Do you have another btsync process running on the same box? I noticed when I tried to run btsync a second time without the configuration file, it started but ran at 100 cpu. I suspect there is an issue when it tries to grab the same 8888 port that's already in use by the first process.

Noone wanted to help the newb - eh? j/k. I figured it out. I went ahead and installed btsync on that users directory. Even though I used the configuration file to start the second process, the webgui did NOT work (yes, I changed the port). Therefore, I had to hardcode the folder settings and secrets in the text file. It works for now, and I understand that this is an alpha release. Just wanted to share my experience on linux (Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS).

Please pardon my newbness, but is it possible to run two instances of btsync on Ubuntu Server? I'm running into permissions issues when syncing folders. I installed btsync on /home/'myuser'/btsync , and use the read only secret as a "backup solution" to push files from my PC and MAC to my NAS (Ubuntu Server). But, when I want to sync another users's files to another directory "/media/documents/'anotheruser' with the owner being 'anotheruser' and chmod set to 775, I still get permission denied. Even when I changed the owner of that directory to 'myuser' btsync still doesn't sync the files.
