Windows 10 machine
Tried Brave browser and IE
I just did my monthly restart/patch and now the service won’t start. I have tried to run the storage dashboard gui it can’t be reached. I am able to manually start the service under services.msc, but I still do not get the web dashboard. How do I get it up and running again?
I’ve attempted to:
sc start storagenode
Powershell:
restart-service storagenode
I ran this command:
storagenode.exe run --config-dir “C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\config.yaml”
and received this:

Restarted the PC again and received this error in powershell:

The error message is pretty clear, you didn’t specify an address for the payments to be sent to. I’m not very familliar with the windows setup but i am guessing your parameters are in the file at C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\config.yaml ? If so could you post the contents here with any personal information masked?
The address should look something like this: 0xc562c0e5F8413Af5FXXXXXXXXXX1645AaF96Cc29
the X’s are just for privacy. It should be an ETH address

In the logs I can see where it loads correctly, following the same steps, and then after the restart it doesn’t seem to pull the information; same sequence though.
Hmm, from what i can see it looks okay, but as i said i’m running a linux setup so i’m not very familliar with windows setups.
Only thing i could suggest is to maybe put the values into quotation marks and to double check if the ETH address is valid. Weird that it also has a problem with the email though…
What do you mean you can see in the logs where it loads correctly? Maybe you were looking at old log entries?

Those logs look very promising.
It has successfully loaded your configuration and the values seem to be accepted by storj.
Is there no indicator on why it repeats the entries? Normally it should say the reason why it’s trying again in the logs
No, and I just had to go manually start the service again. The only weird thing is that prior to me restarting the machine I was getting failed uploads/downloads. I have a feeling it’s a windows thing, and not a storj problem. Fortunately it’s only a couple of weeks old, so I might just blow it out and start the process again.
Also, I just tested my storage to ensure that it wasn’t a faulty drive and I uploaded/downloaded 300GB across devices with no issue.
Failing downloads and uploads is normal. I have failed uploads and downloads in the low two digit area within a few days usually. And also a lot of cancellations (45% for upload on my node). That just means the node has lost the “race” for a piece and another node got to store it instead. As long as your audits are successful you should be good on that.
I’m out of ideas unfortunately regarding the restarts.
Maybe the big boss @Alexey has some more ideas… I’m sure he’ll stuble upon this thread as he’s involved in most of the topics here
Even crazier yet, I just checked my resource monitor and it shows that there are multiple connections to the box, however my bandwidth is showing <100 bits of data in/out.
No, they looks right. They should contain the files as a destination points.
@Rawzy try to save it in UTF8 without BOM. Or better - remove the current config and create a new one with storagenode.exe setup --config-dir "C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\\" --identity-dir "C:\Users\johnn\AppData\Roaming\Storj\Identity\storagenode\\", then modify only needed parts with the Notepad++
Seems your file could contain some weird characters and thus not be read correctly.
Also, if you have a config.yaml in the %AppData%\Storj\Storagenode it’s better to remove it, because it will be tried first.
I appreciate everyone’s help. I ended up wiping everything and I changed my OS to linux instead. I figured with it being so new that it would just be better to restart and have a 100% reputation. My downside is that I was almost out of the vetting stage. Thanks again, Alex
