Topic: Am I right anticipating RPC trouble? (Read 773 times)
The blockchain is two thirds to being installed and its working now. Thanks for the post.
I have been having problems getting RPC to work on a certain VPS to the point where I just reinstalled everything and started over. I have another installation on a smaller VPS running testnet perfectly but somewhere something got messed up on the new one (which is intended for a full bitcoin version). I can't switch the working testnet on the working VPS over to full version because the harddrive isn't big enough.
I was able to get this new one to successfully run testnet and RPC this morning. I then changed the testnet=1 to testnet=0 in the bitcoin.conf file to switch over so now I have a long wait for the blockchain to download.
So there really isn't a problem that needs fixing right now that anyone can help me with other than to ease my nerves with hopefully a good word of encouragement or some actual facts because, after I switched to running regular bitcoin from testnet in this new installation, the freakin RPC stopped working again. I am hoping it is because the block chain hasn't finished downloading.
Can someone tell me that the incomplete blockchain is the issue so I can be at peace for the next 24 hours
or am I back to square one without RPC working again?
Thanks

Hmm. I think the RPC should work with an incomplete blockchain. I haven't tried it directly with the RPC, but I can use bitcoin-cli when the blockchain is syncing.
