  3. Synology Nas: Cannot See Anything During Add Folder

    in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    Posted

    Have you considered manually installing on Synology? I don't know if that will solve other issues, but at least it will enable more timely updates. I've put a manual installation guide for Synology online at: https://db.tt/99lZc7j8

    Your provided guide is useful, thank you very much.

     

    If possible I will and I should not want to perform such procedure to fix my problem and let the DSM manage the packages. However, the fact is the latest version may have this issue on some / many Synology NAS so I need to hack the sync.conf file to accept the EULA. I suggested the synocommunity to remove the login and password creation during install in order to avoid the issue if possible.

    For others platform, I suggest try to execute the btsync directly through ssh, or do not add any user & password in sync.conf file and let the btsync to create the user and accept the eula during first login.

    Posted

    Many users like me may encounter problem when installing the latest version of btsync app package that coming from spk source: packages.synocommunity.com . The main problem is the user cannot accept the EULA forever and cause the btsync malfunction. After investigation, I found out that the 1.4.x version of btsync in arm / linux platform may have an issue if running btsync with config file that include user and password information and cause the user cannot accept eula, even checked the box.

     

    Here is the work out on this issue, hope can help you all:

     

    1. Uninstall the btsync to clean up all app folders;

    2. Install the btsync from the source : packages.synocommunity.com

    3. During installation, enter the btsync device name, user and password, then click next

    4. **Important Step** Uncheck "Run after installation", click Next, then click OK

    5. Go to Synology control panel to enable SSH if not enabled yet

    6. Use putty (windows) / ssh (osx/linux) to login your NAS with user root and admin password

    7. After enter ssh, type the command "su btsync"

    8. Type the command "vi sync.conf" to edit the file, add "//" to comment the config setting as following sample:

     

     

    {

      "device_name": "NAS",

      "storage_path" : "/usr/local/btsync/var",

      "pid_file" : "/usr/local/btsync/var/syncapp.pid",

      "webui" :

      {

        "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888" // ,

    //    "login" : "login",

    //    "password" : "password"

      }

    }

     
    Please remember in the listen line, add the "//" before the ","

     

    9. Type "ZZ" to save the file

    10. Go to Syno app manager, start / run the package

    11. Go to web site http://192.168.x.x:8888, enter user name, password x2, check eula

    12. Try add folder, if you see all the folder, BINGO!

    13. Additional info: If your NAS only have single volume (most of NAS use this setting), you can add the following setting after "password" line and before "}": (beware need add the "," at start of this line). Restart the btsync app afterward. This setting may help you to pick up the share folder more easily.

     

        ,"directory_root" : "/volume1/"

     

    That's all.....hope can help you all.

  10. Synology Nas: Cannot See Anything During Add Folder

    in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    Hi all, 

     

    I just installed btsync to Synology NAS (DS-211j,DS-212j) @ 9 Aug 2014 through the app source http://packages.synocommunity.com/ . Here is my install and login procedure:

     

    1. During installation, the appstore will ask some questions and I answered as following:

    Devince Name: XXXNAS2 (Same name of the NAS)

    Login: admin (Same as Synology Admin login)

    Password: <password> (Same as Synology admin login password)

     

    2. Afterward, I go to <ipaddress>:8888 through the chrome, and the btsync required me login again, I typed the same user name and password as point 1 ;

     

    3. After login, see the btsync main screen, and I had tried to click the add folder, and nothing can be selected and added, like the attached screen. Even I added some folders rights to users group also no help. 

     

    Please help me to resolve this issue if anyone have some idea. Thanks.
