I've finally managed to get Abe to work with a standard Litecoin clone. I don't understand what the LtcScryptChain module is for when it's THE WRONG MODULE for Scrypt chains, it must use Sha256Chain policy............... why no mention of this in the bitcoin-abe docs?!?!?!?

Anyway too much work with this, it's a big mess, I will keep using RPC Ace instead only need to see so the blockchain is working and check hashrates etc, it's much simpler and easier than bitcoin-abe.

Hey roundrobin, I am also working with a Litecoin clone, and I noticed the same: if you use 'LtcScryptChain', blocks are loaded in the DB but only block 0 is displayed on the web. As you say, if you choose 'Sha256Chain' as policy, all blocks are loaded and displayed in the initial table, but if you click on any of the blocks it fails, showing a web with the message 'A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.' Console shows up this error:

Code:

So, did you managed to overcome this error with your Litecoin clone coin? And if yes, how did you do it?

Cheers!
