i'm not sure i understand the problem.
you're able to connect using vnstat and your node is being seen on bitnodes.
the rpc gui isn't working yet but that can take some time. but make sure you enter the rpcuser and rpcpassword into the *.py file from the *.conf file Morblias reference above.

What it means if i see this message with bitcoind getinfo?

i've seen that a coupla times. do this:
Code:
sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen it_IT it_IT.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen xx_xx xx_XX.UTF-8 ...
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

You can check your RPCUSER/PASS at
You need those to match what is in the btc-update.py script.
Code:
vim ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

you should add that to your tute. i don't remember it being in there.

Also, while ssh'ed into it, you can type this to view what bitcoind is doing (current connected peers, block height, etc)
I am not sure if that https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/ address is showing correct or not, but if so, you need to upgrade bitcoind. That shows you are on 0.8.1, the current version is 0.9.1

I have try to setup and my cloud server but i dont know that is working. I have done everything in the guide but i dont think i have setup my server. In vnstat i dont see any bitcoin traffic
http://69.12.86.115/vnstat/
how can i see that bitcoin node is runing? And what i have to set in RPCUSER, RPCPASSWORD, IP Address to /usr/local/bin/btc-update.py? My server password and adress or something else? Thx for any advice
edit: ok i see trafic now in vnstat i have change the eth0 with venet0 but i cant see bitcoin node interface. I have look with top and bitcoind is runnign and here when i write my adress
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/
i see a green quote with 69.12.86.115:8333 /Satoshi:0.8.1/ but i dont know what that means
http://69.12.86.115/vnstat/

created 2 nodes in US using WLS deal. Glad to donate for Bitcoin network.
Yeah you need the entire blockchain. At the moment I believe it is around 20GB. The VPS I get have 30+ GB on them. I also look for ones with at least 1GB RAM with vSwap.
Damn, it was like 2 GB last time I bothered to look.
when you think about it, $19/yr is an amazing price.
got it running 
thanks Morblias for excellent instructions.

What is the hardware requirements for running a full node?
Don't you need to download the whole blockchain if you run a full node? Then my box is out of the question since it's just 5GB HDD.

I modified my documents so it is more user friendly. I only install bitcoind, bitcoinrpc, apache2, and vnstat (vnstat really isn't necessary, but I like it to monitor bandwidth)

That looks great, I would expect it to use a lot more CPU.
Thanks for helping people set these up.
