Quick question. I have Sync running on my Buffalo XHL for a few months. I've installed it manually. How do I check which version I have and is there an easier way to upgrade than re-installing it manually again?

Never mind. Everything works now on my Linkstation LS-XHL with almost stock.config.txt. Only port has been changed to 8080 and btsync folder path edited.

Can no longer edit previous post so posing here. Basically I've learned to point BTSync to config file. But still WebUI doesn't work. UPnP is dissabled, config file edited, port forwarded in router. Tried many different ports - no luck.

Noob problems. Folowed instructions Wizt's post. Btsync is runing on my Buffalo Linkstation LS-XHL, Can't access WebUI though. My config file: { "device_name": "My Sync Device", "listening_port" : 8080, // 0 - randomize port /* storage_path dir contains auxilliary app files if no storage_path field: .sync dir created in the directory where binary is located. otherwise user-defined directory will be used */ "storage_path" : "/home/user/.sync",// uncomment next line if you want to set location of pid file// "pid_file" : "/var/run/btsync/btsync.pid", "check_for_updates" : true, "use_upnp" : false, // use UPnP for port mapping/* limits in kB/s 0 - no limit*/ "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 0, /* remove "listen" field to disable WebUI remove "login" and "password" fields to disable credentials check*/ "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8080", }/* !!! if you set shared folders in config file WebUI will be DISABLED !!! shared directories specified in config file override the folders previously added from WebUI.*//* , "shared_folders" : [ {// use --generate-secret in command line to create new secret "secret" : "MY_SECRET_1", // * required field "dir" : "/home/user/bittorrent/sync_test", // * required field// use relay server when direct connection fails "use_relay_server" : true, "use_tracker" : true, "use_dht" : false, "search_lan" : true,// enable SyncArchive to store files deleted on remote devices "use_sync_trash" : true,// specify hosts to attempt connection without additional search "known_hosts" : [ "192.168.1.2:44444" ] } ]*/// Advanced preferences can be added to config file.// Info is available in BitTorrent Sync User Guide.} My log file: [20140611 19:08:04.211] total physical memory -1 max disk cache 2097152[20140611 19:08:04.213] Using IP address 192.168.1.5[20140611 19:08:04.214] Unable to listen for HTTP traffic on port 8888[20140611 19:08:04.215] Loading config file version 1.2.67[20140611 19:08:05.369] UPnP: Device error "http://192.168.1.35:2869/upnphost/udhisapi.dll?content=uuid:677f837c-c1e6-436c-a6e3-984c43289498": (-2) [20140611 19:09:05.239] Received shutdown request via signal 15[20140611 19:09:05.240] Shutdown. Saving config sync.dat Restarted many times trying various port and setting combination. But every time I see port 8888 in log file. Maybe there's a copy of it elsewhere and BTSync uses it? 8080 port is forwarded. What did I miss?
