Electrum not connecting to Electrum Personal Server #3

Open s7n4qg3 opened 3 years ago

s7n4qg3 commented 3 years ago

I've installed bitcoind, Electrum Personal Server (EPS), and Electrum on QubesOS using the information in these guides. When I run all of these, Electrum shows that it is 'Not connected' at the bottom left corner of the window. When I check the debug.log for EPS, it shows the following text:

DEBUG:2020-09-22 23:14:08,023: Electrum wallet disconnected

It looks as if Electrum cannot connect persistently to EPS (but I may be mistaken?)

For context, here's the '[bitcoin-rpc]' part of my EPS config.cfg:

[bitcoin-rpc]
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8332
rpc_user = REDACTED
rpc_password = REDACTED
wallet_filename = 
poll_interval_listening = 30
poll_interval_connected = 1
initial_import_count = 1000
gap_limit = 25

And here's my bitcoin.conf:

listen=1
onion=10.137.0.13:9111
onlynet=onion
proxy=10.137.0.13:9111
txindex=1
server=1

# Electrum Personal Server Auth
rpcauth=REDACTED
# Electrum Personal Server Wallet
wallet=electrum-personal-server

And here's my Electrum config:

{
    "auto_connect": false,
    "blockchain_preferred_block": {
        "hash": "000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f",
        "height": 0
    },
    "check_updates": false,
    "config_version": 3,
    "decimal_point": 8,
    "gui_last_wallet": REDACTED,
    "is_maximized": false,
    "oneserver": true,
    "qt_gui_color_theme": "dark",
    "recently_open": REDACTED,
    "rpcpassword": REDACTED,
    "rpcuser": "user",
    "server": "127.0.0.1:50002:s"
}

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

Looking at the EPS debug.log, it looks as if EPS is not successfully connecting to bitcoind - every 30 seconds, it's creating a new rpc connection, as can be seen below:

I don't typically use EPS, but in order to check on this for you I updated my testnet EPS, bitcoind, and Electrum. My testnet VMs are not having any of the connectivity issues that you're experiencing. The only things I can think of are:

s7n4qg3 commented 3 years ago

Thanks @qubenix. I've updated my poll_interval_connected setting but that hasn't made a difference. I'm using the same versions as you but I'm using Electrum 4.0.3. I might delete my VMs and start over from scratch, just in case I've missed anything.

I've never used ElectrumX or Electrs. If I can't get EPS to work in a new VM, I might try the latter to see if I have more luck with that.

s7n4qg3 commented 3 years ago

After deleting my VMs and starting over, I'm having exactly the same problem as before. I've submitted a pull request with minor amendments to the guides that I used - perhaps there will be some clues there to inform what's going wrong.
