alright so I've tried reindexing and created a new worker
also confirmed I was connected using wget however its still not letting me mine for some reason. I also tried restarting biblepay and restarting with the conf edited but no luck. Where is this other directory you speak of? right now I'm in the biblepay folder in usr (src). How do I cd to the dir you are talking about?
Aha! Thats probably it, its probably the execution user is different than the working dir (maybe).
So heres one way to try:
Go back to linux command prompt.
cd ~/.biblepaycore
nano biblepay.conf
modify this file to have gen=0
debug=true
debugmaster=true
exit nano
rm debug.log
Then start biblepay, and while it is running:
cd ~/.biblepaycore
cat debug.log
Verify the timestamps in the log are current.
Also, verify 'getmininginfo' shows biblepaygenerate=false
If these two things are true, then just edit the biblepay.conf file again with the pool info, and try again.
We need to ensure setting gen=0 says biblepaygenerate=false, then setting gen=1 makes getmininginfo say biblepaygenerate=true, then we know you are affecting the correct config file.
(The testnet config file is at ~/.biblepaycore/testnet3/biblepay.conf to answer your question but you wont need that).
