Connection reset remotely, but works locally

When I try to reach the web interface locally (domain.local) everything works fine:

~ $ curl user:pass@domain.local:9091/transmission/web/
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
…
…

But when used remotely (domain.com) all I get is a connection refused and my SSH-version:

Code: Select all

~ $ curl user:pass@domain.com:9091/transmission/web/
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

I think it all started when there was some SSH-related bug in Transmission, which was fixed by installing a newer version of the openssh-package (or ssh-package) from the Debian-repo. But I can't seem to find the thread again. And openssh has been upgraded several times since then, so it should've been replaced by a newer package from the Ubuntu-repo a long time ago.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with transmission-daemon 2.60. ssh, openssh-client and openssh-server are all of the latest version.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, but unfortunately none of those links were helpful. Or I might be missing something…? SSH works fine on the server for everything except Transmissions web interface and the server is far from overloaded, resource or network wise.

Any other thoughts? I read that Transmission runs Apache2 as it's web server… Where can I find it's vhost/configuration files?

Nevermind. I solved it by proxy pass it to my already running nginx on the server.

For others looking for a similar solution, I added the following to my server block of the site:

Code: Select all

        location /transmission {
                proxy_pass http://domain.local:9091/transmission;
        }

Transmission
