ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Anyone know why I am getting the following error message?
Other possible relevant info:
Config file location
/home/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Config file content:
server=1
testnet=0
txindex=1
rpcuser=[username redacted]
rpcpassword=[password redacted]
bitcoind location:
/home/bitcoin-0.19.1/bin/bitcoind
OS:
Ubuntu 18.04 (fully uptodate)
bitcoin-core download location:
sudo wget https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.19.1/bitcoin-0.19.1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
login username:
bitcoin
folder/file permissions (recursive) for bitcoind and bitcoin.conf:
777
After a few seconds, bitcoind automatically stops without warning and allows me to start it again, only to automatically stop again. How do I figure out why it is not starting, or why it stops after a second or 2? When it stops, it does not show any error messages in the terminal. I only know something is wrong if I run a bitcoin-cli command, as seen in the screenshot above.
UPDATE ONE:
./bitcoind
output below:
bitcoind
without-daemon
. Any idea why that error message is being generated?
