I have a bitcoind daemon running on one server and trying to connect it from another one for the last couple of days but always i get connection time out error.
Here is the stuff i've excluded so far, please help me to see what angle i'm missing
- the client server IP is added both in host server firewall whitelist and bitcoin.conf file (rpcallowip=)
- both ports 8332 and 8333 are allowed in the host server firewall and i can see the bitcoind listening to them (netstat -lnp)
- it's not localost connection so https is a must as i understood from the docs. I'm using self generated certificates, here are the settings used
rpcssl=1
rpcsslcertificatechainfile=cs.crt
rpcsslprivatekeyfile=cs.key
cs.csr and cs.pem files were generated as well but i suppose the above 2 are the ones i need set?
anway all 4 are in both .bitcoin and bitcoin dirs (i suppose it looks in ".bitcoin" only dir? but wanted to make sure)
- the only onther settings i have in the conf file are:
server=1
rpcuser=someuserhere
rpcpassword=somepasshere
everything else is default
so where else i should look?
