Mist: Mist Couldn't connect to node error

Created on 25 May 2016 · 9Comments · Source: ethereum/mist

Mist has been working fine for many weeks until today.
The following window appears on 6.2 and 7.4

What can I do to have the full node up and running again?
thanks

Could you download and try the latest geth version? You can find it here. Download it and start it with geth.exe (no arguments). You should see simular output as in your screenshot. If everything works as intended something like IPC endpoint opened... will appear. In that case you can try to start the wallet (version 0.7.4) and see if that works for you.

If the last line is the same as above and geth seems to be stuck for a minute hit control-c to stop geth. Start geth with geth.exe --nat=none and see if it still stalls. If it starts but you don't get any peers stop geth again and restart geth with geth.exe --nat=extip:<YOUR_PUBLIC_IP>.

Please let us know if you need more help or if its working for you.

@bas-vk i just downloaded geth and started it and i think is running and downloading the blocks, here is a screenshot https://gyazo.com/c15b7e09d032defa04b383328c7749c8

Should i leave it to finish downloading or i can close it and start the wallet?

thanks!

leave that running in one window and start the wallet. usually the wallet starts that process on its own if it's not running, but I've had issues with the latest versions not being able to connect to the geth process. It looks like there's a very long time after report that synchronization has started and the next line is output. I think the app is hitting a timeout.

Thx for reporting back, glad dat it did work for you.
@jordimorris, could you try the same?

@bas-vk after re-installing, purging cache and re-downloaded the whole chain data it works that well that I don't dare to touch it. 6.2 up and running and won't upgrade until a better version is relesed. Good to keep following this post!
