When I go into the relay folder and type “cardano-node run” I get:
InvalidYaml (Just (YamlException “Yaml file not found: configuration/cardano/mainnet-config.json”))
cardano-node: YAML exception:
Yaml file not found: configuration/cardano/mainnet-config.json

Hello,
Do u have the mainnet-config.json file inside relay folder?
Cheers,
When I do ls in the relay folder it shows I have them but I don’t know how to go into them to verify they have what is needed. I thought it just downloaded the latest versions of all but it sound like I need to manually set them all up but the guides I followed don’t provide much info on that.
ls -l to list in a fancy way
nano file_name to check the configuration
Cheers,
The folder you are showing the mainnet-config.json file in appears to be your build folder. Where is your db folder that is used by your node?
I was able to clear out all the duplicate json files in the relay folder using rm [filename] and re-import them.
I feel like I am so close to getting this working now as I’m starting to understand things a bit more cleary.
So far I imported in the .json links from “For Cardano testnet” into my relay folder:
https://docs.cardano.org/projects/cardano-node/en/latest/stake-pool-operations/getConfigFiles_AND_Connect.html
I guess my confusion now is there are .json files for Cardano testnet and for Mainnet and I’m not quite clear on where each set goes.
I have a db folder inside my relay folder. This is how things look so far when I do ls to show what’s inside the folders.
I went and added all the mainnet-config.json files into my relay folder and I still get the yaml exception error when I run “cardano-node run”.
InvalidYaml (Just (YamlException “Yaml file not found: configuration/cardano/mainnet-config.json”))
cardano-node: YAML exception:
Yaml file not found: configuration/cardano/mainnet-config.json
According to the error it looks like I need to find the configuration/cardano folder and import the mainnet .json files in there.
Use this and fill in the paths where your .json files are
cardano-node run
–topology path/to/mainnet-topology.json
–database-path path/to/db
–socket-path path/to/db/node.socket
–host-addr x.x.x.x
–port 3001
–config path/to/mainnet-config.json
nevermind, I figured it out, I have to run it with the full command of location and it runs…
cardano-node run
–topology testnet-topology.json
–database-path db
–socket-path db/node.socket
–host-addr 0.0.0.0
–port 3001
–config testnet-config.json
thanks, I just posted that seconds before you posted it lol
They are in the relay folder so when I run it from the relay it runs them now
Nice, the paths are always tricky
Yes, relative versus absolute paths can be tricky to sort out. I use small shell scripts to sort out my configurations. You can also set the node socket and socket path at the same time
export CARDANO_PATH=$HOME/mainnet
export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=$CARDANO_PATH/socket
export CARDANO_NODE=$HOME/bin/cardano-node
$CARDANO_NODE run --topology $CARDANO_PATH/config/topology.json --database-path $CARDANO_PATH/db --config $CARDANO_PATH/config/config.json --port 3001 --socket-path "$CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH"Hi Kraken,
Sorry, I am having the same issue and you have lost me here. Are you saying to simply enter the code from the “Understanding your configuration files” in the Cardano manual? (Understanding your configuration files and how to use them: - Stake pool course) Here is a screenshot of where all my files are at
Can u try with host address 0.0.0.0 ?
Yes, because u need to add \ at the end of each line except last one
Cheers,
It does nothing then.
cardano-node run \
--topology mainnet-topology.json \
--database-path /db \
--socket-path /db/node.socket \
--host-addr 0.0.0.0 \
--port 3001 \
--config testnet-config.json
