My monero node is fully synced. I'm using Ubuntu. In my monero config file I added:

Rpc-bind-ip=127.0.0.1
Rpc-bind-port=18081
Rpc-login=myusername:my password

Then I started monero with ./monerod.

On another terminal I started:

./monero-wallet-rpc --rpc-bind-port 18084 --wallet-file "wallet name " --password "my password" --daemon-address 127.0.0.1 --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --rpc-login username: password  

(with password from monero conf)

It gives me errors like

E client has incorrect username/password for server requiring authentication
E throw exception:tools:error: no connection to Daemon

  1. Rpc-... should be rpc-... (i.e. not capitalized)
  2. ./monero-wallet-rpc ... --password "my password" password here is your wallet password, not the password you have set for the daemon RPC. For that you need to use ./monero-wallet-rpc --daemon-login user:pass.
  3. ./monero-wallet-rpc ...--daemon-address 127.0.0.1 should be --daemon-address 127.0.0.1:18081, or simply --daemon-host 127.0.0.1, or even simpler, remove all settings specifying 127.0.0.1 or 18081 (in both wallet and daemon conf), as they are the defaults for the daemon RPC.

All of the options are documented in:

monerod --help
monero-wallet-rpc --help

  • After adding --daemon-login user:pass , it's working now . One more thing... With 127.0.0.1 can I access it from different locations ? Or do I need to change it ?

  • "One more thing... With 127.0.0.1 can I access it from different locations ?" - 127.0.0.1 is localhost only.
