I'm so close. I ran ./nodeo --delete-all-blocks and it cleared up an error I was having previously and there's one command I can now run in CLEOS by myself without piggybacking off of a block producers node. But I'm still getting some errors regarding an ABI...here's what it looks like...
This is the result I get...
FC Exception encountered while processing chain.get_producers: 3060003 contract_table_query_exception: Contract Table Query Exception
Table producers is not specified in the ABI {"table":"producers"}
I was trying to run ./cleos --url http://localhost:8888 system listproducers and that's the response it gave me. I tried running BIDNAMEINFO as well and got the same result.
When I ran GET ACCOUNT this is the result I get...
STD Exception encountered while processing chain.get_account: unknown key
I've added the plugins to the NODEOS config.ini file in my ROOT directory and when I ran --delete-all-blocks BNET started up and it said "START THREAD," so I know I'm close. At least I feel like I am lol. Just not sure where to go next.
