Hello,
i'm trying to configure transmission to change its folders and also enable access to its web from remote ip.
Can you hint me on which file i have to edit?

Thank you

Hi,

configuration file for transmission is located on:

/mnt/<current_fs>/Alt-F/var/lib/transmission/settings.json

Example:
/mnt/sdb2/Alt-F/var/lib/transmission/settings.json

Stop the service first. Edit file and run it again.

I remember a while ago, I edited this file, and the whistelist was never updated.

I tried again, stopping the services, changing this file, and the "rpc-whitelist" was still with the original IP defined there.

I tried changing to *.*.*.* or 0.0.0.0, and when restart the service, it goes back to the original IP.

Weird thing is, I was able to change the username, password and download folder without any problem. Why the rpc address has this issue?

I would like to access the Transmission externally, like before Alt-F....

Thanks!

I was able to update my user and password, but the 


"rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1,192.168.0.*",

Please don't do that. Read the README.txt at /mnt/<current_fs>/Alt-F/ (or just /Alt-F)

Everything under /Alt-F is mapped under '/', so you can find the file under /var/lib/transmission/settings.json and that is the *right* way. For more details see the "How to Customize wiki"

The issue at question: the real file is /etc/transmission/transmission.conf and /var/lib/transmission/settings.json should be just a link to the real thing.
The rctransmission script, when run, tries to make the link right.

Hello,

thank you for your answers.
I have read the wiki and think these are the correct steps:
  1. aufs.sh -n
  2. Edit: /var/lib/transmission/settings.json
  3. aufs.sh -r
Can you confirm?

Thank you

No.
You can edit  /var/lib/transmission/settings.json directly. You only need the aufs.sh -n/aufs.sh -r thing if you have to edit anything under /Alt-F (which you shouldn't need, as /Alt-F/any-path is available as /any-path).

Regarding Transmission: stop Transmission using the webUI or 'rctransmission stop' edit /etc/transmission/transmission.conf and remove /var/lib/transmission/settings.json. Then start transmission either though the webUI or using the initscript, 'rctransmission start', which will/should create the correct link. This is how it should look at the end:

[root@DNS-325]# ls -l /var/lib/transmission/settings.json
lrwxrwxrwx    1 transmis BT              35 Jun 26  2014 /var/lib/transmission/settings.json -> /etc/transmission/transmission.conf
 
[root@DNS-325]# ls -l /etc/transmission/transmission.conf 
-rw-r--r--    1 transmis BT            2196 May  2 15:27 /etc/transmission/transmission.conf

The 'rctransmission' script, which is a shortcut to the real init script file /etc/init.d/S81transmission, will make some changes to your configuration. Edit  /etc/init.d/S81transmission to suit your needs.
