Why doesn't it read transmission-daemon settings?

Question

ubuntu

Good evening!

Installed transmission-daemon from PPA repository on Ubuntu Server 16.04.6 and configured according to this guide . For the purity of the experiment, I reconfigured it three times. The result is still the same:

Result

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.

Here is the transmission-daemon configuration

{
"blocklist-enabled": 0,
"download-dir": "\/var\/lib\/transmission-daemon\/downloads",
"download-limit": 100,
"download-limit-enabled": 0,
"encryption": 1,
"max-peers-global": 200,
"peer-port": 51413,
"pex-enabled": 1,
"port-forwarding-enabled": 0,
"rpc-authentication-required": 1,
"rpc-password": "admin",
"rpc-port": 9091,
"rpc-username": "admin",
"rpc-whitelist": "192.168.0.*",
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": 0,
"upload-limit": 100,
"upload-limit-enabled": 0,
"umask": 2
}

Why doesn't it read transmission-daemon settings from /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json , here I tried to change the port, but it doesn't listen. Please tell me where to dig? Thank you

Answer 1

in your path, wanderer, an extra directory /info/ crept
into my path
~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
and still I would advise you to keep the configs in ~
