Topic: help please, looking for a solution "Error getting work from bitcoind:" (Read 131 times)

I install vmware workstation on my laptop and I wanted to get p2pool working on it to get familiar with how it is run, so when I get home I can replicated it, but I came across this error, I have look low and hi, I can find an answer, please help!

litecoin.config file
server=1
deamon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=password123

rpcport=10332
port=10333

command to run p2pool
pypy run_p2pool.py --net litecoin --give-author 0

on attribute "-a address"  What address are they looking for my litecoin address? or an IP address?

and finally this is what I get and it and it repeats its self until ^C
