What do the logs for your node say?

hey, thanks for showing up.
Like I said, no errors, just keeps not syncing and from journalctl it just shows:

Sep 06 16:35:35 testnet-node cardano-node[429]: [node-:cardano.node.DnsSubscription:Warning:102] [2022-09-06 16:35:35.29 UTC] Domain: "relays-new.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io" Unsupported remote target address [2600:1f1c:d4f:6d00:0:1:0:1]:3001

I am guessing, and it’s just a guess, it’s because I need to go to the pre-prod or preview testnet using different config files, but not sure

Solved it!!
I downloaded the config file for pre-prod configuration, and did:

cabal clean

and it all works great again!!

Link for reference: Download the configuration files for the respective environments

I face the same issue, but can you help me to understand that?

I set it up using the Testnet Sandbox config:

In this case it should run using the testnet configurations (testnet-topology.json)
In the config you downloaded are the preprod configs and not for the testnet…

Hey,
The testnet from babbage era is deprecated (see here), you have to move to:

So, what the log said was that the URL endpoint was no longer responding, which means the testnet is down, so it cannot sync. For that, you need to upgrade and move to a new network (mentioned above) with an upgraded node (v1.35.3).

Let me know if it helped.

Kind of confusing not having the official documentation properly updated, don’t you think?

Thank you for the detailed explaination. This will also help others.

Yes I agree, it’s very confusing. Also that we have /developers.cardano.org and docs.cardano.org…
If you have a Catalyst Proposal to streamline the documentation prozess, I would highly support it :slight_smile:
