transmission-web not work on freebsd

[yokodzun]

When I try connect to WebUI via http://1.2.3.4:9091/transmission/web/ i see:

Code: Select all

404: Not Found

Couldn't find Transmission's web interface files!

But I see all needed files:

Code: Select all

root@xxxx # ls /usr/local/share/transmission/web/ 
LICENSE     images      index.html  javascript  stylesheets

I try set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to /usr/local/share/transmission/web/, but without any result.

System: FreeBSD foo.bar.net 7.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4

Code: Select all

root@xxxx ~ # pkg_info | grep trans
transmission-daemon-1.75 A fast and lightweight daemon BitTorrent client
transmission-web-1.75 A fast and lightweight WebUI for Transmission BitTorrent cl

Can anyone have same problem?

Hello,

I've been strugling with this as well.
Just to make sure you did things right to the following:
Using bash:

Code: Select all

[user@yoshi ~]$ TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME="/usr/local/share/transmission/web/"
[user@yoshi ~]$ export TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME

Next make sure that your web folder is readable by the user under which transmission will run.
After an update I noticed permission were set to 700 and user/group to root:wheel
I set it to 755 as it hold no sensitive information:

Code: Select all

[root@yoshi ~]# chmod -R 755 /usr/local/share/transmission/web/

Then start transmission daemon. Be sure to include any IP-address you'll be connection from to the command line (or config file?)

Code: Select all

[user@yoshi ~]$ /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.* -w /<download_folder>

Then to test things go to http://<ip-address>:9091
You could ofcourse add these actions to a shell script, but as you neved need to repeat these step (since FreeBSD is never rebooted ) I'm too lazy to do so.

Good luck!
