In /home/jacob/.armory/, create a file named armorydb.conf. In there add this one line and save:

Code:

satoshi-datadir=/media/jacob/.bitcoin/Bitcoin/blocks

Try again and let me know.

Doesn't look like you told Armory where to look for your custom Bitcoin data folder.

In Files > Settings, second second section from the top, set your custom folder and try again. Make sure there are no zombie instances of ArmoryDB first.

Thanks,

The path in settings is correct but I have been unable to restart armory after changing it. That was because the port was in use because of a zombie instance. So I shut that down and restarted and get this

I don't understand why it's trying to use the home directory. Is it because bitcoind is installed on my SSD and the data is on my HD?

Hi everyone,

It's the first time I have tried to install Armory. I'm also pretty new to linux as well.

Basically after installing everything Armory just does nothing and remains offline - the loading bars for database never moves.

I have read many posts concerning instances of this problem and I've been trying all day to get my installation working.

I think it may have something to do with where bitcoin core is installed. I have a SSD with my OS on it, which is where armory is installed. Bitcoin Core is on a 1TB internal hardrive. I called the partition .bitcoin.

I have Bitcoin core installed and 100% synced.

I installed Armory 0.96.5 using the instructions from https://btcarmory.com/docs/building/.

I read the pathing instructions on that site and set the paths in Armory's settings. I also used the command

-datadir="/some/custom/path"

in bitcoin core's command line.

The logfile is here: https://pastebin.com/k7gy9pze

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jacob
