Port Error please help

Hello!
I’ve keep getting fallowing error:

I wonder how to fix it.

looks like since you’ve used storagenode2 in your start command that this is a second node on the machine, and the first is using port 28967. So you’d have to configure the second node to use port 28968

In powershell execute this command and show the result

Get-Process storagenode*

From config.yaml file can you paste what is shown for contact:external-address

nerdatwork · October 17, 2020, 4:34pm

This is not the right file. config.yaml file should be under C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node.

Mistpets · October 17, 2020, 4:34pm

It dosent “load” the file from the installation folder.

nerdatwork · October 17, 2020, 4:35pm

Can you elaborate ? What error or issue are you facing while opening the file?

Mistpets · October 17, 2020, 4:36pm

If you mean the config.yaml none , its just dosent read from installation path

nerdatwork · October 17, 2020, 4:39pm

Try this in powershell

Select-String “contact.external-address” “C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\config.yaml”

You haven’t specified a static IP or DDNS hence you see port error. Did you setup DDNS ?

Read point 8 from documentation

I’ve got a question ive getting some actions after pressing “entern” in cmd lane is that normal? Shouldnt be it auto , also i got 1 more HDD on this PC to spend “free space” dose it mean i need to put somehow 2nd node?

nerdatwork · October 17, 2020, 5:33pm

It is recommended to use 1 node per HDD. Let this node fill up then you can think of adding another node. Your new node will be under vetting and only get 5% of traffic.
