How to restart crashed HTTPD server and Transmission?

Hi Jocko,

Code: Select all

awk -F '[ /]' '{print $4}' /proc/cmdline
dev

Code: Select all

# ls -l /dev/sysdisk
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 2025-04-27 11:52 /dev/sysdisk -> /dev/sda

Code: Select all

# ls -l /dev/sda*

Since it doesn't display properly in latest Firefox ESR 128.9.x, I used Vivaldi to remove the name of the NAS. I think I put it there because NAS name wouldn't appear on other computers / router. Later I learnt this was a bug in version 18.2.

I then confirmed the change.

About the RAM allocation change, I rarely use the Web GUI and rather have NFS and Transmission have the maximum amount of RAM. Is it wise to set it to "High"?

About Transmission's settings.json, after movinf I now see the server is said not to be installed :hairpull I'd rather not lose all files. Will reinstalling it keep files in /share/1000/tr-daemon/torrents and /share/1000/tr-daemon/resume? Or can I temporarily move it elsewhere before reinstalling and copying it back to its original location? When I have a look at its content, it seems rather OK to me…

Finally, about patch02, that's precisely what I tried to install it right after upgrade, but it didn't give me any feedback on the Web GUI even though at least one folder was "touched" in fvdw. What feedback is it supposed to give? Or is there a way to install patch from the command line so as to get more info?

[Jocko]

Ok,

Code: Select all

awk -F '[ /]' '{print $4}' /proc/cmdline
dev

So an old issue, not detected by us, need to make a tiny change in boot script but there is no impact in firmware side.

About the RAM allocation change, I rarely use the Web GUI and rather have NFS and Transmission have the maximum amount of RAM. Is it wise to set it to "High"?

The option It is not a reserved part of memory but a max size of the memory used by apache. So you may select the medium option ('Enlarged') which will allow to send 3 simultaneous requests

About Transmission's settings.json, after movinf I now see the server is said not to be installed :hairpull I'd rather not lose all files. Will reinstalling it keep files in /share/1000/tr-daemon/torrents and /share/1000/tr-daemon/resume? Or can I temporarily move it elsewhere before reinstalling and copying it back to its original location? When I have a look at its content, it seems rather OK to me…

You can recreate it manually, so run

Code: Select all

sh -c "export EVENT_NOEPOLL=1 && sudo -u rd /usr/bin/nice -n 10 /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon  -g /share/1000/tr-daemon -w /share/1000/tr-downloads -a 127.0.0.*,*.*.*.* -t -u 'YOURLOGIN' -v 'YOURPWD'"

where you replaced YOURLOGIN and YOURPWD by your current credentials used to get access to transmission web-interface.

Finally, about patch02, that's precisely what I tried to install it right after upgrade, but it didn't give me any feedback on the Web GUI even though at least one folder was "touched" in fvdw. What feedback is it supposed to give? Or is there a way to install patch from the command line so as to get more info?

You should get a successful message in current system status field and the web-interface is reloading a bit later. Can you try again ?

[Cubytus]

Here it is. In Vivaldi, I was able to successfully install patch02 :woohoo After that, correct display is restored in latest FF.

Now the downside: as I tried to fiddle round with Transmission, it still says "Server not installed". Trying to fetch it again yields error -99. I'm sure I've seen the error before, but don't remember the solution. This is, of course, after the mandatory reboot after installing a patch. Ok I can recreate the settings.json. I don't remember I used many custom settings, except port.

FTR, as I tried to install HTTrack, I got an error, too.

[Jocko]

can you post

Code: Select all

ls -al /share/1000/tr-daemon/settings.json*

[Cubytus]

My mistake. I accidently deleted the whole /tr-daemon :oops:

was:

So by installing it again, you will restore transmission and you have loose your current magnets but downloading files will be still here after installing transmission

[Cubytus]

How do I solve error -99 then?

[Jocko]

Error -99 means the fvdw-sl web-interface sends unknown commands (ej. empty asked command code) from transmission menu (maybe it was related to the browser bug)

[Cubytus]

hmm, since it must be done from the Web GUI, what's the correct way to reinstall server?

As it claims transmission is not installed, just click on Install button. It will reuse the share tr-downloads without resetting it.
