Transmission 1.76 Error 403 Forbidden from WebGUI

Post by beartenor1 »

Here is a paradox I can't figure out.

From the command line:
> sudo -u transmission /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /path/to/config/files

The WebGUI works perfectly.


Inside the init.d script:
Either
/sbin/startproc -vs -u transmission /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /path/to/config/files
Or
sudo -u transmission /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --config-dir /path/to/config/files

The WebGUI gets 403 Forbidden whitelist errors.

I can't figure out what the problem is. Why does it work from the command line and not inside an init.d script? What's the difference?
