Sync Does Not Start Up When I Launch It In Windows 7.

[cart007182]

Hi

 

Ever since restarting my computer just after installing and configuring my setting in BitTorrent Sync. The webGUI does not work anymore. If I launch the .exe It tells me about working with Explorer 8 and that I will work with my Default browser which is Chrome. But when I go 127.0.0.0:8888 I get a page does not exist?

 

SO it seems to me like the client/daemon does not start up at all?

Do you mean 127.0.0.0? ...or do you actually mean 127.0.0.1?

Ok, well it's likely then that your Sync isn't currently listening for connections on 127.0.0.1:8888.

The simplest solution would be to run Windows update and update your obsolete IE8 (yes, I realize you use Chrome primarily, but it won't do any harm to keep other installed software on your machine - like IE - up to date as well!)

If however you wish to continue with an obsolete version of IE installed on your machine, you'll need to run Sync with a bare-bones config file to set/rest the listening IP/port for Sync.

Your config file should look like this:
 

{
  "storage_path" : "/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/BitTorrent Sync",
  "webui" : {
    "listen" : "127.0.0.1:8888"
  }
}

(alternatively, you could specify "0.0.0.0:8888" to listen for connections from any other IP, not just from the local loopback (127.0.0.1) address)

Then run Sync with the /config <path_to_config_file> command line switch to apply the new WebUI settings
