Bitcoin testnet rpc is binding to localhost

[emonazad]

Hello , Thanks for the efforts here . currently, i have installed couple of time and at different server bitcoind and i have even pull up github at server and compiled it still bitcoind rpc is binding to localhost even after i have added rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0

i saw

root@arraymachinetest-desktop:~/.bitcoin# sudo netstat --ip -lpa|grep bitcoin
tcp 0 0 localhost:29000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20921/bitcoind
tcp 0 0 localhost:18332 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20921/bitcoind
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:18333 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20921/bitcoind

i used this config file :

server=1
testnet=1
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
port=18332
rpcport=18333
rpcuser=foo
rpcpassword=bar

it was working for me before . any solution for this ?

Try rpcbind=YOURIP:YOURPORT

@emonazad has your issue been solved? Please close this if so.

You might also want to read the section on configuration option changes in the release notes for v0.18.0, assuming that is the version you are running: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.18.0.md#configuration-option-changes

To be honest, the release notes were a bit confusing. How I would put it is this, before if you put
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0, the value of rpcbind didn't need to be set as it defaulted to all interfaces.

Now that is no longer the case. So you need to do:

rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcbind=<the IP you are trying to reach with RPC call>
rpcbind=<another such IP or local DNS name>

Hope this helps somebody...
