Thanks! jessie doesn't  run as serveri think setting /etc/network/interfaces is ok: # The primary network interface allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet dhcp # This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface #iface wlx0011d8bff26f inet6 auto wpa-ssid honor wpa-psk abcd1234abcd i run "dhcp wlan1" and

systemd can't start a dæmon and doesn't give any error either

2018-10-08 Thread Weiwu Zhang
To show this dæmon itself is properly configured and runs fine on Debian 9.5: # su bitcoin $ cd $ /usr/local/bin/bitcoind -daemon Bitcoin server starting $ pgrep bitcoind 3946 However, it won't start if converted to a systemd service: # cat /etc/systemd/system/bitcoin.service [Unit]

Are these instructions meant to be executed on Debian 9.5.0?
