Deluge Forum

Hello everyone, I bought a dedicated server not too long ago that has ubuntu 24 running on it, had deluge installed and it was working perfectly, suddenly it stopped and all efforts to get it running has been futile. I've reinstalled it several times but i still get the same error day in and day out.

This is what i get when i check the status of deluge on my server. Any help gesture to get deluge up and running will be greatly appreciated, thank you,

Please post output from these two lines thanks:

sudo systemctl cat deluged
sudo systemctl cat deluge-web

Also, can you run it by itself fine through sudo -u deluge deluged? Change the username right after the '-u' if not deluge.

Thanks(sometimes deluge-web are dependent with deluged). Can you run without systemd, with the sudo command listed in my last post. Also where deluge from, ppa or deb repo etc. The deluge deb package uses by default a Debian-deluged user and path, but you have yourself made deluge user right, as per your own systemd service, so followed e.g :https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... rvice.html ? I have tested deluge on ubuntu 24 before btw, in previous forum posts here.

Thank you i am a newbie to ubuntu but i will try and let you know, than you for the help
