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.
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).

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.
