[Latest Sync Build: 1.1.70]

Having issues with 1.1.40 on Linux

I installed the correct linux version, have it running. The webGUI says it is 1.0.34 when I downloaded 1.1.40. I had run the older on a while back on this same server, webGUI different version than client?

I am having issues with no sync, I have it installed on the Linux box and Windows. I can sync just fine between 2 windows machine (had this running between my linux and windows machine before on the older version, but now it wont connect between them)

??

[WebUI Login not working]

Positive, from the very moment I installed it I have not had a login prompt appear.

[WebUI Login not working]

maybe, never shows login prompt for me just goes right to UI?

1:

./btsync --dump-sample-config > sync.conf

Then used Nano to edit, tried "mypwd"}, that just gave me that same error:

Error while parsing config file: Unexpected end of config file (are you missing '}') ?

any ideas? I noticed someone sent previous person a non tabbed version that worked, possible get re up to pastebin?

I used nano through terminal so that shouldn't be the problem....:/

ran it as a .conf and .json neither work with or without the comma.

get this error in a code checker.

Parse error on line 3:
...ening_port": 0, //0-randomizeport/*s

Start using:

./btsync --config ./btsync.conf

( I know it is using the config due to name)

but I still go directly into the UI no prompt. I tried adding the comma after the pwd but I get that same error

Error while parsing config file: Unexpected end of config file (are you missing '}') ?

Thanks for any help
