I have bitcoin testnet3, mainnet, regtest both running in the same server, I can interactive with them by curl, because the ports are different, but when comes to bitcoin-cli how can I specific the network I want interactive with?

I get below error:

$ bitcoin-cli -regtest setgenerate true 101  # I want use regtest
Error: Invalid combination of -regtest and -testnet.

    Does your bitcoin.conf file contain a line testnet=1 ?

  • yes, for testnet testnet=1 is on

  • So bitcoin-cli is combining the options from the command line and the config file, and sees both which are in conflict with eachother.

You can pass the -rpcport flag to bitcoin-cli to specify which node to connect to when running multiple on the same machine.
