How to Run Deluge

[gw1500se]

I am having trouble understanding how to run deluge (CentOS 7). I thought 'deluged' should be started as root using it as a service. When I do that and run deluge-web, also as root, I am unable to connect or start the daemon as non-root. If I start deluge-web as non root, it will not start because address is already in use. If I start 'deluged' as non-root, I then have password issues trying to connect from the browser. What is the correct way to start the various pieces so that any user can connect via browser and use deluge? TIA.

Each distribution has things set up slightly different. I don't use CentOS So I can't comment on the specifics of it, but I did find this guide with a quick google search.

Thanks for the reply but I found that as well. It doesn't really explain how to enable deluge for all non-root users.

Deluged is never run as root, and usually it's run from e.g. systemd like the guide shryp linked to, and in the systemd servicefile for deluged there is defined which username to run deluged under, normally user 'deluge'. Anyway, the error you get when running deluged directly from command-line as "not root", is probably because deluged is already running, so try 'sudo pkill deluged ' and then try 'deluged' again.

Yes, I really meant the user 'deluge'. In any case I think I have it figured out now.
