Look for a file called ppcoin.conf.

Here's an example for your reference: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=3.0

Thanks for the help guys. turns out the guide I was following didn't tell me I had to set up a config file, so I went ahead and created one and it works now

. Thanks.

So I understand it's an important part of the process, however I can't for the life on my understand how to get hold of my key.

I can access it easily enough with Bitcoin-Qt by going to the debug window and using the drumpprivkey command, however the PPCoin-Qt wallet doesn't have a debug window, and i've tried searching on Google and can't find anything. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.

I'm not on my computer with the ppcoin client installed so I don't have it in front of me but I believe this should work:

If you're in windows, open up a command prompt and go to the daemon directory within the directory where your ppcoin-qt client is installed. Run ppcoind.exe.

Now wait a minute or two and open a new command prompt and go back to the daemon directory. Type in "ppcoind dumpprivkey " where is the address for which you want the private key.

Give this a try and let me know if it works or not.

Thanks very much that appears to work, however it wont display my key as it says I have to set the rpcpassword in the config file. I took a look in the folder and I can't seem to find a file named 'configuration'. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find this? Sorry for questions that are probably simple ones.

You could always use a daemon, I suppose, if you can't get the command link banking to come up in PPC (or if it doesn't have one, not familiar with the client)
