Cannot connect to local geth node

Select configuration: Local Configuration name: Local HTTP Endpoint: http://localhost:8545 Websocket Endpoint: ws://localhost:8546

Running geth v1.8.12

After clicking “connect” I get the following errors:

Server Error: "Block range 0x1 to 0 exceeds currentBlock 0"

Server Error: "Controller mismatch. Configured: 0xb3337164e91b9f05c87c7662c7ac684e8e0ff3e7 Found: undefined"

Before experiencing this issue I also ran into this same issue:

https://augur.stackexchange.com/questions/767/augur-client-cant-connect-to-ethereum-node-on-local-network

Tried the suggested command when running geth:

geth --rpc --ws --rpcaddr "0.0.0.0" --wsaddr "0.0.0.0" --rpccorsdomain "*" --wsorigins "*"

which fixed the first error mentioned in that Stack Exchange post but then I got the errors mentioned above.

Edit: I changed my endpoints to point to 10.0.0.3 on the same ports as shown in the Stack Exchange post linked above and now the app just hangs on “Connecting…” for a while before returning the error:

Server Error: "Could not connect via augur.connect Error: Connection failed"

Edit 2: It’s possible this is a node syncing issue. I’ve been at 99.9988% synced for a few hours now so not sure where to go from here…

@sharkcrayon my geth node is consistently ~100 blocks behind, for whatever reason it doesn’t want to catch up to the chain tip. Might have to try Parity.

Closing this issue for now as I have switched to try a Parity node (which also is having its own issue).
