Nodeos Troubleshooting
"Database dirty flag set (likely due to unclean shutdown): replay required"
nodeos
needs to be shut down cleanly. To ensure this is done, send a SIGTERM
, SIGQUIT
or SIGINT
and wait for the process to shutdown. Failing to do this will result in this error. If you get this error, your only recourse is to replay by starting nodeos
with --replay-blockchain
"Memory does not match data" Error at Restart
If you get an error such as St9exception: content of memory does not match data expected by executable
when trying to start nodeos
, try restarting nodeos
with one of the following options (you can use nodeos --help
to get a full listing of these).
Command Line Options for eosio::chain_plugin:
--force-all-checks do not skip any checks that can be
skipped while replaying irreversible
blocks
--replay-blockchain clear chain state database and replay
all blocks
--hard-replay-blockchain clear chain state database, recover as
many blocks as possible from the block
log, and then replay those blocks
--delete-all-blocks clear chain state database and block
log
"Could not grow database file to requested size." Error
Start nodeos
with --shared-memory-size-mb 1024
. A 1 GB shared memory file allows approximately half a million transactions.
What version of Antelope am I running/connecting to?
If defaults can be used, then cleos get info
will output a block that contains a field called server_version
. If your nodeos
is not using the defaults, then you need to know the URL of the nodeos
. In that case, use the following with your nodeos
URL:
cleos --url http://localhost:8888 get info
To focus only on the version line within the block:
cleos --url http://localhost:8888 get info | grep server_version
Error 3070000: WASM Exception Error
If you try to deploy the eosio.bios
contract or eosio.system
contract in an attempt to boot an Antelope-based blockchain and you get the following error or similar: Publishing contract... Error 3070000: WASM Exception Error Details: env.set_proposed_producers_ex unresolveable
, it is because you have to activate the PREACTIVATE_FEATURE
protocol first.
