A late reply,
Started the bitcoin QT client, let it create the directories it wanted then closed it down.
copied my blockchain over to /apps/.bitcoin and restarted the exe. Took a long time to
check the blocks which was ok as my server fell over after upgrading the firewall software.
The client eventually finished checking and started up fine, my wallet amount looked good,
tomorrow I'll restart it and make sure it talks to the net ok, I see no reason that it shouldn't but
considering the time here and the time it took me to put a monitor, keyboard, and a DVD on my
headless server to boot and return to my previous version of the firewall software in between
the traps with fxwrap.. <== no server, no internet access, as the server sits between the inside
network and the outside world..
At least I updated my config.x in the process, it was dated 2001, shows how many times I'm
problems with this server since I upgraded it in 2007.
