And electrum-server is started correctly?

I have no experience with EC2 Sad

I'm starting it and stopping it with the 'start' and 'stop' scripts in ~/src/electrum/server, and seems to run fine and connect when I run a local electrum client. It brings up the transactions and the balances just fine.

What are these two parameters from the electrum.conf server file?

host=localhost (?? Is this correct? Since this is the Electrum server, then isn't this correct?)

password=secret (Huh This bugs me a lot. Do I just make something up for the password, or is this supposed to somehow be used?)

From 'electrum.conf' file:

[server]
host = localhost
#report_host =                                                                                                                                 
native_port=50000
stratum_tcp_port = 50001
stratum_http_port = 8081
stratum_tcp_ssl_port = 50002                                                                                                                   
stratum_http_ssl_port = 8082                                                                                                                   
#report_stratum_tcp_port = 50001                                                                                                               
#report_stratum_http_port = 80                                                                                                                 
#report_stratum_tcp_ssl_port = 50002                                                                                                           
#report_stratum_http_ssl_port = 443                                                                                                             
password = secret

For me, host is set to electrum.be:
Code:
host = electrum.be
Electrum.be resolves to the public ip of my server. In your case, this will resolve to 127.0.0.1 (via /etc/hosts). So this is 1 problem.

Password should be set to the password of bitcoin.conf.
