Cittadino Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi everyone! I have a strange problem - I have two webservers (Win 2008 R2) and try to sync their webroots via btsync. Server A is the Master, Server B is the Slave, connected as a read only folder. When I set up the syncing, it runs ok at first, but left alone overnight, Server B stops staying in sync exactly at midnight. After 23:59, no changes on the Master are replicated anymore. They are officially connected (according to the btsync GUI), Master keeps logging all the changes in his webroot, no error messages or anything - but Slave does not sync anymore and even a reboot would not make him start again. I actually have to completely remove the sync folders on both(!) machines and create them anew to make them start syncing again. I find this quite strange (and annoying) .. Does anyone know something about this? Is this simply a bug? Or am I doing anything wrong? I'd appreciate any hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Is one of your devices obtaining a new IP address each day at midnight? If a device's IP address changes when Sync is running, this may confuse a currently running instance of Sync. If this is the case, you could either:Assign a fixed IP address to the offending device, or router (if possible)As a workaround, setup a scheduled task to shutdown Sync at 23.59 and then execute it again at 00.01 each day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cittadino Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi! Sorry, haven't seen your answer until now... but thanks for the feedback! No, those are servers with fixed IP-Adresses... but the issue is of low priority in the moment anyway, since I have other issues on my testing systems right now - I think I'll open a new thread for them. Maybe I'll come back to this thing here later again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cittadino Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 UPDATE: Problem is solved - I did another test with the new version (BTSync v1.2.73) and a correct configuration and everything works fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
