at least you should get a dots. Maybe there is something wrong with syslog or transmissiond is not running.
1. It has been doing this for 2 weeks so yea, how do I check for transmissiond if it is active because all the downloads look good and uploadds too. Just the graph is not working.
This is the code I have for syslog:
nano /opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for syslog
#
PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
LOGFILE=syslog.log
KERNLOGFILE=kern.log
LOG_OLD=/tmp
LOG_NEW=/opt/var/log
prefix=""
sbindir=${prefix}/sbin
NAME=syslogd
DAEMON=${sbindir}/${NAME}
DESC="syslogd"
OPTIONS="-m 0 -O $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE -S -l 7 -s 0"
case "$1" in
start0)
printf "Starting ${DESC}: "
# Copy old syslog and create symlink to new
if [ ! -L /tmp/syslog.log ]; then
cat $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE >> $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE
mv $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE $LOG_NEW/$KERNLOGFILE
ln -s $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE
fi
${DAEMON} ${OPTIONS}
printf "${NAME}.\n"
logger -t ${NAME} "started."
;;
stop)
if [ -n "`pidof syslogd`" ]; then
printf "Stopping ${DESC}: "
killall "${NAME}"
printf "${NAME}.\n"
fi
;;
start|restart|force-reload)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start0
;;
*)
printf "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|force-reload}\n" >&2
exit
;;
esac
exit 0
So the syslog i posted is from wengi tutorial. I now change the syslog to Moody Blue's. The reason i did this is because I followed Moody's tutorial to get the hds working but because i thought wengi tutorial was much newer so i followed his tutorial after getting the hd back up with moody blue. Maybe this would be the problem U think. I changed the syslog identical to moody would this make a difference or not im not sure just trying things out here.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for syslogd
#
# Stop myself if running
if [ -n "`pidof syslogd`" ]; then
killall syslogd 2>/dev/null
fi
/sbin/syslogd -m 0 -O /opt/var/log/messages -S -l 7
Same problem I really dont know what is wrong with it. When i click log it takes a while to load because it shows me everything since Jun18th how do i get it so it clears. I am sorry for asking so many questions. I had this problem becausemy router stopped working and I thought it was a good chance to redo the new oleg version but i liked the older version1.9.2.7g better it worked with no flaws just tillt he router died. Thanks for all your help guys. But neways for now I will keep checkin on this post if there is a solution thanks again

make sure to walk trough 9b of the wengi howto.
then also change in transmission.conf this:
if you did it all right it should be working, or you missed somethingSYSLOG=/opt/var/log/syslog.log
I went over that part everything is exactly the same as part b now. Still no difference thnx for suggestion though
Hi,
I updated to the latest firmware and updated/upgraded all ipkg packages yesterday.
Currently, I am using Transmission 1.40 (7096)
Everything is working great. I can fetch torrents and start downloading/uploading. Then access the completed downloads with samba2.
My Transmission is started in POST-BOOT, with this line:
/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /usr/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/
When I add a torrent, using the webinterface OPEN button at the top left corner, the download is added to the list in the webinterface. A torrent file is also created in both
/usr/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents
and
/tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents
BUT, I realised that when I restart my WL500W, the torrents disappear. This means that when I go to
http://MY OWN IP ADDRESS:TRANSMISSION PORT/transmission/web/
I do not see any ongoing/seeding/paused/etc in the list at all.
It is totally blank.
There is also no torrent file in
/usr/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents
and
/tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents
However:
My settings file in
/usr/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
and
/tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
is perfectly file (not deleted, not changed).
The partially downloaded files in the torrent download directory are also still there (not deleted).
Therefore I suspect the issue is, when I reboot router (either by entering "reboot" in putty, or by physically switching off the electrical power supply), the torrents in the 2 "torrent" folders somehow got deleted.
Why?
How do I solve this problem?
Please help.
Thanks so much!

Your config file is in flash memory.
Read this (mainly move your config file to your pendrive/hdd in my example /tmp/harddisk/torrent/.config - I have mounted my harddisk in /tmp/harddisk)
BTW. Current version is r7132

highjacking this thread as i have the same problem.
i have tried every thing i have found on this forum without any good result.
i still loose my .torrent files when i reboot?
i'm running the latest version.
and when i look for them via ssh i cant even find them?
(yes im newbie to linux)
Is there a way to get the error log on transmission?
Ok here's my issue.
I leave transmission running...I have a total of 20 files and 5 currently downloading of size 4gb plus each.
After a day or so my transmission crashes. I cannot access through the web interface or through putty. Also my routers may admin page crashes as well. I'm not sure if the problem itself is with transmission or the oleg firmware.
on avg my downloads are at 500kb/s -1.5mb and uploads vary from 50-200kb/s.
Anyone else experience this problems?
Is there a way to get an error log out of transmission or the oleg firmware so I can better report any issues
I did an update and now Transmission is not working. I downgraded using transmission_1.60+r8350_mipsel.ipk but its still not working.
I found that when I do ps all i have running is ps and sh, no other processes.
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
