Blocks.nxt not updating - Any help? -
« on: February 06, 2014, 08:51:12 AM »
Hey, I'm new to NXT and after setting up my client and starting an account I realised that its not updating the blocks info. Everything seemed to be doing fine until I used the faucet and received 4NXT. I checked my account in the browser and it still read 0.00. I used the blockexplorer and saw that the transaction had gone through but my browser wasn't recognising it. After some trial and error I narrowed it down to the blocks file. No matter what I've tried it won't update the file. I have used three different versions of the client including two older ones, checked the web.xml for peers, reinstalled java, tried downloading a blocks.nxt file, done the whole cancel client/java/delete and reinstall etc. but so far I've not figured out what the problem is. I've read through several threads regarding common issues all to no avail. So I'm throwing my problem out to you guys in the hope that someone may be able to suggest something useful. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Windows 7 32bit
0.6.0
latest block#: 43467 (Only because I manually downloaded a blocks.nxt file)
6.40am UTC
accountID 17167882648491536317
balance in the blockexplorer: 4 NXT

Try to install 0.60 from scratch, don't copy or download any .nxt files into the folder, then start the jar. Let it run for 5mins to download all the blocks by itself, should work this way.

1) Removes all client (you can leave the start.bat ONLY)
2) Download and unzip the latest version ( 0.6.0 ) from http://info.nxtcrypto.org/
3) Running the client and wait 10-15 minutes to connect to nodes.
4) If it fails, close, delete .NXT files and reopen.
5) If it does not work, let's open time unattended.

No need to change web.xml!
No need to reinstall java!
No need to open the web!
Do not use .NXT files of other versions!

Firstly, thanks for the fast replies. I've tried what you suggested and all seems to be going okay. I had actually tried that already but perhaps I didn't know what to look for. My client says 'scanning blockchain...Done...NRS 0.6.0 started successfully' etc. and so I had thought it was complete but I've just now noticed my blockchain file steadily growing in size. So fingers-crossed  this works. Thanks
