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

yidakee · Apr 28, 2014

I don't know... I followed this tutorial line by line...

I'll start again from Part 2... maybe I missed a step... But I'm sure I didn't.

EDIT: ok.. so I did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade again, just to be sure... I am 150% I did it the first time. If everything is updated and upgraded, why the heck did it do it again?

Ok, progress until step 8 (Reboot) - does this look ok?

Now, on Step 8, should I copy/paste current, or get RC2 !?

EDIT: seriously, sorry about the spam, but i did take the bloody day off for this and I'm extremely frustrated... I went ahead and substituted "beta" with "rc2" in the links for the more updated daemon. But its the exact same thing. here is the config

Code:

  GNU nano 2.2.6                          File: /home/ubuntu/.darkcoin/darkcoin.conf                                                           

#----
rpcuser=not_my_real_login
rpcpassword=stupid_password_123
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
#--------------------
# change ami_public_ip to public ip address which you connected by ssh
externalip=54.72.246.62
#---------------------
#------------
masternode=1
addnode=23.23.186.131
#----------

but when I try to run darkcoind, it says

Code:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-18-176:~$ darkcoind
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Aborted (core dumped)

yidakee · Apr 30, 2014

I terminated the instance and tried again, except this time i stayed as root for everything (wget rc2 etc) and bingo, everything worked.
I have no clue why, but I'm running the MN

TanteStefana · May 1, 2014

RC2 is ONLY in testnet right now, you can't use it live. It probably won't go live either, not until RC3

yidakee · May 1, 2014

yes yes, testnet

I've got to step 11.

When I run darkcoind I get, "Darkcoin server starting" and it does nothing else.

ssh-ing in from another terminal I run darkcoind getinfo/getmininginfo and get this:

Code:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-2-128:~$ darkcoind getinfo
{
  "version" : 90102,
  "protocolversion" : 70002,
  "walletversion" : 60000,
  "balance" : 0.00000000,
  "blocks" : 38646,
  "timeoffset" : 0,
  "connections" : 9,
  "proxy" : "",
  "difficulty" : 442.61713803,
  "testnet" : false,
  "keypoololdest" : 1398697015,
  "keypoolsize" : 101,
  "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
  "mininput" : 0.00001000,
  "errors" : ""
}

Code:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-2-128:~$ darkcoind getmininginfo
{
  "blocks" : 44127,
  "currentblocksize" : 0,
  "currentblocktx" : 0,
  "difficulty" : 541.28419999,
  "errors" : "",
  "generate" : false,
  "genproclimit" : -1,
  "hashespersec" : 0,
  "networkhashps" : 13059014921,
  "pooledtx" : 0,
  "testnet" : false
}

log gives a bunch of stuff like:

Code:

2014-05-06 10:05:21 connected 192.99.32.166:9999
2014-05-06 10:05:21 send version message: version 70002, blocks=0, us=54.187.147.18:9999, them=192.99.32.166:9999, peer=192.99.32.166:9999

Is this looking right so far?

I'm worried I have the wrong version of darkcoind

edit: looks up to date now with what my wallet and miner are showing me:

Code:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-2-128:~$ darkcoind getmininginfo
{
  "blocks" : 63750,
  "currentblocksize" : 0,
  "currentblocktx" : 0,

  "errors" : "",

  "hashespersec" : 0,
  "networkhashps" : 29468337134,
  "pooledtx" : 12,
  "testnet" : false
}

log now showing stuff like:

Sorry to be a big girls blouse about it all, want to get it right!

thelonecrouton · May 6, 2014

UPDATED with some answers to my own questions, hopefully they are correct!

OK I forged ahead regardless, I am now stuck at step 18

darkcoind masternode start mypassphrase gives me "incorrect passphrase"

I entered mypassphrase as the one I put in darkcoin.conf, couldn't remember setting one anywhere else, but no worky.

edit: OK you're supposed to enter the passphrase of your wallet.dat !!! Told you I was senile.

Code:

successfully started masternode

How can I see it from elsewhere? IP is 54.187.147.18
"darkcoind masternode list"

And can I close that terminal window? Because the passphrase to my 1000DRK is now sat there in plain sight.
Yes, daemon will persist

This works on linux:

darkcoind masternode start `head -1`

Type your password on the next line. If you do it this way the history will show 'head -1' instead of your password.

Hi there chaeplin!

For some reason, I am unable to pull the darkcoin client from github, as the password is required for download. I took a look and it seemed to me, the git archive is public. So, what to do?

Code:

root@xxxxxx:~# git clone https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin.git
Cloning into 'darkcoin'...
Username for 'https://github.com':
Password for 'https://github.com':
fatal: Authentication failed

I have edited step 9.

Rux · May 9, 2014

Stuck on #16

-bash: ./darkcoind: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

i stoped darkcoind, and put new wallet.dat, after that i went to start ./darkcoind and got this error

can chaeplin help? or anyone

edit: ok i think pass that error
but new one when typing masternode start without pass, i didnt put password on dat because im testing 1st.
error: {"code":-1,"message":"masternode list|count|current> passphrase\n"}
this can be fixed when i put .dat with pass

next thing is when i type darkcoind getinfo i think something is blocking me to sync cache

Hello everyone.
I've successfully started masternode on one of my local machines using this guide. The only problem is that after I restarted darkcoind my IP is listed twice in 'masternode list'.
How can I delete the double entry?
And maybe someone has security tips for running node on local machine behind router (I had to open port 9999 in the router through port forwarding, UPnP is disabled).

I made this work a few days ago, but now I'm doing it again with RC2 and I get an error in #6.

When I write the code under '* enable sysstat(edit)' it does nothing and I have to interrupt.

If I do it line by line, after entering:

Code:

edit /etc/default/sysstat

I get:

Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/default/sysstat" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"

Any ideas where I'm doing it wrong?

Use vi or nano.
edit means 'do edit'

I got the following error when running in masternode locally (I've connected to remote daemon successfully)

Code:

ngocnp@ubuntu:~/DRK/beta$ ./darkcoind masternode start "my-pass-phrase" not capable masternode ngocnp@ubuntu:~/DRK/beta$ ./darkcoind getbalance 1000.00000000

Do you know what is the reason?

I have managed to run it successfully. I forgot that on testnet the port is 19999, not 9999 as in real net.

rickraw · May 16, 2014

Ok, I am having troubles getting a connection:

I am using other VPS (not AWS) so haven't played with the iptables yet. Opened port 9999 though.

Any thoughts?

Exact same thing happened to me, was about to post here last night then it started syncing. How long have you been waiting? Try waiting at least an hour, it should start syncing/connecting soon.

I can wait awhile just concerned because it is saying connection refused...

So was I, I checked the logs too when mine wasn't syncing it said the same thing but it starting syncing eventually and everything worked out. I even checked http://drk.poolhash.org/darksend.html and I'm there.

Still nothing. Can I close all instances of port 53, 953, and 123 (DNS and NTP)?
