[TUTORIAL] Native Transmission on asuswrt routers through optware

[TeHashX]

Sorry, my mistake, is firewall-start, port forwarding should work in combination with firewall-start script.
Btw, do you have another scripts that work on /jffs partition?

nope. I do not have any other script.
I had a fresh router, installed merlin firmware and followed the tutorial.

any other ideea?

Go to advanced system content and check again "Format JFFS partition at next boot", reboot, copy again firewall-start script, make it executable and reboot one more time.
AC66U had an issue mounting jffs in the past.

Did it. Unfortunately no effect. "CanYouSeeMe.org" sais that 9091 is closed and I cannot access transmission from WAN.

I guess it's something related to jffs partition, let me think a little

Add this line to firewall-start script after iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT

logger -t "$0" "Hey, I'm working!"

Save and reboot than go to SystemLog on router UI and search for a line with:

Hey, I'm working!

If you don't find it, it's something wrong with /jffs partition and I can't help you anymore, try to format again...
If yes, the firewall-start script it's working fine.

 

[ungureanub]

Nope, I cannot find any line like this.
I will create a new thread.

Anyhow, thanks for support.

 

[ungureanub]

I've found it! The problem was in http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47669650/RT-N66U/Transmission/firewall-start. It was probably written in windows and contains some ^M characters.

I've wrote it manually with nano and voila ... everything works fine now!
I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Maybe you should update the OP or update the Dropbox file.

Anyhow, thanks for the tutorial and for the support.

 

[TeHashX]

Ok, I updated the file.

TeHashX, thank you for this implementation.
Please, can you tell me exactly which is the line that i've to change into the settings.json to modify the password?
I've not found it, so my password actually is admin, not safe enough

 

[TeHashX]

First stop the transmission daemon with

# /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop

Now open the settings.json with

# nano /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Find this line

"rpc-password": "{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

Change the value in red and save with CTRL-O / Enter / Ctrl-X
Start transmission again and login with the new password

# /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start

guys, pls, i would like to ask you for help. I used thistutorial
for installation transmission via optware (instead download master). i run step by step from this guide and i have a problem. When i run /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
system wrote me: permission denied.
i tried it on my asus rt-n16 with Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.266.23 (Merlin build).
check picture pls

 

[TeHashX]

Try first
# chmod 777 /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission

i've tried it. I started:
ipkg update
ipkg install transmission
wget -c -O /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission http://tinyurl.com/S95transmission
chmod 777 /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission

and when i run:
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
i got this error:
-sh /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission: permission denied

any ideas?

 

[TeHashX]

Post here the "mount" result.

thx

I see you have 2 usb disks, remove the disk labeled My_Book from usb port and reboot.
Optware disk should be mounted as /sda1 now.
Restart installation and check if transmission is starting.
Plug again My_Book disk and reboot.
See if Optware is mounted as /sda1, if not, swap the disks in usb ports, reboot and check again.

 

[seikosha]

thank you very much .. i got it ...

 

[pncu]

is there any way to do it without ext2/3?

The drive I'm using is formatted ntfs with over a terabyte of data on it so I can't format the drive as I'd lose all that data.

Is there any way to do it without ext2/3?

I used tomato for a couple days and it had Transmission on it and I was using my ntfs drive with it n problem.

I appreciate any input you may have

Thanks.

It's just not 100% guarantee, maybe you are lucky, just try it...
