Rpc not working on 0.17.1 #15037

curl --user test:test --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getbalance", "params": ["*", 1] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8332: Connection refused

But version 0.16 works

How did you set the rpc username and rpc password? In the configuration file they might be network specific.

regtest=1
server=1
txindex=1
whitelist=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcworkqueue=200
rpcport= 8332
rpcuser= test
rpcpassword=test
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
#rpcbind=127.0.0.1: 8332
daemon=1

#rpcbind=0.0.0.0
deprecatedrpc=accounts
deprecatedrpc=addwitnessaddress
deprecatedrpc=validateaddress

According to the release notes:

If the following options are not in a section, they will only apply to mainnet: addnode=, connect=, port=, bind=, rpcport=, rpcbind= and wallet=. The options to choose a network (regtest= and testnet=) must be specified outside of sections.

So I guess the rpcport is not what you want it to be.

@diadal add [regtest] at the top of your configuration file, just after regtest=1. 0.17.0 made needless breaking change to configuration file structure.

@diadal Has your issue been resolved?
