I've had the same problem. Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 server, standard transmission install from repositories. I followed this writeup: http://1000umbrellas.com/2010/04/21/transmission-install-on-ubuntu-10-04-server-lucid including using the same settings.json file
I can write files in the two directories targeted in the .json setup. I've changed all the directories specified in .json to 766 permission level. Using the web gui I can upload a target torrent file and it starts to download the torrent data but as soon as it tries to save to disk it gives me the permissions error. -- permission denied https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
