Hi

I want to install transmission on a ubuntu server accessible by a web
interface. I found that it was possible with the clutch package, which I
installed and started as a service.

Accessing the server by http://serverip/default/clutch or
http://serverip/clutch did not work. When I tried to access
http://serverip/transmission, I got a web-page with on the top left a button
"Open" which allows to upload the torrent file. I selected my local torrent
file and pressed the upload button, but in stead of uploading I got an answer
from the server whether I wanted to download index.php from the server.

Does anyone has experience about how to set up transmission on a headless
ubuntu server?

Tx/Alain

cant help you with transmission, but the reason why its asking you to
download index.php is because you dont have php installed on the server.
install it, restart apache, and the browser will display index.php
instead of asking to download it.

You want to install transmission-cli. It includes a server called, if I
recall correctly, transmission-daemon. If you run that, you will get a
nice web interface. It's all covered in the man page.

I just tried this myself (as I'd like to do the same thing on my server.)

I just installed transmission-cli and clutch, and I have a good
looking GUI at http://host/clutch (not transmission as you reported)

I also get that same download php issue :-(
I'll poke at this some more after I get my server updated and other
stuff out of the way. Let me know if you get a solution!

Got it.

Run 'sudo a2enmod php5' on the server to enable php.
Then restart apache 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload'

PHP is installed but not activated by default it seems.

Brian


PS Thanks for poking me on this issue - I really like that web GUI so far!

Hi Brian

I decided to restart on my server and I removed everything I tried to install
that day:

sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2-doc mysql-server php5 libapache2-
mod-php5 php5-mysql

Then today I installed transmission-cli and clutch, loaded up
http://server/clutch and everything is working. I am downloading from firefox
on my laptop to the server. I really do _not_ know whet I did differently with
regard to previous install.

Hope it will also work out for you.

bye/Alain
