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:
...
So, did you managed to overcome this error with your Litecoin clone coin? And if yes, how did you do it?
Cheers!
Hi. I did it by changing the policy field, magic number and script addr version in the "chain" database after the first error, then starting up Abe again and let it do all the blocks when i had corrected the values. the bug with abe is that it ignores what you put in the config file for policy. In my conf file i don't set policy at all. But the coin I tried with is not proof-of-stake, so I never had the error you show. Maybe there is a different method you need to find for PoS. Also I used blkfile method, not RPC because Abe refused to accept my "import-tx" when I used RPC setting. In fact it also refused my magic number and script address version because it didn't want to accept any escaping for hex values, unicode etc.. nothing worked so i had to put all those values into the database afterwards.
