I need some more information. If you look at the rc.d script, it is supposed to create /var/db/bitcoin and set it to the correct user as part of the precmd. Can you ls -al /var/db and see what is going on with that? (In reply to Kevin Bowling from comment #1) Spin up a fresh 11.3 jail on FreeNAS and install as above. # service bitcoind start results in nothing happening, # ps aux reveals that the daemon is not running. To run the rc.d script verbose, I ommit the -f flag: # /usr/sbin/daemon -u bitcoin -p /var/db/bitcoin/bitcoind.pid /usr/local/bin/bitcoind -conf=/usr/local/etc/bitcoin.conf -datadir=/var/db/bitcoin Which results in the following output: root@btc:~ # Error: Unable to create the PID file '/var/db/bitcoin/bitcoind.pid': Permission denied Result of ls -la on /var/db: drwxr-xr-x 3 bitcoin bitcoin 4 Aug 7 00:26 bitcoin If you change the pid location to /var/run/bitcoind.pid and run ls-la: -rw------- 1 root wheel 5 Aug 7 00:39 bitcoind.pid A commit references this bug: Author: kbowling Date: Tue Nov 17 02:36:55 UTC 2020 New revision: 555537 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/555537 Log: net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon: Move PID to /var/run This deconflicts the GUI client, and fixes a permission error for the daemon even when running stand alone.

I committed your suggested fix above, can you test and report back if it is still not working? |
The bitcoin-daemon package's default rc.d script has a permissions error. To duplicate: # pkg install bitcoin-daemon # sysrc bitcoind_enable="YES" # service bitcoind start # Error: Unable to create the PID file '/var/db/bitcoin/bitcoind.pid': Permission denied To fix, edit /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bitcoind: remove line pidfile="${bitcoind_data_dir}/bitcoind.pid" uncomment #pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
