When I type : ./steemd --rpc-endpoint, I am stuck at 0 block.

215400ms th_a witness.cpp:196 plugin_startup ] witness plugin: plugin_startup() end
215400ms th_a main.cpp:182 main ] Started witness node on a chain with 0 blocks.

Now, I go try open ./cli_wallet, I get :

Logging RPC to file: logs/rpc/rpc.log

{"uri":"ws://localhost:8090"}

I am Debian Jessie, but any idea why? I have no idea how to approach this... and slack is down.
