Torrent list empty after restart

[sassycat]

Hi Guys,

Newbie here, just switched over to Deluge from Rtorrent and generally I like it better, even if it has less plugins. Don't know anyone using Deluge on linux, so please bear with me.

I installed Deluge using this fairly new guide: http://www.filesharingguides.com/torren ... ebian-vps/

After a few days of using it, I decided to restart the server to see if the new port number I assigned would actually work, as well as the start up script at the bottom of the guide, but I was greeted with the default password and a blank torrent list.

This is what my ~/.config/ folder looks: http://puu.sh/dihhG/b7bd0292cf.png - The state folder is filled with with .torrents, a .fastresume and a .state file.

Not sure if turning loggin on would work, it downloads torrents fine now.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

It's likely that Deluge was not shutdown properly when you restarted your server and corrupted the state/resume data.

Thanks, so I take it the steps in the guide was sound?

Is there anything I need to do to remove old files from the previous state?

[Cas]

Well that guide is not very good acutally because it is recommending the old init service, you should just read our guides: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide

I'm not sure what you mean about old files.

Ok, I followed the link and removed the old init stuff but the Upstart won't work, not sure if I edited the deluged.conf file correctly. Config files look like this:

Code: Select all

GNU nano 2.2.6          File: /etc/init/deluged.conf

# deluged - Deluge daemon
#
# The daemon component of Deluge BitTorrent client. Deluge UI clients
# connect to this daemon via DelugeRPC protocol.

start on filesystem and stopped networking
stop on runlevel [016]

respawn
respawn limit 5 30

env uid=sassycat
env gid=sassycat
env umask=007

exec start-stop-daemon -S -c $uid:$gid -k $umask -x /usr/bin/deluged -- -d

Code: Select all

# deluge-web - Deluge Web UI
#
# The Web UI component of Deluge BitTorrent client, connects to deluged and
# provides a web application interface for users. Default url: http://localhost$

start on started deluged
stop on stopping deluged

respawn
respawn limit 5 30

env uid=sassycat
env gid=sassycat
env umask=027

exec start-stop-daemon -S -c $uid:$gid -k $umask -x /usr/bin/deluge-web

It starts then stops shortly after if I go by what "ps -u" gives me. Don't want it on a separate user, so I didn't follow the stuff in 'User Management'.



Can't seed anything atm, so any help is appreciated.

Verify the bin path for deluged and deluge-web is correct. Check upstart logs and also check deluge logs for any issues, these scripts work so double-check you have done everything correctly.

[sassycat]

OK, I restarted the server again just in case and afterwards did the steps in the Upstart guide to enable logging, did them but not sure if they're working and started deluged using the command 'sudo start deluged' and it works fine
now BUT it's using the state it had before it was wiped (first post) the first time (iow a lot of torrents are missing). Not sure what happened.

[Cas]

If the state was corrupted there is no way back from that unless you have backups. The point of using upstart scripts is that it is more likely that it will shutdown Deluge correctly.
