[Debian And Ubuntu Server Unofficial Packages For Bittorrent Sync]

Ah sorry, I copied together some things from the default config files.

Thanks to your new config file and a reboot it works now.

I apprecciate your help

To the one more thing: yes, seems like I interpret that wrong.

PS: Nowadays you get the advice to update to wheezy, so I say it infront, because due to using OpenMediaVault, I can't upgrade

[Debian And Ubuntu Server Unofficial Packages For Bittorrent Sync]

Hey tuxpoldo,

I see you deliver great support here. Thanks for this good and ongoing support

I'm trying to get btsync to work on a debian squeeze. If I run it the "standard" way (which means running as root) it simply works, including the webinterface - i did not check if a sync works so far.

But what I want to do is to run it as an unpriviliged user. But for the sake of it I cannot get it to run under another user. Alltough running as an unpriviliged user it should run with the webinterface.

So I read through this thread here, especcially page 4, where someone asked something similiar. It seemed to work for him, besides the pid error he encountered...

- Well, while I was writing this post I got it to run under a normal user but without webinterface - see my config below

// DAEMON_UID=btsync
// DAEMON_UMASK=0002
//
// This example will launch the instance running under the credentials
// of the user "jdoe" using 0002 as umask
// The internal data of the btsync daemon will be written in
// /home/jdoe/.btsync
// Since the web gui is disabled, the user cannot configure anything.
// The instance offers one replicated directory located in
// /home/jdoe/syncdir
//

So the webinterface is not running, why?
