Node won't start?

Question

Hi all,

Apologies for what is quite a newbie question.

Having successfully created a blockchain and issuing the Start command I receive the below conformation: https://vgy.me/tkTTI8.png.

I have noticed the statement "Multichain server is starting", but this never seems to say "Started" (or similar).

When I then run "multichaind Hoskins@10.108.164.30:2693" I receive the error: "ERROR: Couldn't initialize permission database for blockchain Hoskins. Probably multichaind for this blockchain is already running. Exiting..."

Can anyone please advise on where I'm wrong?

Thanks.

The server has indeed started (sorry the message is a bit ambiguous), so your next step should be to use multichain-cli to talk to the node, rather than trying to run multichaind again.
