Topic: pushpool - open source pool software - page 8. (Read 120198 times)

Ive had ago at installing this in ubuntu 10.04 on my vps. Can't get it to install libmemcached.

Would be very nice with a decent install guide! (I would write one if I got it install and working..)
Or can anyone elaborate on how they managed to install it?

Pushpool itself isn't that intricate; it does most of the work by itself. You mostly need someone that knows their way around php/mysql (or the other databases used) to create a web frontend.

subscribed! Any pushpool experts want to consult with helping someone start a pool?

Depending on the database. Are you using mysql? If so, is it on? Since pushpoold need's to get the workers from somewhere.

Thanks, I got it running. The only problem is when anyone try's to connect it comes up as Wrong Username & Password so I started trollin the IRC chat all day trying to convince anyone that i am typing in the wrong username and password. So it obviously isn't the wrong username and password if i copy and paste. It was a simple username and password like --user=a --pass=b that was it, theres no way you can type that in wrong.

 Any suggestions as to why my miner is having trouble connecting even tho pushpool will report "[382983464] Initialized"?

PushPool looks interesting... Gonna get a VPS tonight and try it out.

I take it that push pool works on Ubuntu?

That isn't an error.

So I guess i was using the git file and not the tarball so i got the tarball and now im experiencing this error after executing "make install"

In order to optimize. our_result and upstream_result must be enum 'y','n'.

Yes Jannson ./configure;make;make check; make install flawlessly

Not trivially, but it's doable.  The solution logged gives you prevhash, which allows you to locate block-1.

Patches welcome

If you're using a PHP frontend, you can do what I've done with my pool:

Changes to pushpool:
  1) On startup of pushpoold, run a query on a new table [found_blocks for example], which contains an ID# for each block that has been found, auto increment.  Get the highest ID#, increase it by one, store it as a global variable in pushpool.
  2) Change the sharelog query to include an ID# in the shares table.
  3) When it checks a share and finds upstream_result='Y', increment the block ID counter in pushpool.

PHP Frontend:
  1) Cron script executing your PHP script every minute (or 5 mintues, 30, your preference), which polls bitcoind for a list of block generations (listtransactions, search for category: "generate".
  2) Get the transaction ID from the most recent block generations, and check if those transaction IDs are in the found_blocks table.
  3) If they aren't, create a new entry in the found_blocks table, and include the transaction ID from bitcoind for that block.  You can now associate all the shares from that block with the transaction ID because they will use the same block_id as your found_blocks table does.
  4) Have a confirmations field on your found_blocks table, that gets updated when the script executes.

  Obviously this is just the quick and dirty implementation to get you started, you'll need to add security checks for invalids (category: "orphan"), and make sure it doesn't have a hiccup if two blocks are found between the checks.

I did as well without problems...were you able to './configure;make;make install' without any problems (assuming linux)?

This is the error i got when i ran "Make" after downloading the Master pool.

I manually installed jannson-2.0.1

Any suggestions?

Wondering if there is a way to get the generation transaction id from the solution logged to SQL where the upstream result is true. That is, we find a block but I then need a handle to the transaction so I can monitor whether it gets the 120 confirmations.

Are there plans to piggyback the longpoll update to changed midstates or will we always be needing an external monitor to trigger longpolls?

btw, just wanted to point out that there is a 130btc bounty for a pushpool web front end (managing users, payouts, graphing)

Is there a trick to getting debugging output from the database operations?

I'm not getting anything in the shares table, and I can't figure out why.  I made the table with the fields in the default statement, but still get nothing.

It looks like applog() should be writing the mysql error somewhere, but I can't find it in any logs or on the console (STDERR/STDOUT).
