Hello everyone,
I post a message here cause I'm bothering to struggle too much with my bitcoind testnet and need some help to understand what's happening.
Before everything was working good. I updated the last version Bitcoin Core version v27.99.0-015ac13dcc96 and now a lot of issues with my testnet node...
So where to begin?
I'm on MacOS (LTS) and I'm using an external hard disk to store everything.
PATH=/Volumes/Crucial\ X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin
I first struggled with config cause my `bitcoind` can't apply [test] section I don't know why. So, I'm using ./testnet3/bitcoin.conf.
# Testnet bitcoin.conf
printtoconsole=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
testnet=1
[test]
rpcport=18332
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
I'm running the node with: bitcoind -datadir=/Volumes/Crucial\ X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin/testnet3 -txindex=1 -testnet
I copied blocks and indexes into ./testnet3/testnet3 ^^' cause apparently if ./testnet3 is the datadir it will create a testnet3 nested folder.
The cookie file is into ./testnet3, but when I launch bitcoin-cli it told me:
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet -conf=/Volumes/Crucial\ X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin/testnet3/bitcoin.conf help
error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and RPC password is not set. See -rpcpassword and -stdinrpcpass. Configuration file: (/Volumes/Crucial X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin/testnet3/bitcoin.conf)
This is the first problem quite important.
BUT a second problem: my wallets stored into ./testnet3/wallets AND ./testnet3/testnet3/wallets are not opened by the node:
2024-03-20T11:55:06Z Using wallet directory /Volumes/Crucial X8/bitcoin/Bitcoin/testnet3/testnet3/wallets
2024-03-20T11:55:06Z init message: Verifying wallet(s)…
2024-03-20T11:55:06Z Using /16 prefix for IP bucketing
It verifies wallets but nothing after...
If I launch the node in mainnet, from PATH (./) wallets are well opened. I don't uderstand why, what happen and no idea about how to solve it.
I can give any additional required details about this to try to solve it ^^'
Thank you in advance for your consideration
