2.42 Transmission Web UI continues to disconnect

[Mac1977]

Hi all,

When I start Transmission, it connects for about 2-3minutes but then returns a message stating "Failed to connect" and then stalls completely. When I view Transmission in Frontview (i.e. raidar 4.18) on my Readynas Duo, the status does not have a green light but when I select and save, the states the service has started.

I've checked my json settings and the only one which may be incorrect to me was the port number which was set to 8181. I attempted to set this to 9091 as per what I've read on other forums, but then I was unable to start Transmission in Frontview.

Please can someone advise as I would like to continue using Transmission.

Thanks

You have to see if connecting to the Web client kills the daemon.

That's one possible explanation of the reason you don't see the daemon even if it was started (i.e. it crashed).

If crashing is the problem then the solution is in the FAQ: Specific Configuration on NASes.

Thanks for the quick response.

Do you know how I check if the daemon is crashing?

Usually you have to login into the NAS using a terminal and ssh or telnet, and run "ps -ef" which output a list of all the processes running, if transmission-daemon is not on the list it means it crashed.
