------------------------+---------------------
On a fresh install of Debian 10 stable test environment
{{{
root@debian-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster
}}}
First downloading via `apt-get install deluged` and `apt-get install
deluge-web`
{{{
root@debian-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01:~# deluge-web --version
deluge-web: 1.3.15
libtorrent: 1.1.11.0
}}}
{{{
root@debian-s-1vcpu-1gb-ams3-01:~# deluged --version
deluged: 1.3.15
libtorrent: 1.1.11.0
}}}
Then following the [https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how-to
/systemd-service.html official guide] step by step on
to set up services works for `deluged` but does not work for `deluge-web`.
Everything looks file until this command for checking the status

works yet.

Comment (by totavent43):
Edit: the above log contained my own debug flag, hence the line
{{{
Process: 461 ExecStart=/usr/bin/strace -f /usr/bin/deluge-web -l
/var/log/deluge/web.log -L debug (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
}}}
Which by the way, did not make any logs.
Since this is not in the official guide, I remove the debug flag and ran
it again. Here is the result

Comment (by Calajese):
Appears to be that the issue #3090 has somehow appeared again.[[BR]]
Remove the "-d" in the "ExecStart=" line from "/etc/systemd/system/deluge-
web.service" and run the commands "sudo systemctl daemon-reload" and "sudo
systemctl restart deluge-web".

Comment:
The service file in the docs is for Deluge 2.0 that introduced the `-d` to
damonize web like deluged so of course is not valid for running Deluge 1.3
