Connect sonarr to a remote VPS running transmission

Help & Support
1

Hi, unfortunatelly the forums didnt give me an answer to this question …

I am running transmission daemon on a VPS, filling out the sonarr connection tab with transmission settings results in an error : Unknown exception: Remote site redirected to http://IP:port/transmission/rpc = it is redirecting me to the webui.

My question is : Is it even possible/supported to get an connection outside of the localhost or am I doing something wrong ?
Or is it that to be able to use this option only the daemon (without the webui) would be running ?

Thanks

Yes its possible to connect to remote connections.

Hastebin the logs from the connection test and we can take a look.

here you go : http://hastebin.com/aqowolekek.tex

i stripped the IP,PORT and username from the logs

anyway i think this is the issue :

15-6-3 02:18:21.8|Debug|TransmissionProxy|Url: http://HOST_IP:PORT/HOST_IP:PORT/transmission/rpc GetSessionId

accourding to the help “?” the url base should be a prefix in this format : http://[host]:port/[urlBase]/transmission/rpc

If im not mistaking it should be empty in my case, but i am probably wrong :slight_smile: Tested other possibilities : http,IP,domain name - same results.

OK I have figured it out.

the rpc url of the daemon has to have the default value “/transmission/”

Everything else fails with the error message mentioned above.

Anyway, thx, have to say,love sonarr so far (my 1st day :slight_smile: )

cheers
