i cannot get it to work firstly i was able to use bitcoind in my vps (locally) but when i added rpcbind and allowip to my bitcoin.conf i cannot even use bitcoin-cli its giving me this error: error: Authorization failed: Incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword while I'm using the same exact user pass as in my config
curl is giving me empty response on port "8333" and connection refused on port 8332
here is my bitcoin.conf [stripped ip and user/pass]
(i was using this one before when it was working locally)
listen=1
server=1
rpcport=8332
prune=600
maxconnections=12
maxuploadtarget=20
rpcuser=XXXXX
rpcpassword=XXXXX
daemon=1
keypool=10000
now When I'm trying to get it to work on my remote server with this config
