G'day All,
Forgive the newbie question. I'm trying to run Transmission in headless mode via the web interface. I can access the interface on the sever itself via localhost:9091 but I cannot access it from another host on the LAN. The machines can communicate otherwise. I have set "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false but cannot connect via IP:port.
Any suggestions as to where to look next?
Ta,

Re: Cannot access web interface inside LAN
It was a firewall issue.
Re: Cannot access web interface inside LAN
Assuming that your computer isn't running a firewall on its own. You're not able to access the interface from another host because the default settings only local access (only the host machine).
In the config file: /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
rpc-whitelist "127.0.0.1,*.*.*.*"
Add in the following: *.*.*.* to allow ANY ip to access the web interface, or set it for your local network; for example, 192.168.*.*.
Finally, reload your configuration changes. DO NOT restart the service, it will undo your changes.
service transmission-daemon reload
