[solved] Headless Linux, cannot connect to WebUI

Recommended Posts

I am trying to install the latest version of btsyc on a CentOS 6.5 headless server. I cannot reach the WebUI.

I configured the webui on port 65000. This is confirmed by the command line reply when I start the service:

Webui is listening on 0.0.0.0:65000

The service itself is configured to run on port 8888.
When I run `lsof -Pnl +M -i4`, I get the following output:

btsync    25687      500    9u  IPv4 536416051      0t0  TCP *:8888 (LISTEN)
btsync    25687      500   10u  IPv4 536416052      0t0  UDP *:8888
btsync    25687      500   13u  IPv4 536416060      0t0  UDP *:3838

Nothing else seems to be listening on 65000. I tried `netstat -tulpn` as well and the results are the same. I added a rule to iptables and `Iptables -L` returns (among others):

Quote

> ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW tcp dpt:65000

But to make sure I tried to run it while the iptables service was completely switched off, and I still could not get any different results.

The logfile sows the following:

I tried to run webui on a different port, the result is the same.
I also tried to bind the webui on my server's IP address instead of 0.0.0.0, same result. Any ideas?

 

[Update]
So I started this whole process again with a default config and on port 8888 and now it worked. As a recommendation for people in the future who have such an issue, try to use this command here:

    curl -k http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8888/gui -v

to see if the server is running from the server's command line. It should show a quite long bunch of HTML if the server is running properly. If that works, try to amend the config file from there on
