Transmission Error

[Mogambo]

Hi Folks,
Have been using Merlin for sometime now.
And I have to say I love it.
Have a AC56U and on that have been using transmission.
Recently I have started seeing this error in the sys log.
Couldn't bind port 32767 on ::: Address already in use (Is another copy of Transmission already running?) (net.c:371)
The firewall start script is correct, I tried netstat to see if anything else is hogging teh port.
I tried changing it, (Was on the then default 51413 and only changed it after getting errors).

I even did a complete factory reset and re-installed and reconfigured everything to no avail.

Had read somewhere that Ubuntu torrents may cause a problem and I incidentally had a ubuntu and linux mint torrent in there, removed those from the /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/resume.

Well of these tries and still cant get transmission to work.
I know this is not Merlin specific, but want to put in here:

Thank you in Advance!

Did you check the System Log -> Connections to see what other devices might be using that port?

 

[Mogambo]

Was not aware of that tab, but just checked, the output of that tab doenst contain 32767.
And I have tried changing the port to have multiple different numbers.
And updated the firewall start script accordingly and I have always been getting this error

Odd, you could try updating Transmission to 2.84. Assuming you're using Entware you can update all the installed packages using the following set of commands:

opkg update
opkg upgrade

I have setup it up using optware (before entware was supported on arm devices.
Let me try to update it through optware to see if it helps

Seems I am on the latest version:

admin@RT-AC56U-BFB0:/# ipkg list_installed | grep -i transmission

Any more pointers?

I suspect that Outware isn't being maintained as 2.84 of Transmission is available under Entware. If you're not tied to Outwore you might want to switch over to Entware and see if that resolves the issues.
