yes it is located there

but i see no activity with my block now

22

Ok, try to activate the line

23

Activate it how? Should I add the "node.socket into the line?

24

try to leave only cnode port activated

25

I think i Needed to set my socket to this:

/db/socket/

when I did that i could start my node.

gLive is working now.

I think opening the EKG port also helped.

So thanks

I don’t think that was the solution, I am having the exact problem and the changes you made didn’t work for me. I’ll open a separate thread with more details.

28

make sure the path of the node socket

/db/socket (or whatever name you want to give it)

Hi, I’ve this issue also.
I’ve the node running for a few days now, no problem.
but all of a sudden while I was running gLiiveView, this message comes up
"
Looks like cardano-node is running with socket-path as /home/lovelace/cardano-my-node/db/socket, but the actual socket file does not exist.
This could occur if the node hasnt completed startup or if a second instance of node startup was attempted!
If this does not resolve automatically in a few minutes, you might want to restart your node and try again.
"
so I see that the socket file is now missing.
I restarted cardano node and the status shows that its running but no socket file

do you know wha I should do?

Mind if I ask how you rectified this? Running into the same issue

32

doc

if you run “lsof {node}/db/socket” you will see that there are many processes that use the socket file

  1. cardano-node
  2. cncli
  3. qcpolsend
    etc…

I simply did shutdown all these systems

sudo systemctl stop cardano-node
ps -ef|grep cncli
sudo kill those process ids
ps -ef|grep qcpolsend
sudo kill those process ids

so now I just restart cardano-node

sudo systemctl start cardano-node

and you’ll see that it will create the socket file after a minute or so.

Thanks
