Does anyone know the config for Abe install after updating to ./dashd?

Is it just

Code: 
datadir = [{
        "dirname": "/***pathtodash***/.dash/",
        "loader": "blkfile",
        "chain":   "Dash",
        "code3":   "DASH",
        "address_version": "\u004c" }]

Did you ever get this this figured out? Finally getting around to upgrading my explorer and I'm missing something obvious.

UDPATE: My blocks update when I startup ABE running against DASH. However, ABE is no longer updating automatically.

flare: Any ideas? You originally helped me get ABE setup and running.

No, I haven't. Used another source for the time being, but really keen to get it sorted. Let me know how you get on!

  • to get it run: just change the path from .darkcoin to .dash in abe.conf (nothing else). But the links in the web block-explorer will still say Darkcoin.
  • to get it run as Dash: install this one: https://github.com/crowning-/bitcoin-abe

It works/syncs fine over here, but for reasons I don't have the time to figure out it only displays blocks up to 244229 in the web interface.

Could be a local database problem, I seem to remember that this might be the last block added as Darkcoin.

Try it and please report back. If it works on your system I'll create a pull-request to the official bitcoin-abe repository.

When I fire up ABE with python -m Abe.abe --config abe-my.conf, the blocks get added to MySQL. However, it's still not automatically pulling from dashd.
 
Also noticed that I don't have a Dash.pyc file in the Chain directory. Shouldn't this be created automatically when launching ABE?

I have ABE working again with the changes from crowning. Thanks. I did have to re-create the database.

Also setup a cron job so ABE will retrieve new blocks every minute.

I had this Abe-not-automatically-updating problem also. Did rebuild the Abe-database 3 times from scratch with 3 different databases, no difference.

What fixed the issue:

  1. delete blocks- and chainstate-folders from .dash
  2. re-sync the Dash blockchain from scratch
  3. delete the complete Abe-database, e.g. when you use mysql:
    1. connect to database: mysql -u root -p
    2. delete database: drop database abe;
    3. create it again: create database abe;
    4. give user abe the permissions again: grant all on abe.* to abe;
  4. rebuild the Abe-database: python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf --commit-bytes 1 --no-serve
It's important to connect to the database as user "root". I tried it with user "abe" first and it did NOT work.

Edit: here's the pull-request for later reference: https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe/pull/169

Edit^2: pull requests for Abe seem to be merged every other year or so :rolleyes:, so here's the link again to my repository: https://github.com/crowning-/bitcoin-abe
