Connection refused from p2p-peer address for NODES-Producing Block

Question

I am trying to setup EOSIO production node on Ubuntu. My specs are following:

NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)" with 62GB RAM and 500GB storage. I have installed eosio using pre-built binaries. I want to setup node as producing node but connection refuse on p2p-peer address: my config is following:

config.ini

producer-name = atifmehmood1
signature-provider = <EOS-Pub key>=KEY:<EOS-Pvt key>
agent-name = Eosio.Identity

http-server-address = 0.0.0.0:8888
p2p-listen-endpoint = 0.0.0.0:9876
p2p-server-address = 172.31.91.78:9876


p2p-peer-address = 34.96.75.100:8099

I am running Nodeos with following command:

nodeos  --plugin eosio::producer_plugin --plugin eosio::producer_api_plugin 
--plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::http_plugin 
--http-validate-host=false --delete-state-history --delete-all-blocks >> nodes.log 2>&1 &

But I am getting these error:

I have tried lots of IPs from this link(https://github.com/superoneio/eos-mainnet/blob/master/config.ini) as p2p-peer address but still no luck. Kindly help me out here.

Answer 1

I was not running through latest snapshot. I downloaded snapshot and ran Nodeos again with nodeso --snapshot /path/ and it worked

Answer 2

I am facing some issues while running through snapshots , i am on ubuntu 18.04. Also to mention, i have installed pre-built binaries of eosio. Node is starting from 1st block but it was taking so much time so i tried using snapshots but its isnt working properly. command used :

1. stop.sh
2. nodeos --snapshot /path --force-all-checks
