I ran into this problem too. I fixed it by adding genesis-json = {path-to-eos-folder}/eos/genesis.json to the file: {path-to-eos-folder}/eos/build/programs/eosd/data-dir/config.ini. I run osx high sierra btw.

I also added the other config options in the getting started section. Be careful though, the enable-stale-production is already in the config file so if you copy-paste the config options, you'll have a duplicate and need to delete the other one or else you'll get an error.

@egmracer01 thank you, problem solved.

[tcpinedo]

which one are you supposed to delete the first or second?

[EdwardJSantos]

@tcpinedo I believe you are suppose to delete the first one that is set to false.
I am still having trouble though. The config.ini is referencing the correct genesis.json file, but I receive the following error
