running btsync as normal user


Recommended Posts

I am trying to run bittorrent sync as a normal user. It is now running as root syncing all files with root permissions.

I tried to rename my conf file to btsync.gia-admin.gia-admin.conf and start btsync with "service btsync start". Howver I amgetting the following error:

gia-admin@giadt1:/etc/btsync$ service btsync start

* Starting P2P file synchronisation daemon(s)...

* Autostarting btsync instance 'gia-admin'

start-stop-daemon: unable to open pidfile '/var/run/btsync.gia-admin.pid' for writing (Permission denied)

What to do?

Thank you,

Max
