I'm trying to run bitcoind on a Raspberry Pi 3 but I'm stuck on an error. The raspberry has a Hdd for storage with a fully indexed blockchain that was synced on my laptop and than copied to the Hdd (txindex=1).
When calling the log file I get this message:
Side note: I also did a reindex-chainstate=1 afterwords, but I still got this issue.
transaction index disabled is logged when the txindex=1 or -txindex flag is not set. If it was once indexed, and you don't pass that flag, then bitcoind will prevent you from accidentally rebuilding the database without the indexes unless you explicitly tell it to with -reindex. Check your bitcoin.conf file and the startup script. Alternatively, try adding -txindex to /etc/systemd/system/bitcoind.service where bitcoind is called:
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind -txindex -daemon -conf=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -pid=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/bitcoind.pid
Bitcoin server starting. But when calling the debug file, it still gives "LoadBlockIndexDB: transaction index disabled". Could it be something with RPC connections because this also doesn't work when calling for `bitcoin-cli' commands

ps | aux grep bitcoind, so RPC commands won't work either.

systemctl status bitcoind.service, I get a green message Active (running). So I assume it's running?

sudo systemctl restart bitcoind.service? You can try running it directly (not as a service) until you get it working. bitcoind -txindex -daemon
