I can't define bitcoin.conf file in different folder as default #25886

I installed the bitcoin libraries on /mnt/volume_fra1_02, ran it via the following setting

bitcoind -datadir=/mnt/volume_fra1_02/.bitcoin -conf=/mnt/volume_fra1_02/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

i get an error when i want to create a new wallet

bitcoin-cli createwallet adminwallet

response : No authentication cookie could be found, and RPC password is not set. See -rpcpassword and -stdinrpcpass. Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)

Probably still based on "/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf" directory.

Could you help?

You'll need to tell bitcoin-cli the auth credentials in one way or another.

If you use cookie-auth, the -datadir should be enough to specify. If you use rpcauth in the conf file, the -conf should be enough to specify. If you don't know, you can pass both (the same you passed to bitcoind).

See also bitcoin-cli -help.

it shows as "Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)" in the error message, but I specified the location differently.

bitcoin.conf file : daemon=1 server=1 rpcuser=***** rpcpassword=**** rpcallowip=0.0.0.0 rpcport=8332

it shows as "Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)" in the error message, but I specified the location differently.

How did you specify the location? What shows in the error message is the location in which it looks for the configuration file. /root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf looks like the default location which means that you didn't specify /mnt/volume_fra1_02/.bitcoin correctly.

What MarcoFalke has suggested is to try and run bitcoin-cli -datadir=/mnt/volume_fra1_02/.bitcoin -conf=/mnt/volume_fra1_02/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf createwallet adminwallet

If you are using a non-default path (in this case /mnt/volume_fra1_02/.bitcoin ) you'll need to append the appropriate -datadir/-conf flag on every command.
