Transmission can't access web interface

[igniussako]

Hi,

I couldn't find any valuable information necessary to solve my problem so decided to post a thread here.

I'm having problems using Transmission 2.83 which I download and install through STB.
I cannot access the web interface through http://myboxip:9091. The browser says Unable to connect

The transmission version was downloaded from http://ipkserver.hdmedia-universe.com/sh4new/enigma2-plugin-extensions-transmission_2.83_sh4.ipk
My STB is Amiko Alien 8900
My STB is using HDMU 13139 enigma2 Git 3318

The part of configuration file is below (maybe I need to change something here?)
LINE="--------------------------------------"
TRANSMISSION_ON=0
NAME="transmission-daemon"
DAEMON="/usr/bin/nice -n 9 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon"
DIRECTORY="/hdd/transmission"
RPC_PORT=9091
DOWNLOAD_DIR="/hdd/transmission/download"
CONFIG_DIR="/hdd/transmission/config"
WATCH_DIR="/hdd/transmission/watch"
USER="root"
PASSWORD="dreambox"
ARGS="-c $WATCH_DIR -g $CONFIG_DIR -a *.*.*.* -w $DOWNLOAD_DIR -p $RPC_PORT -t -u $USER -v $PASSWORD"
INET_ADDR=`awk '/address/{print$2}' /etc/network/interfaces`
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME="/usr/share/transmission/web/"

After I start the transmission it only says:

SPARK:~# /etc/init.d/transmissiond start
starting transmission-daemon...

--------------------------------------
Transmission Started !!!
Open your browser at http://:9091
--------------------------------------

But I cannot access transmission web interface by entering 192.168.1.*:9091
Tried differente browser, tried changing ports and forwarding, without firewall, tried reinstall and restart transmission, but still the same "Unable to connect"

Is there a way to solve this problem?
Does anyone else have had this problem and solved it?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply.
You mean to change the password from dreambox to HDMU.
I have just tried to do this, saved the file, reboot STB, restart Transmition, but still no access through 192.168.1.*:9091

Any other ideas?
Thank you

If you haven't fixed your problem (or for others...) have you tried changing the config line:

INET_ADDR=`awk '/address/{print$2}' /etc/network/interfaces`

From the output,

--------------------------------------
Transmission Started !!!
Open your browser at http://:9091
--------------------------------------

it seems you may be using DHCP, so it does not know what your IP address is.

If you know your address, you can just insert it in the config, or you can try something like:

INET_ADDR=`ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2|cut -d' ' -f1`

Servus,

habe hier auf einem neu geflashten HDMU Image auf Golden Media Spark Reloaded das gleiche Fehlerbild. (Aber bei mir gibt's ne fixe IP, die der transmission auch erkennt)
Die Meldung wegen dem erfolgreichen Start kommt, aber ich kann transmissiond direkt danach einfach nochmal starten und es kommt keine Beschwerde, dass der daemon schon liefe.
Was das Programm gemacht hat, war, die drei Ordner unter /hdd anzulegen.


netstat -tln
zeigt auch keinen Dienst auf 9091 an


/etc/init.d/transmissiond enable
bringt:

/etc/init.d/transmissiond: line 73: update-rc.d: not found

Hier endet mein Latein.

edit: Sorry, I missed the fact that this was the english subforum
translation:

same problem appearing here on a GM Spark Reloaded with freshly flashed HDMU Image. (Apart from having a fixed IP)
After the "successful" start, I can instantly start again and no error message occurs.
The programm created three folders below /hdd

edit2: another interesting thing

SPARK:~# transmission-daemon
/usr/bin/transmission-daemon: line 1:EL▒▒@4▒P4: not found
/usr/bin/transmission-daemon: line 6: syntax error: unexpected "(" (expecting ")")

update-rc.d doesn't exist on spark build, it does not startup using runlevels. the startup is done via the script /etc/init.d/rcS - you can edit this file to add a line to start tranmission on startup. Don't know about other problems - I am not using transmission.

problem persists :/
until I am able to do serial logging: can someone recreate this? spark7111 - fresh hdmu img - transmission plugin -> no transmissiond running.

thanks joeuser for this information.
