Setting Up Multichain-Explorer

Question

I'm having trouble setting up the Multichain Explorer for my blockchain network. I followed all the instructions on the github page. However, when I get to the part where I need to add the rpc port number to the "multichain.conf" file, I'm unable to do so. The error is as follows:

>echo "rpcport=6824" >> multichain.conf
>bash: multichain.conf: Permission denied

Answer 1

It looks like you are trying to edit this file as a different Linux user to the one who installed the MultiChain software. This is general operating system file editing permission issue, not specific to MultiChain.
