I have read through a number of posts on here about this error but none seem to solve my problem. I am trying to use Altcoin-cli on my alt-coin (which is an exact clone of the bitcoin source) using my generated Altcoind daemon and Altcoin-cli
I know that it is an exact copy of bitcoin because I forked it myself (for learning purposes) so the error isn't caused by me breaking some code. Here are the steps I am doing:
1) In one terminal I run Altcoind -daemon -reindex
2) In my Altcoin.conf fine I have this:
rpcuser=barneyrpcpassword=12345rpcport=22777listen=1server=1dbcache=50daemon=1testnet=0maxuploadtarget=200txindex=13) I then run Altcoin-cli generate 1 -1 in attempt to mine a block. This is where I get the error:
error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
Also, when I run the cli command, this line appears in the debug.log
keypool reserve 2
I will add my debug.log dump below too, but it looks fine to me. The connection refused errors are the coin attempting to connect to seed nodes that don't exist yet.
