Cannot access Transmission Web GUI after changing IP

[windyboi]

After changing my home network from 192.168.1/24 to 192.168.10/24, I can no longer access the transmission web GUI at http://192.168.10.4:9091/. I can ping it fine, but can't get to the UI. The whitelist is disabled.

Any ideas what could be the problem? I cannot seem to work it out

Thank you

pinging the jail doesn't show much since freenas will respond even if the jail isn't binding to the IP. maybe trying pinging from the jail to another computer on the network to see if that works.

Ah right OK. I have tried what you suggested, and I have logged into the jail and I was successfully able to ping my macbook on the network (192.168.10.100 from the transmission jail 192.168.10.4)

what does 'sockstat' give you?

looks like it is listening on port 9091. not sure why you can't access it.

 

[windyboi]

Yeh me neither. Weird one, only since I changed the IP address from 192.168.1.4 to 192.168.10.4 :/

you did try restarting your jail since the change in IP right?

Yes, restarted the jail and also FreeNAS itself.

 

[windyboi]

I can see established connections from the IP of my iphone and mac where I have been attempting to connect from.. Weird that it's established but I cannot open the web gui..

[root@transmission_1 /]# netstat -an|grep 9091

anyone able to assist?

Right, so I decided to completely nuke the jail and start from scratch.

However, I have run into some problems...

I couldn't delete the jail because the device was busy, so I forcefully deleted it and now I've made a new installation of Transmission, the service won't start.. I notice that when I run 'jls' from CLI that I have three instances of transmission.. but in the GUI I only have one (the latest one I added). I just tried to delete the jail for this new one but this also fails due to device busy...
Any idea how I can resolve the issue with three transmission jails still remaining?

I tried to delete the Transmission plugin now from the GUI but it says Error: jail not found :(

Thanks

EDIT: Ok I managed to delete them by deleting the .meta files, but now when I (think) I have a fresh slate, and I install the Transmission 2.9 plugin through the GUI and then go to Plugins -> Installed -> Start transmission, it won't start, the message in the console is
Mar 13 20:24:44 kenny manage.py: [freeadmin.navtree:567] Couldn't retrieve http://192.168.10.2/plugins/transmission/4/_s/treemenu: timed out

you shouldn't delete a jail with plugins installed to it. just delete all the plugins from the jail and the jail will be deleted for you.

I know that now :/. I read online that to delete a plugin you can just delete the jail. Lesson learned.

Do you know how I can proceed from here after seemingly *breaking* things? I can't seem to get Transmission to start (see my above edit). I guess there's still some files left behind which need to be deleted before I can start from scratch again?

Thank you

I'd delete everything related to transmission on the plugins>installed page, on the jails page, and the storage (dataset) page. then maybe reboot for good measure, and see if that gets rid of every mention of it.

then try installing a fresh instance of transmission.

Yeah already did this unfortunately :(

when you try to install a new instance of transmission does that work? and that instance just won't start?

 

[windyboi]

Yeah, I deleted the plugin, then deleted the jail storage, then installed the plugin again and it wont start ( I get the error message in the log as above)

your issues isn't related to installing the plugin then, it sounds like a networking issue. could you install another plugin and start/stop that? does 'jls' show an IP address associated to the jail?

Hmm strange that its a networking issue.

I just tried installing headphones and then tried to turn that on and it didn't work :/ I can't seem to access that log in the background anymore, where should I be looking for relevant logs?

jls doesn't show any IP address for transmission nor does it for Plex either or crashplan (i've never seen any IP address listed when I ran jls, even when transmission was working).

It does take a really long time for the plugins to load up when I click on that tab

Thank you
