Web UI won't work on ports below 1024

Post by kwagga »

Hi Guys, Curious question, I've noticed the web interface won't work with any ports below 1024, is there a reason for this? - Is there somewhere I can forcibly change this?

Thanks in advance,

Kwagga

Only root can bind to ports < 1024

Thanks so much Longinus00, much appreciated. Problem Resolved. I didn't even think it would be a permission-level problem.

For future reference:

The solution was to change the settings.json file of the user, with root privilege (i.e sudo transmission-daemon -p x), one will then have to reassign permissions on the file, since the user's daemon won't be able to read it.
