Yes the block chain has been downloaded. Yes it is running. I've run killall -v bitcoind and it kills the process.
How do I open 8341 port up?
Has bitcoind downloaded all of the blockchain yet? ./bitcoind getblockcount (should be around 133,297 right now)
Is bitcoind running? ps aux | grep bitcoind
Have you opened up the ports on your machine so that you can access port 8341 from the external miner?
How do I open 8341 port up?
Below is all of my code and commands that I run but I can't seem to understand how to connect my phoenix miner to my server that is running pushpoold. The output that I get from my phoenix miner is Problems connecting to RPC. Am I supposed to connect with the port that is in bitcoin.conf (that wouldn't make sense in setting up a pool though).

Have you opened up the ports on your machine so that you can access port 8341 from the external miner?
Well where do you host your server?
Usually you need to open it in your firewall like iptables or something.
Or perhaps you need to contact your web host.
On amazon ec2 it's as simple as adding it to your security group you are working with.
Can anybody else comment on FpgaMiner's complaints earlier? Because I am noticing the same thing...
I experienced an odd problem with pushpool.
I got it setup, and accepting shares against a bitcoin --testnet client setup correctly with RPC. So, everything appeared to work. I even found a few blocks, and those submitted fine.
However, at a difficulty of 38, and >1000 shares, it had only found 2 blocks.
That's either really bad luck, or something was broken.
So I tried pointing the miners at bitcoind directly, and they found 3 blocks in a few minutes (as expected for the hashrate).

I have 300Mhash/s aimed at my pushpool server and I can see that my miners are connected and working. The "shares" MySQL table is increasing steadily.
The bitcoind client is running in testnet mode.
blkmond blkmond.conf is running
I have only found 1 block (I have just 1 Y in my "upstream_result" MySQL Column for my worker) after mining for about 60 minutes at 700Mhash/s.
According to our favorite website http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php ... 700MHash/s at a difficulty level of 45 I should be finding 15,645.98 BTC per day. Or about 312 blocks of 50 BTC per day or about 13 blocks per hour. Is there something wrong with my math? Why have I only found 1 block so far?
What are "shares" anyways? Are they not simply difficulty 1 proofs? If the difficulty level is at 45 then theoretically shouldn't I find a block every 45 shares created? There are 1200 shares sitting in my MySQL DB so if that was true then I should have about 26 blocks by now, no?
Now you can message me for help too (hopefully!)
