I have just got my first XRP built and running! I ran the update and am now running MP 1.2.0. I also experienced the hang after the final update as Cara Hedadorn described.
I want to enable the web server. However, there are no files in the Root. Should there be? I am wondering if that final update somehow messed up the Root folder. Also, is there a way through the IDE to create a .json file? Or, should I create it in VS Code and then copy it into the Root
As of right now, secrets.json is not created on the XRP when installing XRPLib, so your installation is most likely fine. I would suggest downloading the template secrets file here, and upload that into the root directory of the XRP, then modify whatever values you need.
Note that if secrets.json is not present, or it’s malformed, you can still have the XRP create it’s own access point that will have a default SSID XRP_1 and password remote.xrp by calling Webserver.start_network()
