`datadir` option because the cookie file will still be in the default location for `bitcoin-cli` and `ord` to find. Troubleshooting --------------- Make sure you can access `bitcoind` with `bitcoin-cli -getinfo` and that it is fully synced. If `bitcoin-cli -getinfo` returns `Could not connect to the server`, `bitcoind` is not running. Make sure `rpcuser`, `rpcpassword`, or `rpcauth` are *NOT* set in your `bitcoin.conf` file. `ord` requires using cookie authentication. Make sure there is a file `.cookie` in your bitcoin data directory. If `bitcoin-cli -getinfo` returns `Could not locate RPC credentials`, then you must specify the cookie file location. If you are using a custom data directory (specifying the `datadir` option), then you must specify the cookie location like `bitcoin-cli -rpccookiefile=/.cookie -getinfo`. When running `ord` you must specify the cookie file location with `--cookie-file=/.cookie`. Make sure you do *NOT* have `disablewallet=1` in your `bitcoin.conf` file. If
