from my experience bitcoind refuses any rpc request until it has the full blockchain
so just wait

That's wrong. It refuses RPC requests until it has finished loading, which takes quite a while.
If you want to verify this, start the bitcoin client with "server=1" in the config file and wait until it shows. Then issue any old command via RPC (I like "getinfo") before it has caught up with the network.

did bitcoind finish the chainblock download? (its faster with 0.5.2)

No, it has not. But I don't think that should keep p2pool from talking to bitcoind?

I still can't get p2pool to talk to bitcoind. Sad

I used the latest Bitcoin-Qt (0.5.2) and let the run_p2pool.exe run for a while. You can also keep the cgminer running. Until there are enough shares, output will mostly be complaining about communication errors. Once enough shares are downloaded, you will see a lot of activity on the console. Then, you will know that it has worked.

Finally, everything seems to be working. Now, I am officially P2pool miner from Deepbit.

It seems P2pool is still downloading the shares. Do I need to have all the shares before I am able to mine?

The first part of the output from p2pool execution is exactly similar to your output. The second part looks like this:

http://pastebin.com/NVst55VW

It seems to be running fine. After a while cgminer is unable to access run_p2pool. I checked bitcoind by accessing it at port 8332. Bitcoind is working fine.

That looks normal... Though it might be still downloading shares. Try running cgminer in debug mode (-D option) and checking if you see any errors saying "p2pool is downloading shares". Have you let P2Pool run for a while?

How long does P2pool usually take to download the shares?

Initially, cgminer actually is able to communicate with run_p2pool.exe. Only after a while, it complains about problems while communicating.

Anyway, I will let it run for a while just to see if that solves the problem.

You might have answered this, but what's your hash rate? Remember that it takes longer to find shares on p2pool compared to a traditional pool, so you have to be patient

Hash rate is approx. 300 MH/s.

After I go to http://127.0.0.1:9332/graphs/ it says I need to install python-rrdtool but I can only find source distributions and I'm really too lazy to compile it myself (it never runs out of the box and just ends up costing a lot of time). Are there binary distributions of this project?

Are you using Windows?

Yes, I am looking for a windows binary

please post the exact commands to run bitcoind and p2pool and their output.

Both of you:
You both seem to have problems connecting p2pool to the local bitcoind daemon.
(Seems like the windows I have available doesnt have telnet installed any more? lol)

Simply try http://127.0.0.1:8332 in your browser. If bitcoind is running, you will get a passwordprompt. You can check if your password is what you expect it to there. Entering the right credentials doesnt yield any information after that, though.

Trying the same with the p2pool daemon (127.0.0.1:9332) doesnt seem to give any output, btw.

Ente

Output from http://127.0.0.1:8332 after I enter the username and password is : {"result":null,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error"},"id":null}

At http://127.0.0.1:9332 sometimes give an output, other times it just takes forever to connect to.

I actually tried using 'python run_p2pool.py' as well as 'run_p2pool.exe' with appropriate rpc user name and password. Both have same problem.

So, what should be the output if I am able to connect to P2pool?

Yes. I get the password prompt, and entering the right credentials lets me past it.

Is there a recommended version of bitcoind to use with P2pool?
