I have built Catcoind (a fork of the Bitcoin / project) and I can access the commands in my terminal by doing this from root:
cd catcoin/src
./catcoind -daemon
That will start Catcoind, open the port, and allow me to type commands like './catcoind getdifficulty', but I want to access them from a PHP JSON-RPC client running on another server. The code I currently have there is:
<?php
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
$catcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://RPCUSER:RPCPASS@IP:PORT');
print_r($catcoin->getinfo());
echo $catcoin->getdifficulty();
My config file for the Catcoind build on Ubuntu is:
server=1
rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASS
rpcssl=0
rpcallowip=*
bind=IP:PORT
externalip=IP
proxy=IP:PORT
port=PORT
rpcconnect=IP
When I run the code, it says that it failed to open the stream / connection refused. The config for Catcoind is at location ~/.catcoin/catcoin.conf. Any ideas? I know this is confusing, but I have really everything done but allowing external IPs to access the API. Thanks! :D
You don't need all these things to be written in conf file just use following
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=<user_namer>
rpcpassword=<password>
rpctimeout=30
if connecting from remote host do add following line
rpcallowip=<remote_ip_address>
save and exit from conf file and restart daemon by first stopping it catecoind stop and then catcoind start
