ran as admin and still got "data directory specified in the command line, could not be found and could not be created"
but it's right there...pulling my hair out, thank you so much for your help though
Topic: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir - page 2. (Read 1736 times)
and to be more specific, if I use the double dash in that syntax armory states that it is using the default path as the specified path can not be created
That syntax is correct. I think you have to create the empty folder first so that it already exists when Armory starts. Otherwise, that may be a permissions issue.

you use the double dash before datadir...is that to indicate the endash or the emdash?
Neither. It is literally just two dashes (hyphens).I did try that as well, and that is certainly NOT what displays in firefox on my system on the troubleshooting page
–satoshi-datadir=_“_F:\Bitcoin\new\home\dir_”_ –datadir=_”_F:\Armory\new\home\dir_”_
what I see displayed is;
en or emdashsatoshi-datadir=underscore"underscorepathunderscore"underscoreen or emdashdatadir=underscore"underscorepathunderscore"underscore
Just copy and paste what I give you below and change what you need to
Code:
--satoshi-datadir="F:\Bitcoin\path" --datadir="F:\Armory\path"

thank you so much knightdk!
yes, I started out with a direct paste from the troubleshooting page and then edited in my specific paths
I believe I have the required quotes in place

To change the armory data directory, you need to start Armory with the option
Where is your path. If you have spaces in your path, surround the whole thing with quotes.
Code:
--datadir=
hey guys, I am probably an idiot, but I have been beating my head against this for 2 days.
my C: SSD is too small to hold the blockchain, I have been trying to follow the troubleshooting instructions...tried em dashes, en dashes, spaces for the underscores, whatever I do Armory just fills up the C: appdata folder and hangs when the drive is full.
OK, so I am an idiot.
can somebody please post the actual correct syntax that makes this work ??
yeah, the other system that used to work...bitcoind crashes when armory calls it, despite repeated complete deletions and redownloads...at my wits end
yes, my clocks are synced, thanks
please help
