I had my ethereum node on one server. I needed to migrate the accounts and all to another server (due to the huge size of blockchain). I started new ethereum node on another server. To copy my accounts, I copied the keystore
folder from one server to other.
Now my node on new server is fully synced but when in geth console
I type eth.accounts
, it returns an empty array. However, if I check by geth account list
, it displays me list of all accounts. Also on eth.coinbase
returns me one of my accounts. What's going wrong?
I have etheres as well as custom token in my account. Am I missing anything?

I had to explicitly set the location of my
keystore
directory to geteth.accounts
to show the right thing.What I did was:
and then typing
eth.accounts
showed me a non-null array.Very strangely, it seems this is a limited-time thing - I now no longer need to specify
--keystore <location>
anymore.Should it help others, I had just done
geth account import
beforeeth.accounts
stopped working as expected.
