Hi guys! I'm trying to get RPC up & running and I have an issue I've been unable to solve.

I have gui wallet installed with default settings, and a test wallet (simple mode).

I start the rpc program like so:

> "C:\Program Files\Monero GUI Wallet\monero-wallet-rpc" --rpc-bind-port 28088 --wallet-dir wallets --disable-rpc-login --rpc-bind-ip 192.168.1.72 --confirm-external-bind --daemon-address 127.0.0.1:18081

I connect to it from another machine, I call "open_wallet" with corect name & pw and I get "Failed to open wallet"

Here's the output from the rpc program:

> This is the RPC monero wallet. It needs to connect to a monero daemon to work correctly.

>

> Monero 'Fluorine Fermi' (v0.18.1.2-release)

> Logging to C:\Program Files\Monero GUI Wallet\monero-wallet-rpc.log

> 2022-11-04 02:46:59.373 I Binding on 192.168.1.72 (IPv4):28088

> 2022-11-04 02:47:01.186 W Starting wallet RPC server

> 2022-11-04 02:49:06.325 E e || !exists. THROW EXCEPTION: error::file_not_found

What could be wrong? Is the program not connected to the daemon? Do I need to call set_daemon first? Isn't that done by the --daemon-address parameter?

I am fairly confident that I am making a very simple mistake here somewhere, I just can't seem to figure out what it is so I am hoping you can assist me...

bossman it literally says "file_not_found" at startup, you need to fix this first

sech1, not at startup, that is logged when I make the call to open the wallet.

"what could be wrong?" -> "file not found"

Been syncing on cli, seems stuck: W DB error attempting to fetch block index from hashMDB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found // E Error in handle_invoke_map: DB error attempting to fetch block index from hashMDB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested pagenot found

Block height remains same for awhile now: Height: 2733001/2748375 (99.4%) <== what can I do?

pyu: are you syncing to an external drive? which OS are you using?

selsta: to a sshfs mounted disk. voidlinux.

hyc can maybe clarify but I don't think sshfs is supported for lmdb

we generally don't support storing the blockchain on network drives

Been syncing, then stucked. ok, will try something else, forgot about that netwrok wrinkle!

it looks like it lost connection and corrupted

Then maybe I'll try that corrupted db utility, let see.

yes, sech1, that is what I need assistance with. The file is not found although it's obviously there.

"--wallet-dir wallets" where's this directory and are you sure you start monero-wallet-rpc from the parent directory?

it's better to use --wallet-file=full/path/to/wallet/file
