Error with truffle deploy command

Question

I want to deploy a smart contract to a private network.

I start the network like this

geth --datadir="~/truffle" --port 30303 --rpc --rpcport 8545 --rpcaddr localhost --networkid 27441 --rpccorsdomain="*" --minerthreads "1" --mine --rpcapi "eth,web3" --maxpeers 4 --unlock=0

then I run 'truffle deploy' I get the message:

Error deploying SimpleStorage:

Account does not exist or account balance too low Deploy failed.

See above."

Could you please give me some ideas about this?

Answer 1

Make sure: 1. You are typing password after starting geth, to unlock your account. 2. You have enough ether in your selected account.
