@samohyes Hi, did you build release or master branch? It would be best to run the node according to https://docs.btfs.io/docs/btfs-demo documentation.

from go-btfs.

Yeah. I am using the master branch. I just download the source code and build the binary using the script install_btfs.sh. I know the doc you are pointing to. It uses some prebuilt binary. But I actually want to change the source code and build it myself.

from go-btfs.

@samohyes Okay, I see. It's just that for us, the master branch is what we develop on. So we usually recommend users to use the stable release branch or pre-built binaries as its been tested many times. If you run into an issue on the release branch or pre-built binary, we can definitely log it for further bug fixing.

from go-btfs.

I don't know why. I tried the binary and deleted the ~/.btfs dir. Then everything seems fine now. Thanks for the help.

@tycm4109 emm, it looks like the problem is the 5001 port ui apis.
I am trying

`curl "http://localhost:5001/api/v0/id"

500 Internal Privoxy Error

Privoxy encountered an error while processing your request:

Could not load template file no-server-data or one of its included components.

Please contact your proxy administrator.

If you are the proxy administrator, please put the required file(s)in the (confdir)/templates directory. The location of the (confdir) directory is specified in the main Privoxy config file. (It's typically the Privoxy install directory).

So the http apis fail me. And the btfs daemon outputs like this

@samohyes can you try to change the URL to be:
http://localhost:5001/api/v1/id
we have recently changed the api version to 1.

from go-btfs.

@richlee33 Yeah. I tried again and the same thing happens. I can only use btfs add but no http api is working now.

curl "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/id"

@samohyes it seems like there is an issue with your machine resolving "localhost". perhaps its a firewall or proxy issue.
can you try instead of localhost to use the following addresses:
http://127.0.0.1:5001/api/v1/id
http://192.168.1.67:5001/api/v1/id
http://199.168.139.56:5001/api/v1/id
i gathered the ip addresses from the daemon output that was posted earlier.
thanks.

@richlee33 Still not working.. So sad...

from go-btfs.

@samohyes That looks like a VPN configuration issue. Please try to turn off your VPN or bypass the local 127.0.0.1 domain. For more information: https://tinyurl.com/t8946pt

Cool. Exactly. Thanks.
