Fail to load conf file, transmission want to create his own folder

Post by pepsy »

Hello everyone.
Long story short after upgrading from ubuntu server 16 to 18.04 LTS transmission won't allow me to access the WebUI. I dig in a little and turns out it kinda fail to load/ignore the conf file in my home, the one in /etc/transmission-daemon (that is, in fact, a link to the one in my home).
From systemctl status transmission-daemon.service

Code: Select all

 Main PID: 1602 (transmission-da)

   CGroup: /system.slice/transmission-daemon.service

.
I don't want transmission to create "his" home folder and put a conf in it.
I tried to change the user on the service, on the file on /etc/init and /etc/init.d/ and relative folder where he should have access. It's exactly the same.
I'm forgetting something or is it a bug? Found close to none on the internet(only one with my same problem, but no solution/response)
Thanks
