[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

**lapcat** · 01-01-2009, 16:49

Works fine, thank you. Again.

One question: What's the password for Samba? When i try to open http://192.168.1.1:901/ i get

401 Bad Authorization
username or password incorrect

although i used the password set for the router interface.

LE: Everything works, if only the user wasn't a n00b.

Dear Wengi,
Many thanks for your great HowTo! I've managed to format the HDD.

Unfortunately, I can get Transmission working on my setup (WL-500W with Oleg 1.9.2.7-10 and an USB memory card or USB-HDD).

I get the following error when starting S90transmission-daemon:

Code:

/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon: /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon: 36: /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config: Permission denied

transmission-daemon is not started according to ps axf.

When starting transmission with "$transmission-daemon", or

Code:

$transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config

the program starts, but I get the following error when I try to enter 192.168.1.1:9091

Code:

401: Unauthorized
Unauthorized IP Address.
Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.
If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries.
If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details.

I've tried changing the rpc-whitelist, in the settings.json, but without success.

I have followed your HowTo, but cannot figure out what Permission is denied?!?

edit: "chmod a +rwx" the settings file and download directory also did not help

Check your instalation again, you probably missed something.

Is there a limit to the number of torrents that Transmission can hadle?

**skylin3d** · 05-01-2009, 14:40

I have the same problem, it says like this:

Code:

/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon: /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon: 36: /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config: Permission denied
[admin@asus root]$ ps axf
BusyBox v1.1.3 (2008.04.25-08:17+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: ps

Hi,

please check the permissions of /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config
Should be something like

Code:

[admin@blechbuechse root]$ ls -la /tmp/harddisk/transmission
total 16
drwxrwx--- 4 admin root 4096 Dec 13 22:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 admin root 4096 Dec 14 00:24 ..
drwxrwx--- 5 admin root 4096 Dec 21 18:18 config
drwxrwx--- 3 admin root 4096 Dec 14 13:21 download
[admin@blechbuechse root]$

Make sure you have read/write permission.

If not, execute:

Code:

chmod -R 770 /tmp/harddisk/transmission/

Hi,

strange... Same permissions here. Working fine.
Please post content of

Code:

cat /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon

What happens if you start it manually?

Code:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config

**skylin3d** · 09-01-2009, 17:10

Hello, here are the results:

Hi,

first: Do an update of your system:

Code:

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade

You are using a REAL old version of transmission.
New versions are 1.4x.

If the above does not update transmission do the following:

Code:

ipkg remove transmission
ipkg install transmission

second:
Make sure that this is ONE line in S90transmission-daemon

Code:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config

I think you have this code in two lines.

hi,

I have used the older version of transmission before, the older interface has more information(files, download speed record...). Where can i find these information in the new version?

thanks

ps. sorry for my English.

**wengi** · 11-01-2009, 09:56

Hi,

all these informations can be found in the webinterface (clutch).
simply give it a try.

I guess you have to create file first with touch
