Catsrules Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have broken the web UI on my Ubuntu 14.1 installation of Btsync, and I can't figure out how to get it back. I was playing around with file permissions, because I have Btsync and SAMBA accessing the same folders, this was creating file permission issues with who owns them. But I figured it out, just as I got it working, the WebUI stopped working. I get a password prompt I type in my password, and I get a blank page. I have tried to reconfigure BTsync several times, I have tried to change port number and IP address binding, web user log in and password but nothing has worked so far. I even removed btsync and installed it again, but it looks like there are config files that still remain. Any ideas? As far as I can tell syncing works just fine, I just can't change anything because of the lack of UI Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Catsrules, Was it working before you've set permissions? Do I understand it right and you start Sync with a config? If yes, did you define directory_root" there for Web UI? Also, please, make sure that you have the correct address. It should be http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8888/gui Is it like this?

Catsrules Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yes it was working before I changed permission, umask of files. Where do I go to define the directory_root? I am using the dpkg-reconfigure btsync command. Would it the very first screen talking about running as daemons and where are the configs? If so then it is /etc/btsync? When I connect to http://serverip:8888/gui I get the login prompt I enter in my user ID and password and then I get a blank page. I have changed the port number and I still get it. I am guessing it has something to do with permissions for the web server but I don't know where the web files are stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Catsrules, directory_root for web ui is defined in our default config. Once you use dpkg-reconfigure btsync (which is the unofficial Sync package), please, address the issue to this forum topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
