Usually that is a symptom something is wrong with your boot key.
Try setting
nis.shouldAutoHarvestOnBoot = false
Hey, jack. Good to see you again.
I changed that setting - now, when I mouse hover over the icon in system tray, it's all green: fully synced, NCC running. Right click, open in browser: NIS not available. Can't login. Stoner21 from IRC hoped you'd be available to solve this one for me (he said something about a similar issue when he began running nodes)
Appreciate the help - I'd really like to get this thing up and running!
Hi No worries. it is probably something simple.
When you say the icon in the system tray is all green, do you mean on the VPS or on the local machine?
If it is green in the VPS then you should be able to connect to it.
Run NCC on the local computer.
Make certain that the IP for the VPS is the same that you have in "Settings" in the NCC client running on the local computer. (sometimes if you shutdown the vps, amazon will give you a new ip when starting up again)
If the NCC client then shows green at the top of the page you are good to go.
