This is strange!!
your part1 should be swap and not data partition. And it must not be vfat if it is swap!
Did you setup the hdd different from the howto?

What is the output of 'free'?

how to change my listening port?

Hi,

Have a problem with accessing my router's Samba 2 settings on a port 901. Have installed Samba by wengi's tutorial, but than when typing "ps axf", don't see there line with "xinetd". When xinetd is not running, than I can't access 901, right?

Can anyone try to help me?

My output from "ps axf" is:

Hi,

which service?
Generally have a look at the conf files in /opt/etc

wengi

@Kubicz

check your rc.unslung and corresponding xinetd rc file.
Can you start xinetd manually? (with start/stop option?)

Hi wengi,

Thanks a lot, problem solved - it was in a user settings, because I changed my root user, but not changed settings of corresponding files.

Now have another problem, I feel like noob, because I had to deal this situation year ago and now cannot remember, how have a solved it.

Samba is set, but I cannot access even a folders, because have security set to USER. When typing address of the router than bumps a window, where I can put a user name and password, but cannot access it.

Tried several things, have setted /opt/etc/samba/smbpasswd, where I have a password, but not working. When having security in smb.conf set to SHARE, it works, but I need to have it secured -> USER.

Thanks for help!

@ the forum Master -

Can this be stickyed - I am frightened it will depart from the landing page!! :D

Thanks Velcrow

(I keep referencing this post so it would be great to see it near the top)

Depends on the network config.
- If your asus is directly connected to the inet you will have to open the port within iptables. (see Howto 14b, change port 22 to your transmission port)
- If another router is connecting to the internet you will have to open the port on this router.

@koper89
Looking good. Swap is used. I do not use rtorrent, so i can not help you that much...

wengi

is there web gui for transmission??

Yes. See bottom of chapter 9b.

I have a modem what is a router before the asus both all the ports are opened because the ip of the asus is in dmz zone....i want to disable completly the firewall , and learn hoe to open the ports if not.... pls help me:o:o

If you do not use your asus as router: Do NOT use "home gateway" mode.
This can be changed in the asus webinterface.
This will disable firewall, NAT and others...

wengi

@mataanjin

1. Do a forum search on how to redirect a port. this has been discussed several times.

2. "Address already in use" means Address already in use :)
You should have a look at ps if transmission is running several times (not the children!) or if another process is using thi port. try 'netstat' to list active ports.

wengi

Hi,

You con only eport rw if you have write rights!
/mnt is read-only:

Code:

---

[admin@blechbuechse /tmp]$ touch /mnt/temp
cannot touch `/mnt/temp': Read-only file system

---

Try to use /tmp/mnt.

@wengi and all

I have been able to get the mini_sendmail working - for all, like me, that did not know here are the commands -

Code:

---

printf 'Subject: The subject of the email \r\nThis is the body text of the email' |mini_sendmail -t -ftest@test.com -ssmtp.mail.com -v email@test.com

---

printf 'Subject: The subject of the email \r\nThis is the body text of the email'

This just creates the email, echo won't work because we need to use the "\r\n" to make a newline and return so that the Subject: and body text are separate.

-t (Im not sure why this is needed)
-f (the "from" email *note no space -f)
-s (your isps smtp server *note no space after -s)
-v (the recipient's email * note the space after -v)

Now what I would like to do is

Write a script that runs from cron that will send me an email when an event happens.

The event would be the completion of a torrent or a dropbear logon etc.

How would I do this - I am thinking that the script should check the syslog.log ever hour and extract the log messages that are of interest and send them on .....

Can someone (wengi :) ) give me some help on how to get this done.

Thanks

Velcrow

I have transmission running using transmissioncli, but cannot get it to run correctly via the web interface. The web page comes up, but it does not trigger watchdog correctly, I think.

When I run transmission_watchdog at the telnet prompt, I get this message:

touch /.watchdog: Read-only file system

in the WEB page, I get the following when running watchdog:

touch: /.watchdog: Read-only file system BusyBox v1.1.3 (2008.03.17-18:24+0000) multi-call binary Usage: rm [OPTION]...

Any ideas what I did wrong? Is there somewhere that I need to configure where the .watchdog file is located?

I am using 1.22-3 version of transmission.

Well, I gave up on this, and downloaded the most recent version of Transmision (1.4) which integrates the web interface. It works perfectly! Just install via "ipkg install transmission", the launch with "transmission-daemon -w /path to where you want files"

Hi,

i have been away for some time.
It seems that transmissiond does not exist any longer!?!
I will figure this out when i have time for it...

EDIT: Howto will be updated in december.

i can't do ipkg update.

All right, this should be so

Important: The data partition is mounted to /tmp/hardisk as in fstab. This is handled different in the firmware because of compatibility issues: The Partition is mounted to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3 and a symlink is pointing from /tmp/hardisk to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3

I did all the stepts before...

but the partition isn't mounted. And i can't mount it even if i try it manualy.

After my first installation of Oleg's FW I need some help with Transmission...

When I enter command:

Please, what should I do to make it working? :(
I changed the FW just for the Torrents

@ trymyluck

remove transmissiond ( the one you are using ) and install transmission instead.

the 1.4 version is stable using clutch

Thank you for the information.

Please, consider me a beginner, what version should I install and where I can find it? Do I have to make any special settings after installing the older version, or what I did according to the manual will enough?

Another question I have, what is clutch in software terms?

Hi,

I used a guide here: http://wlhdd.co.uk/wiki/Adding_Users for adding users, but my share access doesn't work if I want to disable shell for this user. telnet says:

PHP Code:

WL500W login: share

what's wrong? :(

Hi all,
I know that being a newbie is annoying, but everyone of you was a newbie before turning into an expert :-)
So, could you please help me with the Transmission?
I need to install Transmission on my router. I'm using Oleg's FW 1.9.2.7-10, which I installed according to this manual.
During the installation everything went great till Transmission installation, then I found out that the manual doesn't correspond with the latest version, that is on Oleg's repository.

What should I do to get it working?

I'm not able to find any older version, that would work according to this manual.

One more question, is there anybody using TorrentFlux? It looks really nice.

Recently I updated my Asus WL-500gP with a new WL-500W.
I updated from Oleg's FW 1.9.2.7-8 to 1.9.2.7-10.
Everything works fine (same HDD as before with /opt on it), but I'm in doubt about a couple of things. I used vsftp and samba2 (s2 is running under xinetd) installed with ipkg.
Latest Oleg's firmware has vsftp on it and a Samba version that can be handled by Microsoft Vista.

Can I remove ipkg installed software and use the built in modules ?
Is there a way to use actual cfg files for vsftp and samba2 with built in modules ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi !

bash depend on libiconv library, you must install it

ipkg install libiconv

I have a WL520GU. How would I allow remote access to the UI ? I would think its related to SNMP - but totally at a loss about how to go about it. Does anyone know how to allow remote management to my WL520GU access so a technician can debug why my VOip is not working behind it ?
Thanks!
