I am trying to get Multichain Explorer running and I updated the .conf file (chain2-core.conf in my case) and when starting it up, it cannot find my .conf file however I have the path correct in the .conf file:
[USER@SERVER multichain-explorer-master]$ sudo python -m Mce.abe --config chain2core.conf
failed to load /root/.multichain/chain2-core/multichain.conf: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/root/.multichain/chain2-core/multichain.conf'
catch_up_rpc: abort
Skipping datadir /root/.multichain/chain2-core: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/root/.multichain/chain2-core/blocks/blk00000.dat'
Abe initialized.
Listening on http://0.0.0.0:8080
Launched background thread to catch up tx every 60.0 seconds

Based on running the cat command the file appears correctly, below is my .conf file:
[USER@SERVER multichain-explorer-master]$ cat chain2core.conf
# Config file for MultiChain Explorer
#
# Same file format as Abe. Please refer to Abe.conf for more
# information about the parameters shown below and other advanced options.
# Port to serve web pages
port 8080
# Who to accept connections from.
# You can only have one host entry in the config file otherwise the explorer will report an error.
# host 0.0.0.0 # to accept connections from anybody (including localhost) e.g. production
# host localhost # to only accept connections from your local machine e.g. testing
host 0.0.0.0
# Configure a MultiChain network
datadir += [{
"dirname": "~/.multichain/chain2-core", # Path to chain's data folder
"loader": "default", # Do not change
"chain": "MultiChain Chain2-Core", # Display name in explorer
"policy": "MultiChain" # Do not change
}]
# Database type (do not change)
dbtype = sqlite3
# Filename of database
connect-args = chain2core.explorer.sqlite
Is there something obvious I am missing or have setup incorrectly?
UPDATE: I changed the path to a direct path with my /home/user path however how can I avoid this? Is it because I run the abe command as root however my chain was installed using another user?
