Deluge Forum

For the benefit of controlling Deluge remotely, it needs to run under the SYSTEM account.

The SYSTEM account (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile) is not the administrator account (C:\Users\Administrator).
Administrator can fully operate Deluge.
SYSTEM cannot, in particular not the daemon (deluged.exe).


I opened a shell as SYSTEM (run "PSEXEC -i -s CMD" as administrator)

SYSTEM> deluge-1.3.10-win32-setup.exe ---> Success (but AppData\Roaming\deluge is missing)

SYSTEM> deluged.exe ---> FAILURE (no error message, no event log)

Administrator> deluged.exe ---> Success

SYSTEM> deluge.exe ---> Only classic mode, cannot connect to deluged

SYSTEM> deluge-console info

There is a folder C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\deluge
There is no such folder in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming


How can SYSTEM start (and connect to) deluged?
Why is the AppData\Roaming\deluge folder missing?
Is SYSTEM intended to run Deluge?
Does the solution involves configuration or programming?

From the description at
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service
one can build a deluged run by SYSTEM (local admin).

For a deluge-console run by SYSTEM I have no idea.

Hi Cas,
deluge-console happily contacts deluged, both run as SYSTEM (nt authority\system).
Nice, but configuration must be sorted out.

I created a deluged service with nssm.
Arguments: -c C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\deluge
(Looks complicated, but is %APPDATA%\deluge)
This folder remains empty
I found the folder here:
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\deluge\

`deluge-console add lubuntu.iso.torrent` works and saves to
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Downloads\

Nice, but I cannot change the configuration.

`deluge-console info` says
download_location: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Downloads

I edited download_location in
c:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\deluge\core.conf
but my changes are ignored.

I entered the SysWOW64 path in the -c setting of nssm, restarted the service.
No change.

Is this only the configuration of deluged?
Where does deluge-console take its configuration from?

Have you run deluge-console as SYSTEM before?

It sounds like you have two deluged running (with different config locations)

Thank you - today changing the configuration is working like a charm.

Problem was: I did not stopped the daemon *before* editing core.conf - I was not aware that stopping writes back core.conf.
