I develop a dapp with truffle.js and wish to deploy to the live network. I have the Ethereum Wallet already installed (mac osx), and I'm pretty sure it runs on top of geth - am I correct? Anyway, does it act as an RPC server as well? I don't want to install a standalone geth and start moving ether around if I already have a geth running the Ethereum-Wallet. I couldnt find any where in the GUI to config the RPC, nor is it enabled by default (tried to truffle migrate to, it says it can't find an RPC server)


geth automatically started by Ethereum-Wallet will not expose the RPC port.

You have two possibilities:

1/ manually start geth with rpc parameters before starting Ethereum Wallet. On Mac OS, you can find the geth executable in the subfolder of EthereumWallet.app.

2/ After starating Ethereum-Wallet, call geth attach and activate the RPC API via geth's console (admin.startRPC()).
