Hello there,

I am trying to setup a node and i followed the beginners guide to do so.  
I went through it without any particular issue but when i check my node status it still shows that it is “not registered”.  
My node ETH address is 0xD7915b90A880eb868857D76fe69d1c0c7CcCA317.

Below is the result of node status:  
|TRANSCODER STATS|  
±---------------+  
_---------------------------_----------------------------\*

_---------------------------_----------------------------\*  
| Active | false |

_---------------------------_----------------------------\*  
| Pending Price Per Segment | 160 WEI |  
_---------------------------_----------------------------\*

I also get this error message repeatedly :  
“E0914 20:07:41.247378 2331 db.go:459] db: Got err in updating block unable to open database file”

Can someone help me on this ?  
What am i missing ?
