deluge+json error?, daemon wont start

[kas]

Hello,

Deluge 1.3.3-2 off unstable on Debian Squeeze

When I try to start the deluge daemon from the webui this shows up in screen:

Code: Select all

Any ideas?

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It cannot create a config directory possibly because you are running as a user without a home directory.

Also you do not need to use screen, simply use '-f' to fork to background.

I have tried both running it as a user with a home directory and as root. Same errors for both.

Any other ideas?

Attached is contents of: /home/user/.config/deluge

Not sure what the deal was but ended up building from source and all is good now.
