Topic: /server and related doesn't work anymore with version 5 (Read 881 times)
The new Qt-based client does not include an RPC client anymore, indeed. It can still function as an RPC server (-server), but for the client you need bitcoind.
Ok, the -server command itself is working, but i need to use bitcoind for the backupwallet command, i'm pretty sure in previous versions i could use the main executable for all the commands...
Single dash? Isn't that supposed to be only for single letter commands? And isn't it /server? It was working with the slash before the update...
nope... -server -daemon -datadir, etc.

I need to start Bitcoin with the --server commandline option
"--server" never worked. "-server" worked and continues to work as far as I can see.
(I'm using WinXP if that matters)
I need to start Bitcoin with the /server commandline option so the batch file i created to do scheduled backups of my wallet can issue the backup command in order to safely obtain a copy of the wallet (don't wanna risk it trying to copy the original while it is being written to and ending up with a corrupt backup)
(edited to fix the command line, i am using the slash, i just got mixed up while writing the post originally)
