<pre><code>sudo netstat --ip -lpa | grep bitcoin

<p>After starting the bitcoin daemon and all I get is the 8333 port and the connections with other peers.</p>

<p>My bitcoin.conf:</p>

<pre><code>server=1
rpcuser=xxx

rpcport=8332
rpcallowip=*

Have you been able to reproduce this problem with any recent versions? Looking through the code, I can't seem to find a problem in [the code where the wildcard is tested](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/util.cpp#L918).

I commented "rpcallowip=*" and now it's working. Does anyone know why?

Hmm, maybe you should look for `bitcoind` - the Bitcoin server?

I'm using the headless version, and grep filters bitcoind with or without the "d".

<bitcoind>
Why isn't bitcoind listening on its rpc port?
