So... with the update my MasterNode is no longer working smoothly.
'Watchdog-Expired' stays on... I tried to put Sentinel on my VPS, following the directions, and it fails with 2 errors on debug.
They say that this error is not big deal... so I let it roll -- but it also goes to "New_Start_Required" every hour or so now.
So basically it is broken. I logged into my VPS and updated the Daemon... should I do anything else ?
Had it running smooth as butter for 2 weeks prior to the update situation.
Try restart alias from updated control wallet. And I recommend connecting to Discord, there everything goes quickly. Help and problem solving almost 24/7
Yes I am restarting it each time it says "New_Start_Required" but it keeps going back to that.
I will have to try Discord I suppose.
double check all the information in your config files, it will kick your node back to new start required if some of that information doesnt match or is wrong
Indeed. I checked them all again -- they are all correct as they have been since I ran the MN for ~2 weeks.
Today I wiped clean my VPS and re-installed everything... re-download block-chain... set up the config on the VPS and started it back up.
So far it seems to be okay other than the "watchdog" error which I will work on again later (I need to get Sentinel going from what I read).
VPS side the wallet is the right version & on the right block. The "masternode status" command indicates that the status is "masternode successfully started" -- so we will see if it sticks overnight.
Sounds to me like you are good if you see that "masternode successfully started", and yes the watch_dog thing comes from not having sentinel installed on your VPS. Everyone is saying you will still get rewards even if you have that so don't stress on it, but you will need it eventually.
There is a guide on how to install it in discord, but after you get sentinel going check here:
