peercoind -conf argument not works

[EminBudak]

I run peercoind like that

/usr/bin/peercoind -daemon -conf=/root/.peercoin/peercoin.conf > /dev/null 2>&1 &
But when I looked log file config file is not loaded.

Deamon starts sync without configuration.

I installed bionic-peercoind_0.6.4-1_amd64.deb

the only reason why config would not load when specified like this would be permission problems. please check the user that runs your daemon and group/other permissions of peercoin.conf file.

[EminBudak]

I think permissions are right. Because I run bitcoin, litecoin, dash and other clones properly like that. I faced up this problem with peercoin.

to further debug, please show output of these commands:

ls -la /root/.peercoin/peercoin.conf
and while running peercoind daemon:

ps auxw | grep peercoind

[EminBudak]

peercoind starts sync without error but when I check debug.log I see that there is no related line with "configuration loaded" in the log file. So I cannot make rpc call because rpcuser & rpcpassword are not set.

ls -la /root/.peercoin/peercoin.conf

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 180 Jan 1 22:02 /root/.peercoin/peercoin.conf

ps auxw | grep peercoind

root 542 0.0 0.0 17436 1008 pts/0 S+ 13:25 0:00 grep --color=auto peercoind

[backpacker69]

please start peercoind first and then run 'ps auxw | grep peercoind' command

I solved my problem thanks you change my viewpoint about problem. I focused the wrong point (conf file). I run deamon with bash script and it returns an error before executed because of port number 9901 already used. I changed my port number and it works now. The log file still doesn't consist configuration line but it loaded configuration. (Other bitcoin clones show conf line in log when it loaded I confused because of this.)
