Cannot enter WebGUI with Transmission 1.61

Post by 0control »

I have recently installed Transmission 1.61. Eventhough I edit the settings.json file and set the right values, I can not access the WebGUI from specified port. Anyhow, when I enter the standard url (http://192.168.0.185:9091/transmission/webgui (note the port)), it shows up a page that displays the following:
403: Forbidden

Unauthorized IP Address.

Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.

If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries.

If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details.
What should I do to get it right?

EDIT: I have tried both to disable whitelist and whitelist my own ip there.

EDIT2:

I followed the instructions in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... son&page=2

I typed the following in terminal:

Code: Select all

transmission-daemon -p 9091 -f -T -a 192.168.0.185
That made me able to enter the WebGUI. But then, if I try to turn on the normal daemon (sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start) I just get the same error as before.

Any suggestions?
