Not different. However, I think this question is more simple. Therefore, I expect to delete the past one.

You're using get transaction on a non-wallet transaction, or getrawtransaction without enabling txindex.

Does it mean I should add txindex=1 to bitcoin.conf file?

It seems that my local bitcoin testnet node are corrupted. Could you tell me how to rebuild blocks?

The reason why I think it is corrupted is as following.

For example, when I checked transaction "ed2ccc36c241ad00893d0596fe167a4df162989dbf8c5ff3916d4034e7f510c3" on my local testnet node, it returned the following error.

```
error code: -5
error message:
No information available about transaction

```

However, on testnet block reader it returned transaction info.
