After getting abe set up and running, I tried querying it, eg: ...:2750/chain/Bitcoin .. but looking at the abe output, I notice every page load - abe was opening the blk00000.dat file rather than using MySQL [which I have configured abe to use].

My abe.conf looks like this;

dbtype MySQLdb
connect-args {"user":"test","db":"abe","passwd":"test"}
upgrade
port 2750
host localhost

I have checked the 'abe' MySQL database and the data is in there, I am just unable to figure out why abe isn't querying that and instead opening the blk00000.dat file. . . which is making every request I make to abe unbearably slow.

So my question is: How to make Abe query MySQL instead of reading from the bitcoin block.dat for each request ?

I'm still loading the blockchain into my database, but are you starting Abe with the --config option pointing to your configuration file?

See line 49 in https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/blob/master/README-MYSQL.txt

  • Yes I specify the absolute path to the config file when firing up abe, still nothing working :(
