Common Issues

XMRigMiner

• XMRigMiner is just the worker, it is not designed to work standalone. Please start XMRigDaemon instead.

Windows only: DLL error on starting

• Make sure that you installed latest Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. Can be downloaded here: microsoft.com

Linux only: Background mode

• The --background option will only work properly for the XMRigServer. But there is a simple workaround for the XMRigDaemon process. Just append an & to the command and it will run smoothly in the background.

  ./xmrigDaemon --config=my_config_cc.json & or you just use screen

HUGE PAGES unavailable (Windows)

• Run XMRig as Administrator.
• Since version 0.8.0 XMRig automatically enables SeLockMemoryPrivilege for current user, but reboot or sign out still required. Manual instruction.

HUGE PAGES unavailable (Linux)

• Before starting XMRigDaemon set huge pages

sudo echo 'vm.nr_hugepages=128' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p

Servers asks for "Please configure a Dashboard"

• Add full path to "custom-dashboard" in config_cc.json, for example:

  "custom-dashboard" : "/opt/xmrigCC/index.html" // dashboard html file
