Unable to access transmission web

gleipnir · Jun 16th 2017

Hello

I have OMV3 installed, so every time I try to open the webgui from Transmission I get the following msg in my browser:

403: Forbidden

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 followed the [GUIDE] Configuring and using Transmission plugin for permissions, but I still can not access.
What am I doing wrong?

My file settings.json:

Shouldn't do that. Unfortunately there is no ui to disable the whitelist so try this

Edit this file

nano /etc/default/openmediavault

Add this line at the end

OMV_TRANSMISSIONBT_RPC_WHITELIST_ENABLED="false"

Save

Go to transmission plugin disable save apply, enable again.

Just check your settings.json did it change to the whitelist to false ?

And you still get the same error ?
I would try first reboot the server. Doesn't work then try browser in private mode.

In the end it was impossible to access and I passed to Deluge

Thank you

I have this exact same problem.
I tried changing the config files manually and could never get the 403 message to go away either....

I encountered the same 403 error yesterday when I reinstalled openmediavault-transmissionbt plugin after upgraded from OMV 2.x.

It turned out to be the home directory of user debian-transmission had not been set correctly. Mine had been set to /home/debian-transmission when it should be /var/lib/transmission-daemon.

Run this command on the command line to change it:

Bash

usermod debian-transmission -d /var/lib/transmission-daemon

The directory for your transmission-daemon is actually in /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon.
