Troubleshooting
You can often diagnose a problem with MultiDoge by looking at the Messages window by selecting the 'View |
Messages'
menu option.
For a more detailed description of what has happened with MultiDoge there is a log file to look at. This is stored in the 'log' directory in your user data directory and is called 'multidoge.log'. Use a simple text viewer like Notepad or TextEdit to read it.
Where MultiDoge stores your data
MultiDoge stores user specific data such as logs and the default multidoge.wallet in a "user data directory". This directory can be worked out as follows:
- Check the the very top of the "Messages" tab for a message like "The user data directory is '/Users/jim/Library/Application Support/MultiDoge'"
- Navigate to the MultiDoge installation directory and check for a file called "multidoge.properties". If there is, use this directory as the user data directory. This is for backwards compatibility and for running everything from a USB drive.
- If none of these reveal the answer, use the technical approach given below.
