Webui password keeps getting reset to default on reboots

Post by zagor64 »

Just installed deluge on Ubuntu 14.04 server and all is working fine including the thin client, however as I mentioned in the title, when I reboot or restart the deluge service the webui password gets reset to the default "deluge" I of course immediately change it but only to change again on next reboot. The thin client is not affected by this and it continues to work just fine. Any ideas?

Likely permission issue for creating or updating web.conf in config

Thanks..that makes sense..i looked at the permissions of web.conf and I noticed that only the owner (deluge) had rw, the group had none and neither did others. I run deluge as my login user so I have no permission to edit that file. I added rw permissions to the group (deluge) which my login user belongs to so that should now work. Again, thank you.
