@swordfish77:
What exactly do you do? (step by step)

[swordfish77]

to Wengi,
- Create start-up script:
1.vi /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon
2. start edit mode in vi with "I"
3.Copy ALL content of "Code"
4.Esc. ->Then i try to save all of this with "wq" : "Write error: No such file or directory" (please see the atach.)
Only with "q!" i can exit, of course without save...
Thank U!
P.S. - maybe some parameter interfer with "vi" commands?

Hi,

@ALL

one general thing to all:
If you paste scripts from the forum to the asus via putty and your lines are "shifted" like the pictures above:
The reason is because of the windows formating.

To prevent this behaviour you can copy the content to an editor that is linux capable (i.e. notepad++) and change the format to unix (i.e. notepad++: format -> convert to unix).

After this you can paste the content properly.

@swordfish77
is the file created if you touch it? (idea of al37919 above)

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

@Wengi,
No, "cannot touch `/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon': No such file or directory"

Wengi,

I still get the permission denied message:

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

I've also reinstalled transmission, but without result.

I do have read/write access:

$ ls -la /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config

drwxrwxrwx    2 admin    root         4096 Jan  3 22:42 download

$ cat /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for transmission-daemon

case $1 in
 start)
	# update blocklist
	echo "updating blocklist, ~4MB"
	cd /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/blocklists
	wget -q http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz
	if test -f level1.gz; then
	   rm level1
	   gunzip level1.gz
	   chmod go+r level1
	fi
	# start transmission
	echo "starting transmission"
	/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g 
/tmp/harddisk/transmission/config
   ;;

 stop)
	if [ -n "`pidof transmission-daemon`" ]; then
		kill -9 `pidof transmission-daemon`
	fi
   ;;

 restart)
	$0 stop
        $0 start
   ;;

 *)
	echo "usage: $0 (start|stop|restart)"
	exit 1
esac

Also:

$touch /opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon

does not give any output when transmission is started using

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

I don't know if that's a problem?

[wengi]

@swordfish77
Is your hdd mounted to /opt?
Does /opt/etc/init.d exist?
Did you use my howto from beginning?
Which firmware version?

@quazar
it is normal that

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

does not give an output.
is transmission running after that? (ps)

wengi

[swordfish77]

I don't have init.d ... .I use Oleg's 1.9.2.7-10 firmware. And yes, i follow your post (btw - it's gold for me! Thk.v.much!).

Probably you need to read once again carefully point 5. from wengi's instruction. It is explained there how and where to create init.d directory. You cant perform 10. without ensuring that 5. is done correctly

[swordfish77]

Thank U, it worked! Now i installed Transmission-Remote GUI and can't connect..It's something i wanna do?

Edit: I solve the problem: In Transm.Remote -GUI -> Options ->Remote host, i change "localhost" with server IP adress. And the torrents works, but not have the usual speed..maybe need some setups. What i see , at Upload tab nothing work;maybe after complete download then start upload?

@quazar

Code:

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

does not give an output.

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

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.

Update 08-Mar-09: I ve got Transmission working now.

Wengi's comment:
Make sure that this is ONE line in S90transmission-daemon

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

made much sense; somehow both vi and nano pasted the text into two seperate lines, thatś when you get the permission denied error.

[wengi]

@swordfish77
fine

@quazar
Did you use my settings.json?
i enable all IPs within 129.168.*.* and 10.*.*.*
What is the IP Adress of your client?
Add this IP in settings.

wengi

[quazar]

I used the settings of the howto in settings.json.
My WL500W IP address is 192.168.1.1, so 192.168.*.* in the white list should work. Adding 192.168.1.1 to the settings-file does not help (as was tobe expected).

Hi, Wengi

Sorry for this stupid question, how to use clutch?
I searched google for Clutch, and found this page:http://clutchbt.com/
I downloaded the webui source. when i opened index.html, i looks the same as my transmission interface. I still can't find the information.

Can you give me more details? thanks a lot.

[Bohlendach]

Hi Wengi.

Thx a lot for this awesome guide.

You wrote:

11. Logrotate for Syslog
Add the following to crontab:

0 0 * * * admin /opt/sbin/logrotate -f /opt/etc/logrotate.conf &>/dev/null

However, crontab is not mentioned elsewhere. It would be better if you write:

Edit crontab:

vi /opt/etc/crontab

and add the following:

0 0 * * * admin /opt/sbin/logrotate -f /opt/etc/logrotate.conf &>/dev/null
