Multi user - Debian 8 Transmission not working

Post by ewan34 »

I have installed Transmission on a debian 8.
I have created 1 user, It's okay, this user can connect to the transmission web interface and download.
For a friend, I want to create another user ( I have a tuto for that ). And , surprise !
After create user, and configure his option, my friend cannot access to his web interface because I can't start or restart transmission service.
When I need to do :

Code: Select all

service transmission-daemon-userx start 
, I have this error

Code: Select all

Failed to restart transmission-daemon-userx.service: Unit transmission-daemon-userx.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
Okay, I have created another user to test again, and I obtain the same result.

Can you explain why it doesn't work, and how can I resolve it .
Thanks

I run multiple instances of Transmission, on the same user account.

I simply duplicate the config directory like so:

/home/user/.config/transmission-daemon
/home/user/.config/transmission-daemon01
/home/user/.config/transmission-daemon02 etc

Then I change the rpc ports in each config, so I can access them on different ports.

To launch use: transmission-daemon -g ~/.config/transmission-daemon && transmission-daemon -g ~/.config/transmission-daemon01 && transmission-daemon -g ~/.config/transmission-daemon02
