Topic: Armory 0.96 is out - page 3. (Read 13833 times)

Thanks, that worked.

Delete this folder and rebuild the DB from scratch:

D:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases

How do I change that? BitcoinQT says it is up to date, and Armory says it is connected, but the blocks number doesn't change. A recent log is here: https://pastebin.com/y4RHwDLZ. It has "blkfile dir: D:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks", which is what I have set Bitcoin-qt.exe to use, and when I go to that folder I can see files with recent timestamps, so I think Armory is using the same folder as Bitcoin.

That's my error then

Downloading @ https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.14.0/ and https://bitcoin.org/bin/block-chain/

False positive, ignore it.


Wait what? You're supposed to download the chain there before running Armory.

Using running cmd with admin rights. This is just odd.

Ran Armory Software and this came out

This is off, it's not finding any block data. Double check your paths and make sure your user has read access to the satoshi-datadir.

Now let it sit for a while? It says something so I know when to open Armory?

Thanks a lot!

Then just start the DB on its own. From the command prompt:


You can start the client after the DB is spawned.

I had fixed that as well but problem persists.

This should be --satoshi-datadir="F:\Crypto\Armory\core\blocks" btw, assuming Core gets F:\Crypto\Armory\core\ as its datadir.

It seems it's not

2017-06-26 10:54:01 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:200 - DB error: C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

I'm starting the software with the link in the previous reply

It opened well now using this command line.


That's now preparing the DB. How can I know it's actually doing this in order to avoid waiting without it being doing nothing. Thanks.

Somehow the path is in unicode, for whatever reason. I have no idea why, first time I see this. Maybe your local is doing weird things to the path?

Read this tutorial and set your paths in the config files instead of the shortcut target:

https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing

Updated for the version you suggested and it's now loading properly (without that db spawn error).

Used this command:
F:\Crypto\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe --datadir="F:\Crypto\Armory\user" --satoshi-datadir="F:\Crypto\Armory\core"

How can I change that last path to another drive? I believe that's the error, no?

Also, how do I keep track of that progress into the filesystem?

Thanks.

It means the the satoshi-datadir either does no exists or your user does not have read access to that folder.

At any rate, consider updating to this:

https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.0.3-testing

It's not running since it says it cant spawn the db..

Changed a few things to test this out.

Running Program with shortcut target:

F:\Crypto\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe --datadir="F:\Crypto\Armory\user" --satoshi-datadir="F:\Crypto\Armory\core"

When I run, it replies, Armory faield to Spawn the DB! Continues in offline, and all this because I dont have space into C drive.

Why's this invalid data path?!

This is not a prerequisite to bootstrap the DB since 0.95. As a matter of fact, turning off your node while bootstrapping is a good way ease things up on slow PCs.


Post your logs, use pastebin.

Look at Task Manager if Bitcoinqt.exe is running. If not try to close Armory and all related processes via Task manager (especially ArmoryDB.exe) and launch Armory again. Bitcoinqt.exe must be running when Armory builts DB

Hi Thanks for the reply. I do believe it's not such matter since it's a brand new install and I'm running the script with the correct letter (F).

"F:\Utils\Crypto Miners\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="F:\Utils\Crypto\Armory" --satoshi-datadir="F:\Utils\Crypto\Bitcoin"

I've even tried to change directories and it returns "cannot spawn db". Is there a way to solve that as well? :/
