##Instructions for Debian

The following commands are to be executed as root:

1. In tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon.sh file change:

• CFG to where your config file (conf) will be; read rights required
• DAEMON to point to the executable
• PIDFILE to point to a pid file daemon would have rights to create

2. Go over everything in conf. Make sure pid_file_path matches PIDFILE from tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon.sh

3. Execute:

mv tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon.sh /etc/init.d/tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon

(note that we removed .sh ending)

4. Give the right permissions to this file:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon

5. Execute:

update-rc.d tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon defaults

6. Start the service:

service tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon start

7. Verify that the service is running:

service tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon status

You can see daemon's log with

grep "tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon" /var/log/syslog

Note that system log is where you find your public key

###Troubleshooting:

1. Check the log for errors with

grep "tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon" /var/log/syslog

2. Check that paths in the beginning of /etc/init.d/tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon are valid

3. Make sure that PIDFILE from /etc/init.d/tox_dht_bootstrap_server_daemon matches with the pid_file_path from conf

4. Make sure you have write permission to keys and pid files

5. Make sure you have read permission for config file
