Cannot access web gui through hostname only IP
Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2018 4:26 pm
Hello,
I have Transmission Daemon installed on a headless Ubuntu server 16.04 LTS. From the time I installed it (back when the LTS was 14.04), I could access it by using the hostname in the browser address box: (http://<hostname>:9091/transmission/web/) I recently ran an update and now I can only access it with the IP: (http://192.168.x.x:9091/transmission/web/). When I try to use the hostname I get the: "Connection FailedCould not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect" pop-up. I am using Transmission 2.84 (14307). As a note, I can ping via hostname. Also Sabnzbd, and sickrage, which are also running on the same server can be accessed via hostname.
More info, I could access it from ANY device as long as I was in the network (home)
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Rob
