Node stuck starting

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
1

When I stop cardano-node and then start it back again it gets stuck in starting and the only way to fix it is to remove the db folder and wait 1-2 days again for the DB to sync. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve been trying to set up my nodes for weeks and I keep running into the same issue.

2

I can’t tell if everything is working as expected or if something is broken on my side.

3

For how long it’s staying in starting?

4

It took like 10hrs for it to change from starting mode… Sorry I thought there was something wrong due to how long it took to start running.

5

Finally got my pool up and running!

What was it that you did? I am having same issue. Both BP and Relay stuck in Starting.

7

I don’t know, I left my nodes running and they started working after like 10 hrs.

8

whelp, this is weird. I did the same thing, deleted the db directory and bam both BP and relay are syncing. IDK, weird. They’re syncing so they’re obviously working right?

9

Have your nodes synced?

10

Yes they have!! Had to upgrade the config files and increase RAM. TTY!!

Hi, Cardano and forum newb here.
I am having this issue. It was working then stopped. Relays seem fine but BP is stuck ‘starting’ in gLiveView.
It’s not a live server yet. I am in the process of building my first pool.
Let me know what files I should post.

What nodes do u have inside topology file for the Producer and Relay?

.206 and .205 are my in-house relays

15

But the relays are 100% synced?

16

yes. but I ran topupdate after they synced

17

Try to see if the relays accept connections from the producer

18

how do I do that?
