Topic: Question about ports numbers (Read 183 times)
Stramyc, great thank you!
Yes, you can run multiple coins, specifying different -port (default 8333 for bitcoin) & -rpcport (defalt 8332).
If your daemon are using the same datadir (like Bitcoin Core & Bitcoin ABC, that are using $HOME/.bitcoin/ under linux/mac systems), you have to specify another one using -datadir.
Besides this, you're all good!

That is, they will not work on same port in any way?
If your first daemon is running on 8332/8333, and the 2nd on 9332/9333, obviously no, then won't work on the same ports.
The only way to use multiple daemon using the same ports is to use different IPs (you may want to run, say, X masternodes for testing on your own computer, you can use 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.4... and make sure to bind the port only on one IP, dedicated on IP by daemon. Note that if you're using 127.x.x.x IPs that they are internal - called loopback - IPs, and they are not reachable by any other servers/computers).
The following settings is working:
Code:
$ mkdir /tmp/btc-testnet{1,2,3}
$ /opt/bitcoin/bin/bitcoind -server -testnet -daemon -bind=127.0.0.2 -port=18333 -rpcbind=127.0.0.2:18332 -rpcallowip=127.0.0.2 -datadir=/tmp/btc-testnet1
Bitcoin server starting
$ /opt/bitcoin/bin/bitcoind -server -testnet -daemon -bind=127.0.0.3 -port=18333 -rpcbind=127.0.0.3:18332 -rpcallowip=127.0.0.3 -datadir=/tmp/btc-testnet2
Bitcoin server starting
$ /opt/bitcoin/bin/bitcoind -server -testnet -daemon -bind=127.0.0.4 -port=18333 -rpcbind=127.0.0.4:18332 -rpcallowip=127.0.0.4 -datadir=/tmp/btc-testnet3
Bitcoin server starting
$ ps auxw|grep testnet

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.2:18333 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 31588/bitcoind
Note that you need to specify both rpcbind & rpcallowip, or it won't work. (rpcbind will be ignored if rpcallowip doesn't work).
If you want to use multiple daemon on the same hosts using the same external ports, you'll have to have multiple external ips (failover ip) binded on this host.
Thank you so much!

Hello!
If I create a bitcoin-clone that works on 8333 port (not changing)
And than I run it both (bitcoind and bitcoinclond) on the same ubuntu-server as daemons - is that daemons will works correctly?
If not - what can I do? Only change a port-number? Or there are another options?
Thank you!
//This is a practical question. I need to run a lot of different altcoins on the same server.
