So right now the way to get armory to run is to disable it running core in the options, have core running then start armory?

Fixed in 0.95.1

Thanks so much. Have one more quick question.  If I do a "receive" and enter in a comment, when that address gets a deposit the comment doesn't show up in the comments section.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
It's a known bug.

Getting error "DB version Mismatch use another dbdir"  Any help is appreciated.
Go to the armory data directory (os dependent) and delete the "databases" folder. Then start Armory.

So I have the same problem as PeZ.

However, I'll try to log into C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Armory and delete the databases folder.

Then when I boot up Armory, it does the wallet consistency check, Initialising Bitcoin Engine bar is full green, and scan transaction history says 0% and 1 second.

I do see the databases folder being created, but there aren't any files in it. I'll leave it here for a couple of minutes and see if it starts to boot
Stop Armory and open up task manager. Make sure that any process with the name "ArmoryDB" is killed. Then try again.

hi there,

reddit pointed me to the updated armory, so glad it's still going! I've been trying to upgrade from .93 and bitcoin .11 to the latest version .95.1 and the latest core 13.1

I've had a problem whereby it's trying to scan the blockchain (I know it's up to date), and saying 1 second on scanning transactions and not going further. I tried to rescan and rebuild databases, and nothing happens when I reboot (although I did get the pop up welcome message).

I'm going to try and reinstall completely to see if that fixes it, but if I'm doing something obviously wrong, please let me know.

Thanks

First, you need to delete the entire folder named "databases" inside of armory's datadir. Then try again.

If you do not see any of the progress bars moving and stuck at 1%, that usually means that the ArmoryDB isn't running or crashed. Stop Armory and make sure that there are no processes named ArmoryDB running. Then try again.

I tried doing a clean install of 0.95.1 and follow the post above, but no luck. Still stuck on build databases and doesn't build the database.

It only works if I start bitcoin-qt and Armory separately.
Do you see the progress bar move at all or does it stay stuck at something like 1%?

Bitcoind is running in the background, but ArmoryDB isn't.

I change the setting in Armory to not have bitcoind running. I start bitcoin-qt, let it sync, then run Armory. ArmoryDB command window immediately pops up and connects to bitcoin-qt. It manages the Armory database then it becomes fully functional.

This might be just a problem with the progress bars only, I've experienced something similar.

Does the process (building Db/tx scan) fill all the progress bars convincingly until it gets to the transaction scan stage? If yes, I would leave it to continue despite how unconvincing the cosmetics are, they're literally just that, cosmetic. The best way to follow the progress reliably is to view the dbLog.txt file continuously (tail -f if you're using Linux).

Just did the same upgrade.  You have to remove the database directory again.  It stays small (but not quite as small as in 0.94.1, although still tiny compared to the bad old days).

I then tried updating to 95.0 from 94.1, but I get the same spinning initializing wheel.

IIRC, you need to clear the DB again when upgrading to 0.95, like you did when upgrading to 0.94. Try that if 0.95.1 (which should be out very soon) doesn't fix your woes.

The good news is I successfully upgraded from 93.3 to 94.1.
It failed at first, then I read a blurb to rename the ...\armory\databases directory first for any upgrade from 93.3
Then the upgrade worked.

AND, it saved me 85GB of SSD space  Shocked after I moved the renamed directory to an archive drive.

I then tried updating to 95.0 from 94.1, but I get the same spinning initializing wheel.
Back down to 94.1 for now.
I'll wait for 95.1 to see if that resolves the upgrade problem from 94.1.

Visdude, thanks for the suggestions.  I did those steps, but to no avail.  Same endless spinning wheel.

Achow, thanks for your help, but I think i'll just wait on 0.95.1.  
If it doesn't work, I'll move on to a different wallet.
I just don't have time for endless debugging.
