Are you running it with the user who owns /home/bitcoin/

Have any file/directory been created under /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin ?

I would say it seems a permission issue.

Adriano

i think permissions are fine.

- there is a user "bitcoin" in group "bitcoin"

also, the litecoin stuff to compare, entrys in my passwd

Code:

bitcoin:x:1005:1005::/home/bitcoin:/bin/bash
litecoin:x:1006:1006::/home/litecoin:/bin/bash

and group

Code:

bitcoin:x:1005:
litecoin:x:1006:

/home

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 30 12:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Nov 29 16:39 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 bitcoin bitcoin 4096 Nov 30 21:21 bitcoin
drwxrwxr-x 13 woody users 4096 Nov 29 17:16 data
drwxr-xr-x 3 litecoin litecoin 4096 Nov 30 13:38 litecoin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 9 2012 woody -> data/home_woody/

- bitcoin/litecoin homes sit on /
- data is a raid5 volume, woody's home is symlinked on it.

/home/litecoin

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 3 litecoin litecoin 4096 Nov 30 13:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 30 12:56 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 litecoin litecoin 675 Apr 10 2010 .profile

/home/bitcoin

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 3 bitcoin bitcoin 4096 Nov 30 21:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 30 12:56 ..
-rw------- 1 bitcoin bitcoin 5 Nov 30 15:22 .bash_history

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bitcoin bitcoin 4286024 Nov 30 15:11 bitcoind_broken
-rw-r--r-- 1 bitcoin bitcoin 675 Apr 10 2010 .profile

running bitcoind_broken or non-stripped bitcoind executable as root OR user bitcoin (su - bitcoin -> ./bitcoind) make no difference.

Edit:
.bitcoin is NOT created if i run as root
.bitcoin IS created if i run as "bitcoin"

Code:
