the bin bash should be the line 11, not sure what is wrong tho

Are you able to run the command manually? In your case, the command would be:

/bin/bash -c ‘xxxx/cardano-my-node/startBlockProducingNode.sh

I used to be able to

Could you paste the contents of your starting script? Status code 127 some part of your command was not found in your PATH. Most likely, cardano-node or when you run manually, your topology file.

Maybe adding it as a block text in the forum would help the formatting? If I assume your newlines etc are in order, I take it your main command is:

cardano-node run --topology {TOPOLOGY} --database-path {DB_PATH} --socket-path {SOCKET_PATH} --host-addr {HOSTADDR} --port {PORT} --config {CONFIG} --shelley-kes-key {KES} --shelley-vrf-key {VRF} --shelley-operational-certificate {CERT}

An easy way out is probably to add the full path to cardano-node, as it seems systemd is unable to find it. In your case (if you’ve followed the coincashew guide?) that should be:

/home/xxx/.local/bin/cardano-node run your arguments goes here

8

my cardano folder is actually in git
home/xxx/git/cardano-node

9

where does that path go?

10

You replace the last line of your startup script. If I interpret the file correctly, it should look something like this:

DIRECTORY=/home/xxx/cardano-my-node
PORT=xxxx
HOSTADDR=0.0.0.0
TOPOLOGY={DIRECTORY}/mainnet-topology.json DB_PATH={DIRECTORY}/db
SOCKET_PATH={DIRECTORY}/db/socket CONFIG={DIRECTORY}/mainnet-config.json
KES={DIRECTORY}/kes.skey VRF={DIRECTORY}/vrf.skey
CERT={DIRECTORY}/node.cert
/home/xxx/git/cardano-node run --topology {TOPOLOGY} --database-path {DB_PATH} --socket-path {SOCKET_PATH} --host-addr {HOSTADDR} --port {PORT} --config {CONFIG} --shelley-kes-key {KES} --shelley-vrf-key {VRF} --shelley-operational-certificate {CERT}

So we’ve added the entire path to your cardano-node binary in your startup script. Can’t promise it’ll work, but it won’t hurt either :slight_smile:

11

And obviously you’ll need to change the PORT variable to whatever you configure your port to :slight_smile:

./startBlockProducingNode.sh: line 11: /home/xxx/home/xxx/cardano-node: No such file or directory

13

Hmm, thats not the PATH from my paste? There’s one /home/xxx to much?

14

./startBlockProducingNode.sh: line 11: /home/xx/git/cardano-node/cardano-node: Is a directory

i tried it with out the cardano-node folder also

15

now its doing this for some reason : after resetting back to normal

./startBlockProducingNode.sh
InvalidYaml (Just (YamlException “Yaml file not found: /home/xxx/cardano-node/mainnet-config.json”))

cardano-node: YAML exception:
Yaml file not found: /home/sss/cardano-node/mainnet-config.jsondii@:~/cardano-my-node$

16

Oh, I thought that was were you kept your binary? Is it available for your regular user? Does

which cardano-node

give you any output?

17

I’m not sure what you mean by “resetting back to normal”? And not sure why you’re getting Yaml parsing errors when you’re inputting json… :slight_smile: Are you getting this error when you’re trying to run the script manually? Or when systemd is trying to run it?

18

/home/xxx/.local/bin/cardano-node

19

that was just a manual execution of the command . /cardano-my-node$ ./startBlockProducingNode.sh

20

Yeah, thats the path I gave you first. Replace the path from my example above with this path. So instead of /home/xxx/git/cardano-node you write /home/xxx/.local/bin/cardano-node
