rpc authorization error plaguing me...

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your support in the first place.

I am trying to write a little personal bash script for a project I am doing at work that will allow me to automate a few tasks I need to run, in particular with dash.conf that will be automatically edited adding some addnode= list I require and other things.

It is purely for a project the company I work for is running.

I have a VPS service that comes with dashd pre-installed through a template made by my hosting provider and at reboot it has a screen session created automatically where I can monitor the daemon's behaviour.

The dash.conf provided is a very default one (my script will take care of populating the various lines I need).

rpcuser=tempuser
rpcpassword=temppassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
txindex=1

However, this is the main hurdle I get... it looks and sounds very stupid but I really cannot get past it.

These are the first lines of my bash script (all the required binaries have been copied to /usr/bin for ease of use):

dash-cli stop
sleep 10
rm -Rfv ~/.dashcore/blocks chainstate/ database/ (I want to use a bootstrap that will be processed later, so I want a clean directory)
sleep 2
dashd --daemon (I need dash to be back on now as otherwise later steps requiring dash-cli will fail)
sleep 10

At this point I get my error:


error: incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed)

Why is this the case if I haven't modified the dash.conf rpcuser or password at all? I have left the original one that was supplied by the hosting provider.

Any help to correct what I am doing wrong will be greatly appreciated.

I am truly sorry if I can't disclose more information of what I am really trying to do, as the project for the moment is considered to be very confidential.

Thanks again.

Kind Regards,

Ugo
