Transmission 3 Linux - Unable to save torrent file: No such file or directory

[moario]

Hi,
please advise,
I had transmission 2.x on my raspberry pi and uninstalled it and installed v3 by building it on my linux box from the github source.
but I am getting error message when adding a new torrent file I am getting this error message after a few minutes of start downloading:
first error:

Code: Select all

Unable to save torrent file: No such file or directory

second error:

Code: Select all

Unable to save resume file: No such file or directory

and all the folders in /home/pi/.config/transmission-daemon location are empty.
I did register the start up daemon to run at boot by adding a file in

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e

this is what I tried so far but non of those didn't work:

• change the location of meta-data folders by

  Code: Select all

  sudo transmission-daemon -g NEW_DIRECTORY

• set permission to 777 by

  Code: Select all

  sudo chmod 777 -R NEW_DIRECTORY/*.*

• run the transmission-daemon proccess as root user or different user

finally I solve the problem by removing all configuartions from old installation and let the new version create those folder by itself.
