Error Log Initiating electrs Service

Troubleshooting

Here is the log I am getting. Initiating electrs to the full node repeatedly fails. Any tips? All settings for configuration of the node including password are set to default. Thanks.

Is your Bitcoin Core fully synced with all green health checks?

3

Copy that yes sir. It is accepting incoming peer connections and cranking away.

4

Go to Services > electrs > Config > Save

That should reset the password it’s attempting to use to authenticate to the Bitcoin Core RPC.

Figured it out. Had to do a similar config/save on Mempool service. After stopping and restarting it. Mempool sync was hung. Thanks.
