rpcallowip=*
works at all?

In the later version of bitcoind I do believe this is something like:

Code:

::/0

No. It doesn't work.

Anyway, I've figured out a fix/workaround. Since I can connect locally, I am hosting a webserver on the VPS as an API to connect to bitcoind. From my site, I can POST/GET to the API and perform operations thus.

Nope. Neither of you guys' solutions works. Thanks for your time, though.

Also, for the reason of testing... remove

Quote

rpcallowip=IP.OF.WEB.SERVER

also IP of webserver will need to be loopback usually, so 127.0.0.1 in most cases. Not the public facing IP.

What do you mean?

Explain it to a dummy

--snip--

try to connect this way :

$btc = new jsonRPCClient(http://username:password@host:8332);

instead of
$btc = new jsonRPCClient("http://username:password@host:8332/");

tell me if it changes something

Will try.

Try,

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8332

If that works, Try

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332

Hullo!

I've had some problems getting a PHP script using jsonRPCClient to connect to a running bitcoind daemon on another, external server. My bitcoin.conf currently looks like this:

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=IP.OF.WEB.SERVER
rpcport=8332

The PHP script is something like this:

Code:


require 'jsonRPCClient.php';

$btc = new jsonRPCClient("http://username:password@host:8332/");
print_r($btc->getinfo());

?>

Debug shows error occurs when jsonRPCClient tries to connect to the server. Either a "Connection timed out." or "Connection refused." error.

Bounty goes to the first person to give me a working solution to this problem.

Solutions I've Tried

Open all ports on netstat. Nope. All open. VPS hoster is not blocking any ports their side.

Is it listening? Yup, it is, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Code:

netstat -nlp | grep 8332
tcp6       0      0 :::8332                 :::*                    LISTEN      19482/bitcoind

try to connect this way :

$btc = new jsonRPCClient(http://username:password@host:8332);

instead of
$btc = new jsonRPCClient("http://username:password@host:8332/");

tell me if it changes something
