What is Siad - ERROR 404 #77

Closed mdl6923 closed 6 years ago

mdl6923 commented 6 years ago

I am new to this and unfamiliar as to what Siad refers to. Is it the Sia-UI, the Sia GPU miner, or something else? I am trying to mine and I am fully synchronized in Sia-UI. When I type "miner" into the terminal it returns the message "Could not get miner status: API call not recognized: /miner"

When I open the miner application it just says ERROR 404 over and over. There were other users reporting the same issue, and someone responded to the issue with the following:

"2) Make sure you have a recent version of Sia installed and running. You must run Sia with the miner module enabled, which is not enabled by default in Sia-UI. To run with the miner module, use siad's -M flag and specify the m module. See siad modules."

This brings me to my original question... what is siad referring to? What are siad modules? How do I specify the -M flag? Any help with this is much appreciated.

I'm also new to this. I started yesterday downloading the chain and it was completely downloaded in the morning. I have the HTTP ERROR 404 too. I figured out that there is a siad and siac binary in <YOURSIAFODLER>/resources/app/Sia. There you can run the daemon siad with specific modules. IMHO the siad call should look like this ./siad -M gctwm. At least the miner started to complain HTTP ERROR 404 - check that the wallet is unlocked. I couldn't figure out how to start the client (siac) to unlock the wallet so I started the Sia-UI again. But then unfortunately the client is uninitialized and has to redownload the entire chain. :cry: I have no idea whether it will work after this or not.

@ploth you can unlock the wallet with siac wallet unlock

If you are getting a 404 error when running the miner, it means you haven't enabled the mining module in siad. You can enable it with siad -M gctwm

Just to give a small update for @mdl6923
It worked for me.
Just have a look at <YOURSIAFODLER>/resources/app/Sia
Start it with ./siad -M gctwm
And then start the Sia_UI

@ploth Thanks so much for the help. I am still having trouble understand where/how to put the ./siad -M gctwm. I have the folder open but don't know where to go from there...

mdl6923 commented 6 years ago

@ploth this is what is says when I open the application titled "siad" in resources>app>Sia

This is a command line tool.

You need to open cmd.exe and run it from there.

And then when I open my computer's command prompt and enter "./siad -M gctwm" it leaves me with this...

H:>./siad -M gctwm '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sorry @mdl6923 It looks like your are on Windows. I can't help you with that.
