Explorer keeps displaying "old" blocks/transactions

Hi, I have the issue in which the explorer keeps pointing to old blocks.
What I've done:

  • Pointing tools/grabber.js and routes/web3relay.js to private chain
  • Run node/grabber.js then node app.js

The app can start, but after I reset the private chain, it keeps listing the old blocks, when selected the block -> 404 error.

I tried to removed mongo db folder but the issue remained.
Where can I completely erase the blockchain database of the explorer ?

Thank you & cheers,
Anh-Dung

What settings are you using for grabber.js? Make sure you have latest set to true.

You mean the settings in the config.json if I'm correct ?
Here are they

{ "gethPort": 8545, "blocks": [ {"start": 0, "end": "latest"}], "quiet": false, "terminateAtExistingDB": true, "listenOnly": false }

Try this:
"terminateAtExistingDB": false, "listenOnly": true

I found the reason: it's the mongo DB
Simply remove blockDB (local if needed also) should do the trick!
Your config works too @elaineo!
Thanks & cheers!
