Hello. I'm fairly new to this type of bittorent client ,especially on linux , since i'm dealt with no problems with the desktop version i thought i try the transmission installed on my Ubuntu 9.10 server , since there isn't any good documentation with the headless client i tried with little success to install the transmission with working WebGUI. First i tried to install it by sudo apt-get install transmission , the web gui didn't work , there where at least 2 settings.json files, i edited rpc to 1 and auth to "true" gave it a login an password , edited and enabled the whitelist but still no go , no webUI , always 402, or 403 error with "access denied" "not permitted" etc. Finally i purged all transmission files from the server and installed only the new transmission-daemon , edited with no problem the settings.json files , the daemon started without a problem with -f command , but when i tried to access it with the web browser i got 404 error "no index.html" and something about HOME DOWNLOAD folder ect. i checked the support tickets and forums over here ,there where at least 2 of the same problems ,the daemon was working but no web gui .
I would like to add that i am using NetFramework based windows app for managing the daemon since i can't get into the web ui (since the /web/ folder with these files simply doesnt exist :/ ) by using the Windows Transmission remote i can set everykind of setting ect. it simply works but i would like to know where lies the problem that i cannot get to the web interface.
The exact error page :
Code: Select all
404: Not Found
Couldn't find Transmission's web interface files!
Users: to tell Transmission where to look, set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the folder where the web interface's index.html is located.
Package Builders: to set a custom default at compile time, #define PACKAGE_DATA_DIR in libtransmission/platform.c or tweak tr_getClutchDir() by hand.
Also i noticed the transmission daemon doesn't start with the system, i have to manually run it. Strange.
Thank you in advance.
