Segmentation fault on Windows 10 (but not on Mac)

Question

Hi, when I try to connect a slave node to the master node (with Windows 10), the slave node process receives the signal SIGSEGV and exits. On Mac, this setup works without problems.

I started the mutlichain slave node as child process with this command in NodeJS:

multichaind -txindex,-printtoconsole,-port=7447,-autosubscribe=streams,MyChain1@master-node:7447

Then I get these logs:

Am forwarding to the tech team to take a look.

Answer 1

The most likely explanation is that there is some issue with the DNS resolution for this special address master-node which is not a standard type of domain name. Please try substituting the IP address instead of master-node when you run multichaind on the command line.

Thanks for your response. I fixed by using the IP address of the master-node as you mentioned. The problem only occurs in docker on windows because it uses a different DNS than Docker on Mac.
