Apache and Transmission Daemon

[fifou]

Hi !

First of all, I beg you to apologize my poor english :S

I write here because I have some issues with the correct use of Apache to access to my Web interface Transmission...

After reading some subjects here, I copy/paste and edit my Apache conf like that :

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
	RewriteEngine on
	ServerName transmission.my_domain.fr

	RewriteRule /transmission[/]?$ /transmission/web [R=permanent]

	# Forward all requests for /transmission to transmission-daemon
	ProxyPass /transmission http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission
	ProxyPassReverse /transmission http://127.0.0.1:9091/transmission

	<Location /transmission>

	   Order Allow,Deny
	   Allow from All

	   # Make pictures, scripts and styling client-cacheable
	   <IfModule expires_module>
	      ExpiresActive On
	      ExpiresByType image/gif A43200
	      ExpiresByType image/png A43200
	      ExpiresByType application/javascript A43200
	      ExpiresByType text/css A43200
	   </IfModule>

	</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Of course, I had to tape http://transmission.my_domain.fr/transmission to obtain the result I expect. I would have to tape only http://transmission.my_domain.fr (because I specially did a CNAME for it) but I didn't manage to change the good directives in my configuration... I switch between problem to rewrite the url or proble "409 : conflict"...

Is anybody to help me ? Thank you for reading.

Regards,
Phil.

I don't think you want that RewiteRule line in there.

Remove it and I think it should work if you visit http://transmission.my_domain.fr/transmission/web

Hi Azquelt,

I'm sure you're right but I should have wrong described my need : I wish access to the web interface by visiting http://transmission.my_domain.fr/ (without a particular path below since I have a special CNAME...).

Do you think it is possible ?

Regards,
Phil.

Yeah, just add a Redirect line.

Something like

Code: Select all

Redirect permanent / /transmission/web

should do the trick.

See also http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mo ... l#redirect

I'm pretty sure that the transmission web interface needs to be at /transmission/web and /transmission/api to work properly (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but that line will add a redirect so that accessing http://transmission.mydomain.fr/ will redirect you to the transmission interface.

A good solution and its documentation in one message

I really thank you Azquelt. It works fine now.

Regards,
Phil.

Hi all.

Is there any way to proxy transmission to be available from different location (and from there only)? What I want to achieve is

1. Transmission is accessible through http://my.domain.com/tmclient (this can redirect to http://my.domain.com/tmclient/web or http://my.domain.com/tmclient/transmission/web - I don't care as long as it stays inside http://my.domain.com/tmclient/)

2. All other 'direct' links are NOT accessible (e.g. http://my.domain.com/transmission, http://my.domain.com/transmission/web, http://my.domain.com/transmission/rpc)
