Hi! I try start btsync from debian console..


{
"device_name": "My Exchanger",
"listening_port" : 0, // 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/syncapp/syncapp.pid",

"check_for_updates" : true,
"use_upnp" : true, // 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" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
"login" : "admin",
"password" : "qwerty"
}
/* !!! 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", // * required field
"dir" : "/home/worm/exchanger", // * required field
// use relay server when direct connection fails
"use_relay_server" : true,
"use_tracker" : true,
"use_dht" : false,
"search_lan" : true,
// enable sync trash to store files deleted on remote devices
"use_sync_trash" : false,
// specify hosts to attempt connection without additional search
"known_hosts" :
[
// "192.168.1.2:44444",
// "myhost.com:6881"
]
}
]
*/
// Advanced preferences can be added to config file.
// Info is available in BitTorrent Sync User Guide.
}

and

console cmd: /home/worm/btsync/btsync --config /home/worm/btsync/btsync.conf

and see:

To use BitTorrent Sync you should specify shared directories in config file or enable Web UI

What's wrong with my config?

To expand on what Auto (Do you mind if I call you Auto?) was saying, the "/*" and "*/" are the beginning and end of comment blocks. The config has them commented out to begin with and you need to remove them for the config to see them. Look at the top and bottom of the snip below.

/*
"shared_folders" :
[
{
// use --generate-secret in command line to create new secret
"secret" : "MY_SECRET", // * required field
"dir" : "/home/worm/exchanger", // * required field
// use relay server when direct connection fails
"use_relay_server" : true,
"use_tracker" : true,
"use_dht" : false,
"search_lan" : true,
// enable sync trash to store files deleted on remote devices
"use_sync_trash" : false,
// specify hosts to attempt connection without additional search
"known_hosts" :
[
// "192.168.1.2:44444",
// "myhost.com:6881"
]
}
]
