I dont see any problems.. so it's probably on your client side

Now that's works with rpcallowip=*.*.*.*, but don't with PHP and JSON.

Edit: Now it's ok since I explain my problem on the IRC channel of my hosting provider, by miracle the server is reachable on port 8332 (I don't give the IP of my server!). Awesome.

Even I was able to connect to your server

Code:

progre55@progre55:~$ curl http://user:[email protected]:8332/
{"result":null,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error"},"id":null}

well it means you dont have any rules..
btw, try telneting to your machine from outsite

Code:

telnet host port

and see if it accepts connections. If not, then there's definitely a firewall somewhere outside your own machine.

then to check if you have any port restrictions on your current machine

Code:

iptables -L

with more info on iptables, refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo

other than that, make sure you're not behind a corporate network, or amazon clouds or anything =)

If you are on a windows box, go to control panels and firewall settings. You will likely have to create a rule for that port. If you are on a linux box or other, i cant help you. Google is your friend for that.

Do you have a firewall blocking incoming 8332 connections?

How I can verify that please?

No, that's correct. Make sure the IP address you are connecting *from* is allowed in the conf file.

Yes. The IP address in the conf file is correct. I added the server daemon "outside" IP in the conf file.

Quote

rpcallowip=client IP address
rpcallowip=server daemon IP address

Quote

admin@daemon:~$ curl http://user:pass@server daemon IP:8332/
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

I don't know what to do now.. Sad

Show us the 'netstat' line that shows the LISTENING socket on port 8332. Is it bound to 127.0.0.1?

Quote

netstat
tcp 0 0 *:8332 *:* LISTEN

Quote

netstat -an
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8332 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

That's wrong? How I can modify that?

Hello,

I have a dedicated server with a bitcoin daemon running somewhere on Internet. I try to reach it on another dedicated server (with JSON and PHP), the page loading for a while and nothing happen.

My bitcoin.conf file :

Quote

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=client server IP
server=1
rpcport=8332

I launch daemon with ./bitcoind -daemon. ./bitcoind getinfo works.

curl http://user:[email protected]:8332/ works.

Quote

admin@daemon:~$ curl http://user:[email protected]:8332/
{"result":null,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error"},"id":null}

curl http://user:pass@server daemon IP:8332/ don't work.

Quote

admin@daemon:~$ curl http://user:pass@server daemon IP:8332/
curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

Anybody can help me please?
