HI,
I have compilated trunk r23581, with transmissio-deamon and transmission-web.
Now using his start up script:

root@Fon2G:~# /etc/init.d/transmission start

Transmission not start, output is clear (no apparent errors)

Device Fonera 2g [Atheros AR2315]

any idea ?

It worked once, before I entered the watchdir.
Now, even with reinstallation, nothing happens

transmission.@transmission[0].watch_dir_enabled=false

Disable watch_dir. Requres inotify enabled in kernel to works, which is not enabled by default in openwrt.

Ah, that's it^^
Then let's go have some kernel compiling, thanks for the help!

You edit initial lines of your /etc/config/transmission

Hi, I have same kind problem. If I use commad "/etc/init.d/transmission start" on my router dir-320 transmission not start and output is clear. If I use same command on virtalbox transmission start. Config file In both cases the same. But In the first case transmission packages installed on an external device. When installing external device using the script from https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=24620

the enable 0 got me for hours before I found this thread. WHY does Luci show this program enabled in Startup then? I know I tried to enable, start, and restart it there with no success. A most frustrating problem this was.

same here, it simply does not start, while starting it directly (/usr/bin/transmission-daemon) it's all ok.

10.03.1 final.

I'm wondering WHAT that script really does, given the fact that it's all working OK starting the bin...

EDIT: need to set

option config_dir '/etc/transmission'

can't understand why it's /tmp/transmission by default -.-

If anybody still has problems with this just erase your config dir, for example "/etc/transmission"

Daemon will recreate all the required files.

The discussion might have continued from here.
