i have been trying to configure transmission-daemon so i can connect using the webui avaliable at http://server.ip-address:9091 , but i just get a message telling me that i should either disable the ip address whitelist or add my current ip to it.

I edited the file avaliable at /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json and modify the rpc-whitelist-enabled parameter to false, save the file and restart the service with: sudo service transmission-daemon restart. After that i double-check the settings.json i just modified just to discover that all my changes have been undone. What is goin on here?, any one else have seen this behaviour before?

Okay... just discovered what was going on, if you edit the settings.json file you must restart the service with: sudo invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload – AcidRod75 Feb 5 at 23:28

Transmission daemon rewirtes the config file on exit. To edit it without overwrite you have to sudo service transmission-daemon stop before editing. – con-f-use Feb 5 at 23:30
