deluged will not work without --port=58846 --config=/home/de

Post by odinian »

Hello,

I'm building a new Ubuntu 12.04 server. I built the server, updated everything, then install deluge, deluged, and deluge-web. I started a user "allan" (my name). I played around a bit, then decided to create a user "deluge" to provide a little abstraction/protection. I created the deluge user, made sure it has a home directory, created the file in /etc/defaults, then created the file in /etc/init.d as per http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-t ... dless.html

The problem is when I manually start the daemon from the connection dialog, it all works and I see "--port=58846 --config=/home/deluge/.config/deluge" in ps -ef output. When I stop the daemon and start it with the init.d file, I only see "-d" in the ps -ef output, and the clients cannot connect to the daemon. :-(

I can manually add "--port=58846 --config=/home/deluge/.config/deluge" in the init.d file and it all works, but that just doesn't seem right.

I must be missing a file where some value was set wrong when I set stuff up, but I cannot for the life of me figure out which file. Any ideas? YOur help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Allan

Don't use init.d on 12.04 use upstart instead: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... t%20Job%29
