Thoronwen Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi there! My btsync service will no longer start on my Arch laptop. systemctl status shows:btsync[4925]: Can't open pid file /usr/bin/.sync//sync.pid. Permission denied There is a file at /usr/bin/.sync/sync.pid, so I guess the double slash is just wrong. How do I point btsync to the correct location? Thanks for any help.

drego85 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You can change the configuration in the file sync.conf! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thoronwen Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Right, I had tried to point to the pid file in the configuration file before, but apparently that wasn't a config file that btsync was actually reading :x For any future readers with the same issue:My correct configuration file was:/etc/btsync.confI was able to point to the pid file by editing line 10 to:"pid_file" : "/usr/bin/.sync/sync.pid", It's all working now, thanks for the help Edited October 12, 2014 by Thoronwen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colin Brace Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I was encountering this under FreeBSD and solved it by simply uncommeting this line in the config file: "pid_file" : "/var/run/btsync/btsync.pid" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
