# RPC Connectivity Fix Summary

## Issues Identified and Fixed

### 1. ✅ Docker Compose Command Format
**Issue**: The `docker-compose.yml` had incorrect command format:
```yaml
command:
  - /opt/besu/bin/besu
  - --config-file=/config/besu-config.toml
```

**Error**: `Unmatched argument at index 0: '/opt/besu/bin/besu'`

**Fix**: Changed to use the container's ENTRYPOINT:
```yaml
command: ["--config-file=/config/besu-config.toml"]
```

### 2. ✅ Deprecated Config Options
**Issue**: `besu-config.toml` contained deprecated options:
- `log-destination="FILE"`
- `log-file="/opt/besu/logs/besu.log"`
- `metrics-category-enabled=["blockchain","jvm","process","peers","rpc"]`

**Error**: `Unknown options in TOML configuration file: log-destination, metrics-category-enabled, log-file`

**Fix**: Removed all deprecated options from config file.

### 3. ⏳ Genesis File Missing/Incomplete
**Issue**: Genesis file is either missing or incomplete (only 223 bytes, contains error XML).

**Error**: `Unable to load genesis file. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/besu/config/genesis.json`

**Status**: In progress - Need to upload full genesis file to all nodes.

## Current Status

- ✅ **NSG Rules**: Port 8545 allowed on all backend VMs
- ✅ **VNet Peerings**: Full mesh complete (30 peerings)
- ✅ **Network Connectivity**: Ping successful (0% packet loss)
- ✅ **Docker Compose**: Command format fixed
- ✅ **Config File**: Deprecated options removed
- ⏳ **Genesis File**: Upload in progress
- ⏳ **RPC Endpoint**: Waiting for Besu to start with correct genesis file

## Next Steps

1. Upload full `genesis-138.json` to all 5 Besu nodes
2. Restart Besu containers
3. Wait for Besu to initialize (30-60 seconds)
4. Test RPC endpoints
5. Verify `https://rpc.d-bis.org` responds correctly

## Testing

Once Besu is running:
```bash
# Test from Nginx VM
for IP in 10.1.1.4 10.2.1.4 10.3.1.4 10.4.1.4 10.5.1.4; do
  curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}' \
    http://$IP:8545
done

# Test via Cloudflare
curl -X POST https://rpc.d-bis.org \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'
```

Expected: `{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"0x8a","id":1}`
