I have been having persistent problems with Transmission accessing the web gui.

 

Exact same problem as described here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11856.0

 

"403 Forbidden" blah blah check rpc-white list.

 

I have tried whitelist set to false, whitelist set to true and then things like "*.*.*.*", "192.168.1.*" any other idea's??

 

Can someone please post a copy of their settings file so i can try it in my setup?

I too am stuck with the same issue.  I've edited the settings.json file for my IP address a dozen times, and it never "sticks".  It seems when I stop and start Transmission using the unMenu script, it overwrites it and resets it back to:

 

"rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",

"rpc-whitelist-enabled": true

 

If I go into custom/tranmission/tranmission_conf, I can find the correct settings.json file that unmenu establishes, but the trouble is, I can't make it "take" those settings.  Is something wrong with the startup script "transctl"?  I noticed another thread where this was mentioned, but it looks like that bug was fixed.

 

Or should the settings file be in a different directory? Any help is much appreciated!

I was having the same problem at first, until I realized I was trying to modify the settings while Transmission was running.  I found that Transmission writes to the conf file again on shutdown (overwriting all the changes I'd made).  Once I discovered that, I made all my changes with Transmission shut down, then started it back up.  Settings took that time.

I was sure I tried that and just re-tried to no avail.  But I believe I have solved the issue.  (This might mean there is a bug in unMenu..not sure)

 

When unMenu installs the package it starts up Transmission automatically.

 

It puts two files in custom/tranmission/tranmission_conf containing the same data, and containing the list of settings shown on the Transmission Install page:

settings.json

settings.local

 

However, in the custom/transmission folder, there exists the settings.json file that contains the default values (I presume), and the 127.0.0. etc incorrect values.  This is what transmission is using.

 

To fix this, I stopped Transmission.  Deleted the settings file in the custom/transmission folder, then copied the two files from the transmission_conf folder into the custom/transmission folder.  Restarted Transmission.    Now I can access the GUI page! 

 

 

 

I've been having the same problem, but rather than delete the files I just opened them up and changed them, then saved them and blam-o everything works.

Are any of you using the newest version of the .conf file attached to the first post in this thread.

Are any of you using the newest version of the .conf file attached to the first post in this thread.

 

Yup, I am and I followed the instructions on the first post for deleting previous installs as well before installing.

Are any of you using the newest version of the .conf file attached to the first post in this thread.

 

Finally got it to work by changing the config manually. Like others have said the settings (rpc-whitelist) will revert back to "true" after changing in the GUI.

 

Manually changing it in notepad worked fine

 

Was using the latest version

I will look at it in a couple of days.  I may have fat fingered something that is causing this... not sure.  I have to put the finishing touches on the updated Airvideo package and test it out before I come back to this one.

Could somebody please tell me the procedure to installed Transmission manually as it is no longer on unmenu.

 

I have a cache drive ready to go with a .downloads folder ready for it to be installed in.

 

Many thanks in advance for anybody that help me with the commands.

Download the package attached to the first post in this thread and place it in the packages folder on the flash drive

Thank you. :)

I had a chance to look into this today and I can not recreate the problem on my test machine.  From a clean install everything seems to be working fine.

 

If I get some more time to look into it I will, but not being able to recreate the problem leaves me at a little bit of a stand still.

  • 2 weeks later...

I am a little confused by the installation process for Transmission. It didn't work the first time so I started fresh, re-installed unMenu and re-downloaded the transmission package after replacing the existing transmission-unmenu-package.conf file with the one attached to the first post in this thread.

 

I didn't touch any of the config files and tried to access the WebUI just to see if it was running but got a 403. As far as the config file tells me the rpc-whitelist-enable value is false so I shouldn't be getting a 403 right?

Alright, I edited the config after seeing that the rpc-whitelist was enabled via debug output despite its value being set to false and changed it to true and added my home IP range. Now it looks as if the remote control is not running at all. The page gives an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when I try to load it.

 

My config file contains the following: PACKAGE_VARIABLE rpc-whitelist||vRPC_WHITELIST=127.0.0.*,10.20.30.*|

 

Hmm, I just tried to stop Transmission via the User Scripts page and got an error that no transmission-daemon was running... unRAID says the package is downloaded and installed yet it is not running? Is there a basic install tutorial somewhere? This seems a lot harder than it needs to be.

Any workaround to how I can choose download dir? Or any other torrent clients available? What and how are you guys using torrent clients?

I was using transmission but I plan to move away from it. I have found that when there are very few peers transmission struggles to start if scrape isnt working 100%. In my setup that is important and rTorrent works much better at it.

Any workaround to how I can choose download dir?

I don't know.  I have never bothered to try and change the download directory for an individual torrent.  I download to 1 specific folder and then when download is complete copy that file to the correct location.  I seed from the original file for as long as I need to before deleting it.

 

Or any other torrent clients available? What and how are you guys using torrent clients?

There are, though I do not know which ones might work/not work on unRAID.  I am using the Transmission package for downloading all my torrents.

Thanks.

 

I found a workaround for the download dir: you can set virtual paths in "Transmission Remote GUI". Downloadable from google code. Works great so far.

 

Is it common for the syslog to:

 

Jun 30 19:11:31 Tower transmission-daemon[20625]: Saved "/mnt/disk1/torrents/transmission/transmission_conf/resume/IMAXDocumentaryCollectionPack1080p.2c289fc823421ba1.resume" (bencode.c:1651)
ission_conf/resume/Mini.XXX.Pack.PROPER.DVDRip.XviD-SCC.5f44e081cf6f71d9.resume" (bencode.c:1651)
Jun 30 19:11:32 Tower transmission-daemon[20625]: Saved "/mnt/disk1/torrents/transmission/transmission_conf/stats.json" (bencode.c:1651) 

 

 

And do that every 2 minutes? Will fill up pretty fast as soon as I start torrenting for real.. 100+ rows every 2 min will fill the syslog pretty fast?

Yes, the defualt logging level is chatty.  Even the "lower" log level is to chatty for my liking.  I gave you the ability to turn down/off the logging via the install package.  Take a look through the all the variables again and you should find it.

Thanks. I appreciate your help and input very much! Keep up the good work!

Anybody running this on the 5.0-beta (7 etc)?

Anybody running this on the 5.0-beta (7 etc)?

 

I have it running on 5.0b6a just fine.  There is some issues with it running as root under 5.0bX and I know about it but I have not had the time to adjust it as of yet.  All functionality still works regardless.

Had a power outage last night, of course no UPS when the system finished the parity check I try to get to the transmission webgui and get this:

 

403: Forbidden

 

Unauthorized IP Address.

 

Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.

 

If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries.

 

If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details.

 

no settings were changed can you help me?
