Btsync Ubuntu Package: Cant Find Debug File

[Der-Tommy]

I like Bittorent Sync very much. Its a cool product.

Not everything is working correctly so i treid to activate the debug log, but I just cant find a way how to do this. I used the ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync.

Can anyone tell me where the .sync file is where i can activate logging?

Thanks

Der-Tommy,

 

You can find the btsync binary, and there should be ".sync" hidden subfolder in the same folder. It contains DB, logs and there could be created debug.txt file to allow extended debugging.

Hi Tommy!

 

If during the installation you decided to create a default instance (it's the default), btsync will store all it's internal stuff in /var/lib/btsync

 

In order to activate debugging, please issue the following commands from the console:

sudo echo FFFF > /var/lib/btsync/debug.txtsudo service btsync restart

You will now find your debugging log in /var/lib/btsync/sync.log - please remember that the log file can become very huge, of you forget to disable logging when you do not need it any more...

 

p.S.: what RomanZ wrote in the previous posting, is correct if you use the btsync executable as downloaded directly from BitTorrent Inc. by launching it manually. The btsync package, installs a full deployment scenario that controls where things are written and processes are managed.
