settings.json does not retain encryption setting

[john5788]

Hello,

I am trying to configure transmission to require encryption on all downloads, but I cannot get the setting to persist across restarts of the daemon process.

Code: Select all

olympus john5788 # cat /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json | grep encryption
    "encryption": 1, 
olympus john5788 # nano /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json 
olympus john5788 # cat /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json | grep encryption
    "encryption": 2, 
olympus john5788 # /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon reload
 * Reloading transmission configuration ...                                                                                    [ ok ]
olympus john5788 # cat /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json | grep encryption
    "encryption": 2, 
olympus john5788 # /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
 * Stopping transmission daemon ...                                                                                            [ ok ]
olympus john5788 # cat /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json | grep encryption
    "encryption": 2, 
olympus john5788 # /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
 * Starting transmission daemon ...                                                                                            [ ok ]
olympus john5788 # cat /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json | grep encryption
    "encryption": 1, 

I start off with encryption set to 1. I change the value to 2 and reload the daemon. I can confirm settings.json still retains the value even after stopping. However, once I relaunch the daemon, the setting reverts back to 1. Is this encryption setting being overwritten from somewhere else?

olympus transmission # nano /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json

    "encryption": 2,

olympus transmission # cat /var/lib/transmission/config/settings.json | grep encryption
    "encryption": 1,

Check if your daemon is being started with -ep/--encryption-preferred command line option.
