1. bitcoind.conf
Enter your bitcoind username and password here, on a single line, separated by a space.

any idea where the bitcoind files are on deb? Do I need to get the username and password from bitcoind?Enter your bitcoind username and password here, on a single line, separated by a space.

You need to create a file named bitcoind.conf *in the same directory as Multipool.pl*, containing *in one single line*, *separated by a space* the username and password you need to use to connect to the local bitcoind instance.
Much of the confusion comes from Multipool.pl naming that config file the same name as the one used by bitcoind
Your "real" bitcoind.conf (the one that controls which username and password bitcoind is to accept) is usually found in ~/.bitcoin/bitcoind.conf and the wiki explains how to put info there.
Example:
Code:
$ ls Multipool.pl # we are in the same directory where Multipool.pl is
Multipool.pl
$ cat ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
server=1
rpcuser=myusername
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
rpcport=8332
gen=0
$ cat bitcoind.conf
myusername mypassword
$
Multipool.pl
$ cat ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
server=1
rpcuser=myusername
rpcpassword=mypassword
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
rpcport=8332
gen=0
$ cat bitcoind.conf
myusername mypassword
$
as you see above, the "local" bitcoind.conf needs to contain the username and password from the "real" bitcoind.conf, separated by a space.
Thanks for the info and examples - appreciate it
