Not able to attach geth ipc Fatal Unable to attach to remote geth connect connection refused

0 votes

First I ran this command: 

geth  --datadir “/home/blockchain/Downloads/privatechain/data” --networkid 99 --port 30303

And now I am trying to attach geth.ipc and start geth console but the connection is not happening.

$ geth attach /home/user/.ethereum/geth.ipc console
Fatal: Unable to attach to remote geth: dial unix /home/user/.ethereum/geth.ipc: connect: connection refused

You should not mention double quotes for path. Run the first command without quotes:

geth  --datadir /home/blockchain/Downloads/privatechain/data --networkid 99 --port 30303
