[NXT 0.3.14] - How To Install NXT Client (WITH PICTURES) UPDATED DAILY!

[Drexme]

Need help. Program won't start
Here's screenshot : http://pl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24n4g1x&s=5#.Up03GuK9Y8s
any ideas ?

Try these:

Security Tips

- Do NOT run Nxt on a VPS.  Only run Nxt locally.  Even if you connect to your VPS securely via SSH, you are still not safe because all VPSs have backdoors.
- Nxt's P2P port is 7874 (tcp).  This port is the only port that needs to be open to run Nxt.
- Nxt also uses port 7875 for it's HTML client interface and port 7876 for API commands.  CLOSE THESE PORTS ON YOUR FIREWALL.

PS:If you get errors try this:
1. Go into your nxt folder >> webapps folder >> root >> WEB-INF and edit web.xml
2. In the parameter "<param-value>(IP_ADDRESS_GOES_HERE)</param-value>" put ur IP address
3.Save and run start.bat again

Just installed it successfully.. But it's showing up with 0 Active, Known, and Blacklisted peers and there are only 193 blocks showing, the last of which was on Monday, November 25, 2013 11:32:52 AM.

Also shows 34 unconfirmed transactions which is weird since I haven't used the account before haha

You sure you got the latest version of nxt?
Installed correctly?

Yup, the one directly from this thread. I closed out of the cmd prompt to see if relaunching it would get it to connect... but now I get an io error after Loading Transactions

re install the nxt files, see if that helps

Okay, that got it to load the GUI again, but peers are still 0 and now the latest block showing is from November 24. Installed NXT on my laptop as well and the results are the same

accepted peers is bugged ans should not work.
Everyone has 0 accepted peers.
But idk about your block problem.
Must be something with java.
try replacing this with your batch file:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar start.jar

[qbd1313]

in the CMD :  java.io.IOException:

what is the problem

Thank you! You're guide worked for me. I didn't bother with the recent nxtfiles.zip. I just downloaded everything from the start again. 

[kevinkms]

Finally!!! I am up and running again. I fail couple of times before getting it working.
But my balance have been 0.000 all the while since Sunday.
When will I start getting Nxtcoin?

This pictorial guide is one of the best and easiest I have ever had the pleasure to use. It worked beautifully, and if I had coins, I'd surely send some to you. You deserve many. Thanks so much.

Agreed, drexme deserves some donations for his work in helping people get the client running, he's doing a great job.

I see this guide has worked. I'm happy to have helped the community.

Hello

i followed each step in the guide. Got web-app going, but in the bat file this message keeps rolling: " 32: java.lang.NullPointerException ".
Also in the web-app there is nothing in "my transactions" area. all other windows contain info. What could be the problem?

I'm seeing NullPointerExceptions as well, but it appears to still be working without issue.
