when i put bitcoind, cursor is just flashing, it doesnt say its staring or anything.
Anyway I got it working, Ive used rpc user and pass exactly as in the guide and its says bitcoin server starting. Quick question.. how complex the password has to be? looks like it wasn't happy with my rpcpassword or rpcuser.
Also should I see anything else except bitcoin server staring? its been sitting on it for about 10 min.

when you run bitcoind from the command line does it say
With the underscore cursor flashing underneath it ?
If so bitcoind is running but in the fore ground.
use bitcoind -daemon
to put it the background, it will start syncing. bitcoind getinfo wont work straight away takes a couple of minutes specially on first run when its syncing.
Code:
blah@blah:~$bitcoind
blah@blah:~$Bitcoind server starting

my .conf file looks like below, and is located in .bitcoin folder.
server=1
deamon=1
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=1234
server=1
deamon=1
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=1234

Hi guys,
I need some help, im trying to setup my pool and got first problem. After creating bitcoin.conf file I should be able to start bitcoin by just typing bitcoind. when I type that nothing is happening, I get flashing cursor and and thast all. when i type bitcoind help I get cant connect to server. What am i doing wrong? I can confirm that .bitcoin folder is created, .conf file checked and is there with all entries.

And once the block number matches the last block here(http://blockchain.info/en), it's all done.
May 03, 2013, 03:31:31 AM
keep checking bitcoind getinfo
May 03, 2013, 02:54:47 AM
NOTE: The blockchain download will start now... You NEED to wait the full download BEFORE start P2Pool!!
how would i know its done?
April 26, 2013, 08:34:06 AM
it has only got 1.1 GB so can i setup it up for litecoins or some alts maybe or i guess i can find out how much for more ram.. how much
$8 per GB per mth
$8 per GB per mth
Is that ram or traffic?
At a guess 16 to 32 or maybe more depending on what performance you want?
April 26, 2013, 07:25:05 AM
it has only got 1.1 GB so can i setup it up for litecoins or some alts maybe or i guess i can find out how much for more ram.. how much would it need to do merged mining like the list Merged Mining (BTC/NMC/DVC/IXC/I0C) plus LTC, Linux )

Bitcoind needs atleast 2 gig of memory seeping on max connections settings. If bitcoind is running out of memory it will affect most pool software. How muh memory does the vps have ?
April 26, 2013, 03:17:51 AM
I don't think poolserverj has been updated to verdin 2 blocks ?
aarrrhhh crap not getting very far
April 26, 2013, 01:14:18 AM
I don't think poolserverj has been updated to version 2 blocks ?
April 25, 2013, 05:12:36 PM
Hi all thank you for all the help but i am giving up on p2pool to much crap too try and work through being open source i thought it would have been more user friendly as there is no real doc's to help work through issues or to help prevent them. As they say so sad to bad! 
A big thanks to tiktoc i think i will try poolseverj

How much memory does the server have ?
On guiminer, dare say its the settings you using in guiminer
When setting up the workers
the server from the drop down box should be others, then put your server name in host box change the port to p2pools port on your server which should be 9332
In the username box put your bitcoin addres in there and password time something random, choose your device and click start mining.
April 23, 2013, 02:07:28 AM
hi all thanks for the help so far yeap i did need it lol
I believe that the pool is working now from what i can make out from the code
but i am still having the same miner issues..
GUIMiner is still telling me..
Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC 0 2
Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC 1 2
Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC 2 2
No more backup pools left. Using primary and starting over.
yes once more i am lost as to what to do to get my miner mining.....
thank you

yeah, i have had some bizarre stuff occuring also
http://nogleg.com:9332/static/graphs.html?Day
or the weekly chart if mon 22nd midnight to 3 am has scrolled off already
this has happened on two occasions
it isnt a ddos attack because whoever is mining as "that other address" doesnt have 90%+ DOA shares... i was getting 0% ploss and normal latency to host as well
i think it may be a problem with stratum
