Deluge Daemon not starting Ubuntu 16.04

Hello

I followed the instructions on http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... ce/systemd to configure Deluge however the Deluge daemon is not starting. It is not even writing to the log files.

The web service is working properly. I created the deluge user and group and enabled the service using

Code: Select all

systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/deluged.service
The following is my deluged.service file:

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=deluge
Group=deluge
UMask=007

ExecStart=/usr/bin/deluged -d -l /var/log/deluge/daemon.log -L warning

Restart=on-failure

# Configures the time to wait before service is stopped forcefully.
TimeoutStopSec=300

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

However this the text I get when I do a status:

Code: Select all

XXXXX@lois:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl status deluged
● deluged.service - Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon

Jul 31 22:36:34 lois systemd[1]: deluged.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Jul 31 22:36:34 lois systemd[1]: Failed to start Deluge Bittorrent Client Daemon.
Again, it doesn't even write to the log file.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure no other deluge services exist and check systemd log

Hi Cas

Sorry to be dense, but what's the best way to check if there are other deluge services and what's the best way to check the systemd log? I am just starting out with Ubuntu...

Thanks.

never mind - it was a newbie error

I installed deluge and deluge-web BUT not deluged.

Sorry.
