bytenik Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 How do I set the webui port for Windows for version 2.0? When I run an instance with /webui, it runs on port 8888. If two users run, it tries to bind to port 8888 twice, and the second one fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 You can set/change the WebUI port by specifying it in a config file, and executing Sync with that config file. i.e. your config file should look a little something like this: { "storage_path" : "/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/BitTorrent Sync", "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888" }}Save it as, and then execute sync with a /config <path_to_config_file> command line switch. You'll only need to do this once in order to import the new WebUi settings into Sync.One final comment; running multiple concurrent instances of Sync isn't recommended or indeed officially supported.

bytenik Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 My understanding was that config files were not supported for version 2.0 folders, and doing so would only allow 1.4 folders to function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wweich Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm using btsync on linux so I don't know how the config file situation is on windows, but on linux there is still a config file.In that you have to / can set the WebUI settings (port, auth, ...), path for db storeage and other things. What is not possible anymore with 2.0 folders is to config the shared folders themselves inside the config file.If you set up folders inside the config file they can only be 1.4 ones and the WebUI will be disabled. That's probably what you read regarding 2.0 vs. config file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
