Hello

I lost my bitcoin node. I have my rpc username/password. My wallet.dat and keys all backed up

I installed a new bitcoind instance to run a full node. I am trying to get my bitcoins

I have setup a new bitcoin.conf file w/ old rpc username and password
I imported my wallet.dat file to replace default

I cannot start the server. Could't connect to server: unknown (code -1)

Can someone please advise.

How do I get my wallet (bitcoins) -> what is the best way. If I have the wallet.dat, passphrase, privkeydump...

Thank you,
