Try replacing the second rpcuser with rpcpassword instead.


Hopefully that should do it.

UPDATE:

When I connect using Bitcoin-qt under Windows port 8332 opens! So it's not a port forwarding issue.

Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong using the daemon (bitcoind)

I simply cannot get port 8332 to open for me when using BITCOIND both under Ubuntu and Windows.

The bitcoin.conf file reads as follows:

server=1
rpcuser=hello1
rpcuser=12345
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=8332
gen=0

It is located in ~/.bitcoin and %appdata%\bitcoin for Ubuntu and Windows, respecitvely.

I've opened a port forward for TCP/UDP 8332-8333 on router.

What on Earth am I doing wrong? I need to access BITCOIND via RPC to run a Ruby script and no matter what I do, I simply cannot get port 8332 to open (and hence get RPC to work).
