Topic: ArmoryDB.exe stops incomplete (Read 295 times)
Delete dbLog.txt and you databases folder. Start ArmoryDB.exe from the command line, then start ArmoryQt.py. Do not run BitcoinQt during this. If it fails, post the fresh dbLog.txt
I'm surprised you didn't hear the explosion! Them babies be gone!
did you delete the old database folders for Bitcoin & for Armory?
Yes. Installed new 0.96.4 and new BTC Core as well.
Did you install 0.96.4?
I got a bit frustrated and removed both botcoin core and armory. Then I reinstalled both.
I imported my wallet but I cannot get the program out of Offline mode. Please help.
Thanks,
Frank

That's dated stuff, removed that feature some time around 2015 because it hurts privacy. You can get the latest Core from bitcoin.org (not bitcoin.com, that's a scam).
Strictly speaking, I'd argue bitcoincore.org is a better choice these days. bitcoin.org still works but I seem to recall something recently about concerns that bitcoin.org will become just another outlet for Roger's garbage. Whether or not it's true, bitcoincore.org will (hopefully) always be Core-friendly and up-to-date.
I saw a video or set of instructions (probably old) that said when Armory first runs, I will get an option to download Bitcoin Core from within the program. This has never happened.
What is the correct way to install Armory?
Listen, thanks everyone for all the help. You're great.

Armory Version : 0.96
Update Armory, delete the content of your databases folder (C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases) and try again.
Does this mean the problem is not related to core at all ?
May i ask how (and why) 'merkle root mismatch' and 'raw data does not match expected block hash' is caused by armory (and not by core) ?
Especially since there is an error when shutting down core ?
P.S. Feel free to ignore my question if you feel the answer would cost too much time / wouldn't be beneficial. Just asking out of curiosity.
@OP:
You can get the latest version of armory here: https://btcarmory.com/
It's hard to know where the issue originates from. Some of it could be poor resource management in multithreaded tasks on Armory's end, and some from LevelDB corruption at shutdown in Core. Both these issues have largely improved in later versions, but since he is using 0.96, I'm guessing he is also carrying a copy of the blockchain at least partly generated by some older version of Core. Therefor there's just no way to know who's the culprit, and isolating one potential source by upgrading Armory is the only sane way to get any clarity.
Chances are the shutdown error comes from 0.96 use of deprecated Core RPC calls (that interface received some changes this year). I'm treating it as a false positive for now.

lets me lead to the conclusion that something is wrong with your database (from bitcoin core).
Did you let core sync itself ? Or did you use/download a file from the internet to skip syncing 'manually' ?
Can you verify that core is synced correctly ?
To be honestly, i haven't seen those errors yet. So i can't really tell whats going wrong.
If i were you, i'd try to reindex core (again).
But to completely fix your problem, you might want to wait for goatpig (armory dev) to comment on this.
P.S. This made me smile:

First is dblog, second is armorylog
Thank you for this. I had to snip a couple things out of the armorylog to get it ti fit.

Usually, the transaction should appear instantly (AFAIK).
'Node offline' definitely is the cause. Armory should tell you why it is in offline mode (dashboard).
The best would probably be to upload your logs (named armorylog and dblog), so that we can take a look at it.

I reindexed the DBs and reinstalled the program. All is good as far as the first problem.
However, I just sent BTC from my wallet (about 15 minutes ago). That SEND transaction does not appear in the transactions tab, and to make sure I send it I tried to send a tiny amount to a diff address. Armory says there's no coin there, which is good.
How long does it take for the transaction to appear in the transaction list?
It also says "Node Offline" at the bottom of the wallet. Is this the problem? How do I tell the wallet to go back online?

Armory doesn't download the blockchain at all.
You need core up-to-date and synced in order to properly use armory.
In case you have core updated, synced and running and still have problems, post your logs on pastebin and provide us the URL.
The logs can be found in the armory data directory and are called armorylog and dblog.

The ArmoryDB.exe program works for several minutes then just stops before completing the blockchain download. I have tried many times.
Is there a method to download the blockchain or force the blockchain updating program to continue to run?
Thanks you,
Frank
