How do I activate HTTP JSON-RPC on a Geth node?

Question

I want to use RPCs to access a Geth node. Do I have to execute admin.StartRPC on the node in order to activate the RPC server?

Instead of admin.startRPC(addr, port), when you start your node (if you are using geth) you can use the rpc flag

geth --rpc - this defaults to localhost:8545

You can also define your own address and port number with these options:

geth --rpc --rpcaddr <ip> --rpcport <portnumber>

geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain "http://localhost:3000"
