Hey all,

Getting the following error with Transmission. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

Apache/2.2.9 (Fedora) Server at transmission Port 80

Any thoughts? Was working fine till I forgot to add the torrents share.... Added it uninstalled reinstalled and no joy.

Cheers!

hi peter! maybe the daemon is not running. either reboot, or

Code: Select all

service amahi-transmission restart
perhaps that helps

The transmission app is a good design and simple to use, but as I have peak and off peak internet times I would like to be able to schedule when it downloads and uploads. i.e. down/upload between 2am-noon

It looks like the Transmission app you have is 1.51 and looking at the Transmission forums there is a function to schedule when it downloads. So I'm wandering if someone who knows how to program it could update the app to the laterest version and/or add a schedule funtion?

Also there are some people working on 'Torrentflux-b4rt' and I'm wandering if it would be like what I'm looking for?

Thanks :D

read this (the last post).

you have to change the settings.json file. See this.

haven't tried the scheduling yet, but other settings do work.

Sorry for dragging this one up again,

I am having the same problem as pjcrux.

I have restarted the Servive, no luck (Both transmission and apache and dns)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled transmission, no luck
rebooted my hda to, no luck

I am having the same issue with Squeezebox Server as well

both are returning

Code: Select all

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /transmission/web/. Reason: DNS lookup failure for: localhost
Apache config:
I have checked both Aliases and Redirects for both applications, and it looks ok

Code: Select all

Map local to remote URLs Local URL path "/" Remote URL "http://localhost:9091" Map remote Location: headers to local Local URL path "/" Remote URL "http://localhost:9091"

DNS: I can't see what is wrong if anything


Any sugestions

Hi! I am having the same problem as chaosdesign here.
I even tried to reboot the HDA but the issue is still on.
Apparently i solved it.
I tried to access http://localhost:9091 on firefox directly from the HDA machine and i got the same error.
Then i tried successfully with http://127.0.0.1:9091
This got to me thinking about the HOSTS file configuration in /etc/
This is what I found:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 HDA localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 HDA ::1 HDA localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 HDA
To solve the problem I only add the word "localhost" to the first line:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 HDA localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost HDA ::1 HDA localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 HDA
Problem SOLVED! 8-)

I updated the app to use 127.0.0.1 in the HTTPD conf file by default. This should solve the problem for those of you missing localhost in their /etc/hosts file.
(I do have it in mine... not sure why everybody would not have the same thing in there...)
