Interacting with nodes using RPC

+1 vote
I have created my own web application to interact with multichain using RPC. On first node I am able to run the app, but when I configure it to second node am getting access denied error for interacting with multichani on second node.

Please search this Q&A forum for rpcallowip – this is the setting which controls which IP addresses are allowed to access a particular node's JSON-RPC interface.

I have added "rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0" in node1's  chain1/multichain.conf and in node2's chain1/multichain.conf file, but still am getting following error

<HEAD><TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE></HEAD>

You also need to restart the node.
commented May 22, 2017 by MultiChain
I have restarted both the nodes still getting the same.

And you are using the right RPC password for each node when communicating with its API?
commented May 23, 2017 by MultiChain
Solved it. In node 2 port was not listening, so could not able to connect it. Made port to listen and it worked.
