FVDW-SL-12-1 and ProxyPass

[rafesl]

Just wondering if anyone has got this functioning.

What I want to do is to be able to access Transmission remotely.
What I thought I should do is to use the Apache directive
ProxyPass /foo http://nasip:1234/

I tried putting that into /etc/httpd.conf but that seemed to break the web server (a little).

Just wondering if I have the right idea or am I way off?

Thanks

why not just use transmission remote gui ?

Because I can't do that from my phone.
Generally what I was doing before was accessing the web interface of the NS2 while on bus home / whatever to kick off the download which is then ready when I get home.
I could probably just do it by punching a second hole in my firewall, but I was just wondering if there was a way of doing it that was cleaner. ProxyPass seemed a reasonable approach.
Its no biggie really if it doesn't work.

I see, by why need a proxy or use apache ?
Just redirecting port 9091 on the WAN site of your router to the NS2 in your LAN should enable you to access the webinterface of transmission from the internet.

Maybe (I am not sure), you must also change this options in the settings json file :

Code: Select all

rpc-whitelist: String (Comma-delimited list of IP addresses. Wildcards allowed using '*'. Example: "127.0.0.*,192.168.*.*", Default: "127.0.0.1" )

:mrgreen: nope it is already set when installing transmission configuration file for first time use
Here a copy of that line in the settings.json file

Code: Select all

    "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.*,*.*.*.*",

basically it allows any IP address to connect with this setting
