start with m.
With RC1, it's not testnet(As of this guide).
RC2 is in testnet stage for masternode payout test.

Code: 
RC1

    "protocolversion" : 70014,
    "walletversion" : 60000,

}
 
God dammit... so I decided to reboot, logged in, went to ./darkcoin and opened darkcoin.conf... empty!!

Did it 2x now, and it stays empty!! Dog dammit, took the day off for this and just sitting here...

So basically, since RC2 is out, this tutorial in no longer valid? (except obviously updated to RC2)
