Connor0308 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Dear all, I read with pleasance the announcement that btsync would now be available through the official linux packages. I tried to replace my former script with such an installation. After installation on Debian, I was able to start the service. As I wanted to migrate my existinh shares, I copied the files from the .sync folder to /var/lib/btsync. After doing so, the service wouldn't start again, stating: "Failed, check your config file". This file shows nothing that would explain such a behaviour. Any ideas on this? Thank you in advance, br, connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 @Connor0308 Couple of things to check: 1) Its recommended to move Sync files and folders to a new location. In this case Sync will be able to follow to a new location 2) Permissions and ownership. Should now belong to btsync user. 3) You can check the /var/lib/btsync/sync.log for more details after start (well, attempt to start) the service.

Connor0308 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 @RomanZ: You (in this case me...) should be sure what you are doing... There was an old repo enabled. After removing it, it worked without any problem. Sorry for wasting time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
