Problem with keosd

Question

I have installed EOSIO from https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/releases/tag/v1.4.3

cleos is working properly. But there is something wrong with keosd

cybrosys@cybrosys:~$ cleos wallet create
"/usr/opt/eosio/1.4.3/bin/keosd" launched
Unable to connect to keosd, if keosd is running please kill the process and try again.


cybrosys@cybrosys:~$ keosd

I have done pkill keosd. But still keosd is not running

Answer 1

I have solved it.

What I found is, keosd is running somehow in the system. Find it and kill it. Try the commands below

• Find PID of the running keosd process

  ps -ef | grep keosd

• Kill it

  kill -9 pid

  //replace 'pid' with value returned by the first command

• Run keosd in a specified port(8900)

  keosd --http-server-address=127.0.0.1:8900

Also, make sure that you have eosio-wallet directory and related files in your home directory

Just simplifying answer by @Muhzin, pkill should do the job:

pkill keosd
