permission denied

Post by herrt »

hi

i have some issues using transmission-daemon.
here some facts about my system:
ubuntu server 8.10
transmission 1.42 from this repo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu intrepid main

then i followed this howto http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts/initd

but when i try to download a torrent, transmission always complains about a permission denied error.

it seems that transmission is using the root folder / as download folder.
editing the download folder var in /home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json does not help.

here my settings.json

Code: Select all

{
    "blocklist-enabled": 0, 
    "download-dir": "\/home\/transmission\/Downloads", 
    "download-limit": 100, 
    "download-limit-enabled": 0, 
    "encryption": 1, 
    "max-peers-global": 200, 
    "peer-port": 51413, 
    "pex-enabled": 1, 
    "port-forwarding-enabled": 0, 
    "rpc-access-control-list": "+127.0.0.1", 
    "rpc-authentication-required": 0, 
    "rpc-password": "", 
    "rpc-port": 9091, 
    "rpc-username": "", 
    "upload-limit": 100, 
    "upload-limit-enabled": 0
}
any hints ?

thank you,
herrt
