Topic: Request for help using regest (Read 559 times)
You need to first start Bitcoind or bitcoin-qt in regtest mode. Start bitcoin-qt with the server option. When doing so, make sure that bitcoin.conf has an rpcuser and rpcpassword set. It doesn't matter what they are, as long as they exist.
I'm attempting to use regtest as in this tutorial:
https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-examples
When I issue this:
bitcoin-cli -regtest generate 101
I get a failure:
'you must set rpcpassword= in the configuration file:
/home/ubuntu/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf'
I add that file and instead get the error:
'incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed)'
Do I need particular rpcuser/rpcpassword values in order to use regtest? Any suggestions as to what I may have missed?
Thanks
