It seems you are launching the explorer as root, to listen on port 401 which is privileged. Is this the correct behaviour you are seeking?
What is your host
setting in chain1.conf
? Did you set it to 0.0.0.0 so you can serve web pages to other computers on your local network?
Hi, Yes I'm running as root. I changed the chain1.conf file to enable host 0.0.0.0 but it didn't help. Any other option?
Thank you. Moshe
Do you see any error messages in the terminal when you try to connect using your browser? What version of CentOS are you running?
I ran a test serving the explorer over port 401 as root and it works fine (although this was on Ubuntu). Did you restart the explorer after changing host to 0.0.0.0 ?
If things still don't work, try changing the port from 401 to the default 2750, set host to 0.0.0.0, and launch the explorer as a normal user. Can you connect? What happens?
Hi, I created new user and installed multichain from scratch. Still it's not working and I don't have any log on console.
Please assist.
Thank you Moshe

Hi, I'm still blocking on this issue? How I can proceed?
Which version of CentOS are you using? If you look at params.dat, what value do you have for "protocol-version" ? What version of multichaind and multichain-cli are you running? From the command line enter "multichaind -version" and "multichain-cli -version" and you should see something like "build 1.0 alpha 19 protocol 10005".
Hi, CentOS release 6.7 (Final). I'm on alpha 19 see below.
Regards, Moshe
protocol-version = 10005 # Protocol version at the moment of blockchain genesis. [multichain@il-kmslinux2 multichain-explorer]$ multichaind -version

Are you using Python 2.6 which is bundled by default with CentOS 6.7? The explorer has now been updated so that it should run fine on this version of Python. I ran successful tests on CentOS 6.7 with Python 2.6.6 - on both ports 401 and 2750.
I'm running bundled Python 2.6 with latest explorer code without success.
Can you give me remote access to the server so I can see what's going on? If this is a machine on your local network or intranet, and you don't want to provide access, can you replicate the blockchain set-up on a cloud server / VPS somewhere? Please email me the details at simon@coinsciences.com. Thanks.
Resolved.
But what was the resolution? I'm having the same issue.
+1 Would like to know what is the resolution.
I think I solved it. In the .conf file where you specify 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost, there was another line a couple down below it that had "host=localhost." Apparently, if both are active in that file, the localhost (or lower one?) takes precedence. Deleting that is the answer.
Thanks. Doesn't look like thats the case for me, just the one host entry set to 0.0.0.0 - must be something else. It initially did work ok, I left it for a few hours running and when I checked back it was inaccessible. Nothing obvious in the logs and tried deleting it and restarting which didn't help.
The log below shows my request from the browser and a 200 response but browser said took too long to respond. Not sure if the 6241 code is significant.

The log gets flurries of these block_tx and commit messages intermittently.
Will write back if I get to the bottom of it.
Turned out to be a missing security group rule in AWS to allow 2750. It's working fine.
Hi, At the end the issue was duplicate host line in the configuration. Once it was removed and one line set to 0.0.0.0 everything works like a charm.
I have updated the README to mention that there should only be a single host entry and that you should check your host's firewall.
Hi, I installed multichainbroswer on Linux CentOS. Everything went fine and it's written that server is listening on the correct port (see status below). However I can't connect and load browser for this address. I checked and this is not port or blocking issue. I disabled IPtables and also loaded static page on this port successfully.
Any other option? Is there any log I can check to see what's the issue?
Thank you Moshe
