Web UI on a headless ubuntu server 9.04
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:43 am
Hey Guys,
I am new to the command line environment and have recently setup a ubuntu server 9.04 for learning purpose.
After spending a lot (read LOT) of hours I have still not been able to use Transmission web UI. I get error
--------------------------------------------------start------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
401: Unauthorized
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.
======================================end===========================================================
Here is how I set Transmission up and some other details to help you help me...
I setup transmission using sudo apt-get install transmission
then I setup a user transmission without password
I also edited the file /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon and updated USER transmission
I changed the file /home/transmission/.config/transmission/settings.json and made rpc-whitelist-enabled 0 and rpc whitelist *.*.*.*
then I retarted transmission
I still get the same error
Here is a dump when I run transmission-daemon --debug -si
-----------------------------------------------------------------------start-----------------------------------------------------------
* Couldn't find host localhost in the .netrc file, using defaults
* About to connect() to localhost port 9091 (#0)
* Trying ::1... * Unknown error 111

============================================end======================================================
I am unsure as to what I can do next???
Please please if you could help I would really appreciate it.
I must warn you though that I am not an advanced linux user but can follow instructions well.
Thankyou
