Transmission don't start again after stop command

Hello everyone!

Well, I configured the Transmission WebUI and it worked fine, I run the command on init.d to stop and change the settings.json.
When I tried to put it on back again, returned me the error that "debian-transmission" user do not exist.

This happened before and the only way for repair are re-installing Transmission-Daemon.
When I re-install, I copied the "transmission-daemon" from /etc/init.d/, compared the codes and are the same.

Anyone help me fixing it ?

Thanks.

If you are using a Debian package, shouldn't you report this problem to the Debian maintainer?

There are 3 interesting points in your description:
  1. User debian-transmission doesn't exist. That means the installer didn't do its job.
  2. You are using /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon. That was added to the installer; its not part of transmission.
  3. You changed settings.json. That could mean that you messed up the file in a way that transmission can't start (see the log for other messages).

I tried everything and nothing happens.
I don`t know, but when the transmission is running, downloading and uploading, and I run the command /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop, it seems linke corrupt the archives.

Anyone knows why ?
