What happened to the old sync thread? Also, my wallet isn't syncing
.
The old sync thread with 488 pages is linked in the first post.
The wallet may not be able to find the location of the directory you created.
I am running the wallet on Windows, but the way to go is after downloading the Qt zip file and unpacking the wallet,
to simply run it (it will likely not be able to sync) and close it once it shows its main screen.
Then find where the Qt has created the directory with the wallet.dat file.
For Windows, this is the directory for the Users data: users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\sync
in that same directory, add the sync.conf file with the contents that is shown in the first posting as configuration.
Then my Qt wallet started syncing immediately upon restart.
Success!
