[SOLVED - KIND OF] Installing btsync

[triplemaya]

Could someone please walk me through installing and running btsync with a gui on lmde 2.

I have installed in on my old box some time ago. Everything is fine.

On the second computer I have gone through the installation process, and set up the username and password for 127.0.0.1:8888/gui

But then it brings up the browser with 127.0.0.1:9999/gui. And this does not accept this username and password. And I cannot log in on 127.0.0.1:8888/gui either.

I have gone round and round in circles, stopping btsync, deleting the files in .config, uninstalling, and reinstalling. I have installed the gtk version, and uninstalled it. I have tried every combination I can think of!!

update

I got btsync working. Somehow. I tried so many things i cannot remember what worked.

So I went back to the working computer and added a directory.

I got a dialog where I received a URL for authentication.

I went back to the new install computer and put in the URL

This brought up a message asking me to update to 2.0

I followed the instructions here:

https://www.resilio.com/platforms/desktop/

Then I went back to the page where it says:

Once Sync is installed, click below to get the folder.

This gives me the error message:

The address wasn't understood

Pale Moon doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (btsync) isn't associated with any program.

WHAT THE ****? I have just followed all the instructions, which installs resilio sync, so it is hardly surprising that btsync is not recognized, but the resilio interface does not understand?

Solved, kind of.
Just us Syncthing instead.
It just works.
