zcash.conf settings not taking... #31

Closed goofmd closed 6 years ago

goofmd commented 6 years ago

Newbie alert....

Running zcashd from out/usr/local/bin... and installed zcash.conf with testnet enabled in Application Support/Zcash folder... But - testnet renames disabled despite enabling (and removing #).

So... what are reasons the .conf file isn't being recognized despite comment character being removed for testnet=1?

Output of getmininginfo:

{ "blocks": 179264, "currentblocksize": 0, "currentblocktx": 0, "difficulty": 5877942.367122299, "errors": "", "genproclimit": -1, "localsolps": 0, "networksolps": 307657097, "networkhashps": 307657097, "pooledtx": 0, "testnet": false, "chain": "main", "generate": false }

Facing similar issue. Seems like the default zcash.conf file is not being taken into account. In the meantime you can run ./zcashd --help to see all available parameters/flags you can pass. It's essentially the same as the info in your zcash.conf file. There's a -conf=FILE param that you can try. Or you can pass the parameters directly on the CLI (which definitely works)

Thanks so much! Will try!

Hi @goofmd @andrerfneves sorry that it took me so long to respond. I tried to reproduce the issue but everything seems to work alright. If I add testnet=1 to zcash.conf in $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Zcash/zcash.conf like below:

$ cat $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Zcash/zcash.conf 
rpcuser=zcashrpc
rpcpassword=DGTWq7T59yYBffjMQgOUyNF6xLfgzplx
#gen=1
testnet=1

zcashd starts syncing with testnet:

$ ./zcash-cli getmininginfo
{
  "blocks": 0,
  "currentblocksize": 0,
  "currentblocktx": 0,
  "difficulty": 1,
  "errors": "",
  "genproclimit": -1,
  "localsolps": 0,
  "networksolps": 0,
  "networkhashps": 0,
  "pooledtx": 0,
  "testnet": true,
  "chain": "test",
  "generate": false
}

Anything that I miss?

Hmm, not sure @kozyilmaz. Going to try building it in my machine instead of just taking the binaries themselves. I'll report back. Thanks for the response.

@kozyilmaz my zcash.conf file was in the incorrect folder. I had the original file at $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Zcash/zcash.conf but was looking at my file at /Library/Application\ Support/Zcash/zcash.conf. It's all working great. Go ahead and close this. Cheers
