I am trying to create a private network consotium in Azure by following this tutorial:
Problem 1 - solidity can´t connect to the private network
Connecting to the network using MetaMask works fine, so I can create accounts and transfer balance from one account to the other. However, I can´t connect to my network using solidity browser (so I can´t deploy contracts) because of the https->http issue. Running solidity from local host also does not work. It says that the accounts are locked. The goal here is to easily deploy my own contracts to this private network.
Problem 2 - connecting from geth or Mist from localhost doesn´t work
Since solidity browser din´t work, I tried another ways to connect to the network and deploy my contracts. Using Mist the problem is:
method personal_newAccount does not exist/is not available
other threads tell me to start get with --rpcapi="db,eth,net,web3,personal,web3"
but why does it work with MetaMask then?
