Error Permission Denied - transmission-daemon web [Solved]

Post by eshmalak »

After a lot of pain, i was back with my server for try my old server after 10 years... so a lot of things was changed.
The better solutions and work for all the cases

Steps

Stop Service

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl stop transmission-daemon 
Create the new dir for your downloads inside /home , not in the dir user /home/(user), why? inside dir home you need give him rwx to all the path... so is not a good idea, the new code was changed for this requirements, or u cant put inside/mnt or / dirs. but we perm rwx in his above dirs... so

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /home/download-dir-transmission-daemon
Write the setting.json

Code: Select all

 sudo vim /etc>/transmssion-daemon/settings.json
write new path for download-dir option

Code: Select all

"download-dir": "/home/download-dir-transmission-daemon"
add your user login to the group debian-transmission

Code: Select all

 sudo useradd -a -G debian-transmission <your-username>
note: your can do this in the manual mode like sudo vim /etc/group and edit adding the users to the groups do you like, in this case debian-transmission

add the permission rwx to users/groups

Code: Select all

 sudo chmod 775 /home/download-dir-transmission-daemon
add the owner to the new download dir

Code: Select all

 sudo chown debian-transmission:debian-transmission /home/download-dir-transmission-daemon
start the service

Code: Select all

 sudo systemctl start transmission-daemon
