I'm running pushpool0.5.1 and have a problem with it. The problem is that my pushpool is working for about 15min-3hours and everything looks normal, but after some time when I try to mine and I get this error: Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC . Pushpoold process seems like working as allways. But after killing and running pushpoold again everything works normally...
My VPS is with ubuntu-11.04-x86 and 768 Mb of RAM. Bitcoin client is in another server (windows vps).
Maybe someone knows how to fix this problem?
Yeah switch to PSJ it was the only way I was able to resolve that issue. The people here know how but they will not tell you they need to keep an upper hand.
I plan to put an end to this, I'm going to publish everything I find and there is a lot I have learned they are hiding.
But if I where to guess at the problem you need the 4diff patch for bitcoind that should clear it up for you. Also you should not even bother trying to mine with out that patch as it cleans up duplicate work.
Finally, here is another tip pushpool is not production ready code it's example code that just functional enough for you to rewrite it for your pool.
Good luck dude this space is cut throat centralization of mining and it has to to stop because the next phase will be... Consolidation of pools after the next bitcoin bubble or when bitcoin hit supper lows as all bubbles go from WAY over valued to WAY undervalued.
