I use VPS centos 7, and i install bitcoind follow: https://www.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/

this is file bitcoin.conf:
```
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=My_password
daemon=1
rpctimeout=30
rpcport=8332
gen=0
txindex=1
keypool=100
```
Then i ran: bitcoind -reindex -deamonthen ran: bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction string_txid

i get error:
```
error code: -5
error message:
No information available about transaction
```
I use: Bitcoin Core Daemon version v0.13.0.0-ga402396

Unrelated thought: We should include in the error message if txindex is set.

@Vagabondtq What is the length of the string_txid? Did you accidentally remove or add chars to the string?

Did you run the command exactly as "bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction string_txid"

string_txid must be a hexadecimal string

@Vagabondtq Can you try with current master again or provide further information to my previous question, please?
