I have a ReadyNAS Duo and have done nothing 'unusual' to it!!!! How do I find out?

Ooops! That really reveals me for the newbie that I am!!!!!! :?

*EDIT* Doing a few searches makes me think that it is using sparc, as it is the Duo model!

your correct - sparc platform :)
i'll see if i have the same issue tonight on my DUO.

i use my gmail account for email notifcations; it is a simple case of insert your gmail email (g-email?!) into frontview and transmission should work. no further SMTP authentication is required. if you get frontview test email/log alerts then you should get transmission alerts too. i have found it only working with a recent factory reset of my DUO though, so while i havent tested my theory, it maybe that upgrading from previous versions is a bit buggy.

Could it not be executing the email script because of permissions on the email script? Everything else works fine. I am able to download a torrent, add a torrent, etc. I receive all other alerts and notifications through email. For exmaple if I restart the NV+ or have an error installing an add-on it will give me an email. When the torrent finishes though I do not get any email. Is there an easy way to check permissions on the email script?

I also tried changing the transmission start and transmission stop scripts to have my ReadyNAS user id and password. That did not help making the email alert work.

Thanks,
John

I am really struggling to get Transmission to create a torrent file for me! Have installed Transmission 2.03 and PHP 1.3. I can get to the Create Torrent web page and enter the following values Torrent Name: TEST Directory or File: /c/Media/BitTorrent/Seeding/Sharp End/ Tracker URL: http://www.thebox.bz:2710/announce Private Torrent: yes Immediately after I press the "Create Torrent" button I get the following messages....... Warning: copy(/c/webroot/transmission/archives/TEST.torrent) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 21 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Result : Creating torrent "/c/webroot/transmission/archives/TEST.torrent" .... error reading "": No such file or directory Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 28 Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 29 Any ideas? Do I need to create a folder or file beforehand? :cry: :cry: :cry:

i thought i wouldnt be able to sugest a fix for this.





but i have... remove the [space] in the folder name. ie: 'Sharp End' to 'Sharp_End' or 'Sharp.End' etc
escape character doesnt appear to work either (\). also, ensure you've got the case correct; linux is case sensitive.
works for me :)

looks like SP will have his work cutout when he returns from vacation. im having issues when my DUO reboots/shutsdown that torrents get re-verified on next start still.

i have noticed that the create transmission tool will auto-add it to transmission. since i havent proceeded to upload a torrent, im not sure on the effects with trackers that require you to re-download the .torrent once it's been uploaded. might be something worth noting...


@joja15 - permissions could be a cause. either SSH in and use 'ls -l', or use extplorer to view file permissions.
i've found another possibility; transmission.conf file - ensure the applicable email line is set to 'true'.
im guessing default is nobody:nogroup, 777

Thanks for the tip veehexx. I am 99% sure I set the transmission.conf file to have email notifications set to true i.e. 1.

I will try out the extplorer to view the file permissions and report what they are set to.

I had a similar issue not being able to get emails. I ssh into the box and tried to run email_alert by typing in "./email_alert" and nothing happened.

Edited the file and put in my smpt server: "SMTP_SERVER=smtp-server.nyc.rr.com"

Then I changed the attributes to execute and read for the file "chmod +rx email_alert"

Then ran the script again, after that no problems, script executed and my email was sent every time I completed a torrent.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! No joy!

Here's what I put in:

Torrent Name: SharpEnd1
Directory or File: /c/Media/BitTorrent/Seeding/SharpEnd/TheSharpEnd-Episode1(1991)[TVRip(mpeg4)].m4v
Tracker URL: http://www.thebox.bz:2710/announce

......and here's what it spat out!

Warning: copy(/c/webroot/transmission/archives/SharpEnd1.torrent) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 21

Come back SP, all is forgiven!!!!!

MysteryMan I recreated your error:

Warning: copy(/c/webroot/transmission/archives/.torrent) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 21

Result :
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 28

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 29

The reason you are getting this error above is I typed a lower case m instead of a upper case M for the Mp3 directory.

Your error is similar:

I recommend checking your case of each folder and changing the file name to

Directory or File: /c/Media/BitTorrent/Seeding/SharpEnd/TheSharpEnd_Episode1_1991_TVRip_mpeg4_.m4v

Replacing any spaces, dashes and brackets with underscores like I did above.
Heck I would change the file name to SharpEnd.m4v just to be ultra safe and then start adding in the rest to see if that fails.
I also have been looking I believe the "M" Media should be a lowercase "m".

:iagree:

seems the first incarnation of the create transmission tool has issues with special characters. it might well be the round&square brackets causing issues now!

purely for testing, try creating a new test folder & rename the m4v file with no spaces or special characters (ie: just a-z and 0-9).
