when i try /mnt/HD_a2 # chmod a+x /ffp/start/transmission.sh start

I got error “chmod: start: No such file or directory”

hi!

I’m an absolute newbee here. I followed your excellent instructuctions but have the following problem:

/mnt/HD_a2 # /ffp/start/transmission.sh start
Starting transmission-daemon
sh: cannot create /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/transmission-daemon.log: Permission d enied
Could not find Transmission socket
/mnt/HD_a2 #

Any idea?

Thanx in advance!

does it work with private torrent? i’ve tried but cant seems to download. I got this “Permission denied”

folder /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission DOES exist!
I use Telnet to connect to the NAS with Putty Rel. 0.6. - Could this be a problem?
In the telnet session I’ve never used any username or password…

Is this used with mldonkey, or instead of it? I checked around, and it looked like a BT client, like mldonkey.

hello,

i get the folowing error message

# /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start/transmission.sh start
Starting transmission-daemon
Could not find Transmission socket

and i have to folowing line in the log file.

transmission-daemon: failed to bind socket file: /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/daemon/socket: Address already in use

what could be the problem?
pls help

hi
even tho i’ve set up transmission but i still cant get decent speeds for my torrent downloads, it has nv exceeded 5Kb/s
port forwarding has alr been done
what else do u recommend i troubleshoot frm?
thanks in advance X_x

[...] Install Transmission [...]

CID: i hope you have solved your problem.
if not. try get into transmission.sh which should be around:
/ffp/start/transmission.sh

you will find a line starts with user=none
change the user to root or whoever tries to run it.

then you should be fine.

note: you need basic vi skill in order to edit/save etc

hope this helps

Hi andy,

Great guides on getting transmission & clutch working on dns-323. By following your guides I had managed to get it going.

However, I have a question. I had downloaded some torrent file onto my local drive. Then go into clutch, open, browse the torrent file and click upload but then the file does not start.

I tried an openoffice torrent and it works. Confused as to why other torrent file do not work.

Appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Hi andy,

I’ve download the torrent from http://bt.icefish.org

The particular torrent is the superstar 20080613 variety show.

When I upload the torrent via clutch, I get the following error.

Upload Error
An unexpected error occured. The torrent you uploaded may already be running.

I’ve read through the clutch forum and found the following thread.

http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?t=3532&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

It covers the error I encountered but can’t find a solution.

Cheers.

Hi Andy,

I’m trying to make sure that all of the torrent downloading is encrypted. Going through various forums, I found that I have to edit the transmission.conf and uncomment ENCRYPTION=”-ee” to enable encryption.

Problem is I cannot find transmission.conf anywhere in the DNS-323.

Is this the way to enable encryption? Where can I find transmission.conf?

Thanks.

Oh, one more thing. I read in other forum that to start blocklist we need to start the daemon with the -b option.

How do check if my transmission is running with blocklist?

Thanks.

Hi Andy,

Can help me on this error that I’ve “Daemon Error
The Transmission daemon does not appear to be running.” when I run Clutch.
Thanks in advance.

Yes had followed closely, but the following doesn’t seem to run, error on http://www.inreto.de
“# wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/php-5.2.6-2.tgz”
so I manually downloaded the file into the directory.
Any help is much appreciated, as I’m a newbie.

Hi Andy,

Had checked and tried, this time round it downloaded the file ok. But when I return to Clutch, the same error - “Daemon Error
The Transmission daemon does not appear to be running.”

I’m getting this same error. I have everything finally setup, and i get the transmission daemon does not appear to be running…

it was this line that caused me issues, it didnt copy/paste well

echo /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/daemon/socket > /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch/remote/data/socket.txt

[...] geänderte Übersetzung von http://www.shadowandy.net mithilfe von [...]

I’m also getting that socket error :

/mnt/HD_a2 # /ffp/start/transmission.sh restart
Stopping transmission-daemon
transmission-remote: failed to connect to socket file: /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/daemon/socket: Connection refused
Starting transmission-daemon
Could not find Transmission socket

Things I checked :
- /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/daemon/socket really is there….
- I did a chmod 777 for the sochet file

A big thnx in advance for any help, I’m a bit of a n00b on this matter…

Thanks a bunch for a really good guide! Worked like a charm. One question though, after installation, is it ok to delete or move the .tar/.gz/.tgz-files from the Volume_1 root?

Hey Andy,

how about the new transmission 1.33, have you managed to compile it yet? And/or do you know anyone who has done it and where i can get it from? Like everyone else im unsure of how to do it myself. Email me would you kindly? Thank you for all your work and foremost for sharing it. /O

export TRANSMISSION_HOME=/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission

is there some other way to set this? As is i have to manually re-enter this before i can use transmission-remote otherwise the environment variable isnt set in my new ssh session

[...] Transmission for DNS-313, DNS-323 [...]

I have Dlink DND-323 - Firmware version 1.5
This version has already builtin Bittorent client.

However, in order to try Transmission I installed fun_plug 0.5 and its running . As I can telnet to the Box.

I then downloaded the lib curl and transmission package from the link mentioned above and saved them to the required folder.

But when I try to installed the package I get the following error
”
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i curl-7181.tgz
tar: invalid gzip magic
FATAL: curl-7181.tgz: Failed to unpack package
”
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I’m getting this same error. I have everything finally setup, and i get the transmission daemon does not appear to be running…

I did the this line copy/paste
echo /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/daemon/socket > /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch/remote/data/socket.txt but still having this error, appreciate if you can assist

THanks for the reply Andy,

I use the transmission.sh file to start transmission automatically by placing it in /ffp/start/

What i am trying to do use use crond to issues commands to transmisison using the transmission remote. Reason being i have 110gb downloads from 1am to 7am and 40gb other. so obviously i want to resume and pause between those times.
However, the env variable isnt set so the remote doesnt work
if theres an easy way to achieve this any help would be great

hi shadowandy

I did that for few times but still failed therefore I here asking otherwise problem that I may miss

Can someone explain how can I edit the file transmission.sh?

export TRANSMISSION_HOME=/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission

to

export TRANSMISSION_HOME=/mnt/HD_a4/.transmission

I don’t have any exprience with vi

Thanks shadowandy.

It’s very easy to use vi, all I need it’s a good tut.

Keep getting the “The Transmission daemon does not appear to be running.” error. Have already tried a format+ reinstall of transmission and clutch, but to no effect. Have checked all steps carefully and there were no errors, I did it exactly as the tutorial says… with one exception. I pointed telnet to “php-5.2.6-3.tgz” instead of “…-2.tgz” manually but it installed ok. Have also tried restarting transmission and the NAS (Conceptronic CH3SNAS - similar to DNS-323) on numerous occasions but that also didn’t help. Neither did previous tips…

I checked with telnet btw:
” /mnt/HD_a2 # ffp/start/transmission.sh restart
Stopping transmission-daemon
Starting transmission-daemon
/mnt/HD_a2 # ffp/start/transmission.sh status
transmission-daemon is running ”

Plz help a NAS newb:)

No way…

Nevermind, just another reboot and transmission restart did fix it… weird? So I guess it’s fixed:D

Hi Folks!

Thanx for this perfect guide for Transmission.
But I’m totally newbie so please tell me, whta is the next step if i succesfull install the Transmission without errors.
So how can I download torrents, hasit any grapichal interface?

Thanks for your help, Best Regards:

C.

p.s. When I finished the installation of Transmisison the original BT client in the DNS-323 no longer working. Is it correct?

Hi Shadowandy,

thanks for this great guide, it almost went smoothly :-/

i got everything done and went to connect using firefox (also tested with opera and safari) and got this message

“Could not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect.”

when i click the details tab i see this

“Warning: socket_connect() [function.socket-connect]: unable to connect [111]: Connection refused in /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch/remote/lib/TransmissionController.class.php on line 103
This program has encountered an error and will now exit.”

I have followed steps on here and given permissions to all the relevant folders. the service is running on my box (dns-323). anything else sring to mind?

I am no expert at linux so please go easy on me

many thanks in advance
kX

oh, and good luck with yer exams

Hi shadowandy,

thanks for the quick reply. I followed your steps above except I removed the bt from transmissionbt.sh from both the chmod and start commands.

it works like a charm thank you.

now all i need is to secure this box, any recommendations? ssh?

cheers
kX

oops!!

I have installed openssh and made a boo boo!

i seem to have broken telnet and the ssh shell allows me to log in but doesnt actually give me a prompt.

any clues how i might be able to rectify this?

many thanks in advance
kX

Hi shadowandy,

it wasnt installing ssh that broke telnet, it was my attempts to get telnet to request a login! (it was my fault entirely!)

I will try and set up fun_plug again and hopefully that will do it

I will also have a look at DenyHosts, are there any pitfalls you can advise of before i break something else again?

cheers
kX

shadowandy,

I got back in with telnet after re installing fun_plug

I have got denyhosts installed but i cannot find any information on how it works or how to configure it etc,

any suggestions?

thanks shadowandy,

sorry to be such a pain!!

i have configured it now. however, i cannot get the shell working. it logs in but does nothing after!!!

I think i have goosed sshd maybe?

any pointers?

to be a bit more specific,

when i try and connect to my box with PuTTY, it gives me the message

“server unexpectedly closed network connection” instantly.

have i missed something here?

sorry, didnt notice this post,

i have managed to sort it now with a re install, thanks.

again, many thanks for your help with this

cheers
kX

hmmm, hopefully this is the last thing i will balls up on this box, once its done its done LOL

transmission appears to not be working now. I get the persission denied error as soon as the download of the file begins.

I have done this


chmod -R 755 /mnt/HD_a2/torrents


but I still get the error

any help?

cancel my last,

i am going to go and slap myself about a bit, once i thought it through i found the problem

again, many thanks for helping a linux newb with this

got there in the end

cheers
kX

krytonX, may I know how u solve the permission denied error? Previously I could download without any problems but lately, I’m getting that error - even for those that I had successfully downloaded without error when transmission was first set up. Appreciate anyone’s advice too. Thanks

Hi Andy!

As a linux newbie Ive tried to use your guide to install Transmission however I have a problem at the first steps.

I installed fun-plug 0.5 without problem, the telnet connection is up and running.

From my windows I copied the 2 tar files to the root of my 323 and tried to install curl but failed:

/mnt/HD_a2 # /mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i curl-7181.tgz
/ffp/bin/sh: /mnt/HD_a2: Permission denied

Could you help me, please?

Thank in advance!

S.

i simply put the correct dir for downloading in the preferences of the transmission web interface..

bottom left corner of browser/ preferences and select folder to download to.

kX

hi, can we record dcs-2120 video files onto dns313 without turning on computer?

hi, i get this permission denied after i click start on the torrent on the transmission web interface. it loaded awhile eg. getting the seeds and downloading for a few secs then it shows the the permission denied thingy.

any idea how to solve? i spent the whole night doing it

i have already typed that also cannot. just now i remove everything then following your guide again. until this part /mnt/HD_a2 # transmission-remote -f /mnt/HD_a2/torrents

it says “no torrent specified please use the -t option”

do i need to set anything else?

Thanks so much for replying so fast.

sigh…. also cannot. my folder is Downloads and my NAS drive is T: i tried typing in the prefences
1. /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads
2. /Downloads
3. T:/Downloads

Also cannot. Maybe later go home try format the HDD then install again.

Just to confirm. So after formating just need to follow the steps you gave above right?

do you think its the default BT program from dlink cause the problem? If yes how do i remove the program?

Thanks again

Hello,
I’ve tried this command transmission-remote -f /mnt/HD_a2/torrents and I’ve got this message: No torrent specified! Please use the -t option first.

Also, I’ve tried to go to Clutch GUI and I got there an error message: “Daemon Error
The Transmission daemon does not appear to be running”

So, any suggestions?

BTW happy New Year’s Eve

one thing more, I’am using DNS-313
