Transmission web ui cant add .torrent files

Post by egalitarian »

I'm using CentOS 6.8, Transmission version: 2.92. If I add .torrent file using my browser plugin it works but if I try to upload it using the web ui it's not doing anything. There's no error or any log entry. What can have gone wrong and how can I debug this problem?
Thanks

No, I downloaded it first locally and tried to add it.

Just tested adding .torrent via url: it works! But if I download the same torrent locally and upload it it does nothing. Very strange...

To be more clear: "Choose file..." and then "Upload" is what's not working.

Just tried the same torrents with Transmission 2.92 on macOS and it works fine.

My daemon user (checked using top) matches my transmission home and my download dir. I've added --log-debug to the starting params but I don't see any log entry when I try to upload a torrent. If I add a torrent using url an entry correctly appears in the log. It's like it ignores completely the upload.

I'm trying to use it but it's not working. That's why I'm posting here. Probably there's a misunderstanding:
1. Web UI -> Open -> Enter URL -> Upload - working ok
2. Web UI -> Open -> Choose Local File -> Upload - not working
3. maOS App -> Open -> Choose Local File -> Upload - working ok
Web UI and daemon version 2.92 running on CentOS 6.8. maOS App version 2.92 running on macOS Sierra. I've tried with public torrents e.g. http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6 ... so.torrent

Well I've noticed this in my browser console when I'm trying to open files:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 409 (Conflict)
http://***:9091/transmission/upload?paused=false
What could be causing this?
