Manual

There are many custom written commands to make your life a bit easier. Make sure you learn them and how to properly use them.

sudo

Do NOT use sudo on any commands YiiMP related or for any coin daemon commands! All of these commands are ran under your user account. This includes using the yiimp cli and starting, stopping, or running other cli commands for coin daemons.

The ONLY time you will use sudo is for direct system commands such as,

sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo reboot, sudo nano filename, copying any files to /usr/bin, etc

I know on the other installer it has you use sudo for just about everything. And that's because the person that cloned it from the original crombie crunch version is an idiot and changed a bunch of stuff that they shouldn't have touched.

directory structure

The directory structure for servers setup by multipool is radically different then vanilla YiiMP servers. Take time to learn the new directory structure to prevent issues and headaches.

For YiiMP Single Server:

Directory	Files
/home/crypto-data/yiimp	General install location for YiiMP
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/starts	screens and stratum sh files - you do not need to run these
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site	-
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/web	New location for YiiMP web files
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/backup	backup location for mysql DB
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/configuration	New location of your serverconfig.php
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/crons	New location of the main:blocks:loop2 sh files
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/log	New location for debug.log and your nginx server log
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/stratum	New location for your stratum files
/home/crypto-data/wallets	New location for wallets

For YiiMP Multi Server:

Directory	Files	Server
/home/crypto-data/yiimp	General install location for YiiMP	All
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/starts	screens and stratum sh files - you do not need to run these	Web and Stratum
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site	-	Web and Stratum
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/web	New location for YiiMP web files	Web
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/backup	backup location for mysql DB	Web
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/configuration	New location of your serverconfig.php	Web
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/crons	New location of the main:blocks:loop2 sh files	Web
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/log	New location for debug.log and your nginx server log	Web
/home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/stratum	New location for your stratum files	Stratum
/home/crypto-data/wallets	New location for wallets	Daemon

Commands

addport

If you are using dedicated coin ports the addport command easily allows you to setup your new coins dedicated port, stratum config, and screen start files.

You will first be asked for the coins symbol, this MUST be entered in all UPPER case.

You will then be asked for the coins algo, the MUST be entered in all lower case. It also has to match exactly the way the algos stratum.conf is in YiiMP. For example the stratum.conf for sha256 is sha and not sha256. So you would enter sha.

Once you enter those two bits of information, addport will randomly select an open port between ports 2768 through 6999. It will create the new stratum.config as symbol.algo.conf (btc.sha.conf) in the /home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/stratum/config directory.

It will also create a new file called stratum.symbol (stratum.btc) in the same directory and also in /usr/bin. A new cron job will also be created to start your coins stratum at server boot.

addport will automatically start the new stratum once it is created as well as open the port in the firewall.

addport multiple stratum

If you have setup multiple stratum servers, then you will really love addport! You will need to do the following steps to get it setup fully.

Run these commands on your primary stratum server to get it setup:

sudo mv /usr/bin/addport /usr/bin/addport.single

sudo mv /usr/bin/addport.multi /usr/bin/addport

sudo nano /usr/bin/addport

and add your server login credentials for each of your stratum servers. The file is setup with a total of three stratum servers. If you are adding more then that additional edits will be needed. These edit can be found in the addport file itself.

You will ONLY run addport on your first primary stratum server!! addport will create all the needed files on your additional stratum servers automatically.

daemonbuilder

daemonbuilder is the quickest and easiest way to build most coin daemons on your pool. With daemonbuilder you can add a new coin daemon, upgrade an existing coin, and if you run in to any of the most common build errors, you can easily correct them.

daemonbuilder needs to be installed prior to running. To install run multipool on your daemon server and select daemonbuilder from the install list.

I know I have mentioned this before but it is extremely important that you do NOT add things like libdb4.8 to the system. Servers built with multipool use custom builds and adding things in like libdb4.8 will break your server.

makefaucet

makefaucet command is used to setup and add coin faucets to your pool. makefaucet is ran on your DB server. At this time the faucet system is a paid add-on.

motd

motd on any command line to refresh the system information.

stratum

stratum command is used to start a specific algo on non dedicated coin port enabled servers.

stratum start | stop | restart algo

New algos that have been added since the creation of the stratum command file will need to be manually added to the file for them to work.

Do not confuse this with the YiiMP stratum file located in /home/crypto-data/yiimp/site/stratum

stratum.symbol (stratum.btc, etc.)

The stratum.symbol command is used to easily start | stop | restart your dedicated coin stratum screen and only used with servers built with dedicated coin ports enabled.

• This command is created automatically when you run addport!

Usage for the command is:

stratum.symbol start | stop | restart symbol

So for example BTC would be:

startum.btc start btc

From there you can use screen -r btc to view the stratum screen for that coin.
