Failed to read PID - linux Debian Jessie

[kanyi]

Hi guys!

I tryed to update Btsync to resilio,  on my phone everything was fine. But my desktops sytem is Debian Jessie, the resilio is not worikng. Here is the manual The program is running, but I can not sync. I try to create a new share, I have to add a full permission for the folder, (drwxrwxrwx ) this is looks very bad...  I stopped here because until now the btsync program worked without this.

After the installation, I tried check the process this is my superuser. And something is wrong here:

$service resilio-sync status

Can not read her own pid, I think this is not normal. _ the last 2 lines.

When I try to check my normal user, something is wrong - 5th line:

$systemctl --user status resilio-sync
Warning: resilio-sync.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl --user daemon-reload' to reload units.

 Main PID: 3143 (code=exited, status=255)

 

I really don't want to use the program with full folder access permission, I think this is not normal. Any idea, what is wrong?

 

best,

I have the  same issue.

Stop service, delete file /var/run/resilio-sync/sync.pid, start service

I have Ubuntu and that doesn't work. As I watch the run folder live /w ranger, the pid file is getting deleted right after it's created.

I get two different service files, one at `/lib/systemd/system/resilio-sync.service` and the other at `/etc/init.d/resilio-sync.service`, shouldn't there be a `/etc/default/resilio-sync` file which some details where we can set the path of the config file, running user, pid paths etc?

(btw, I fixed mine via removing "/lib/systemd/system/resilio-sync.service" so that only the one at `init.d` is working.

I commented out one line in 

 

/lib/systemd/system/resilio-sync.service

 

so that it looks like this (PIDFile):

The PIDFile is set in the resilio-sync config anyway and is still created with the correct PID inside.
