New user, can't get things working properly
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2015 8:52 pm
I hate that I have to even make this post, as I rarely need help in getting anything computer related to work correctly. But in this case, I'm stuck. I've read the FAQ which ultimately just led me back to suggestions to read the FAQ. I've read forum posts but they have either not helped or gotten me even more lost. Hoping someone can set me straight here.
I'm running OSX Mountain Lion on my headless mac mini. Been using UTorrent but I really like the idea of being able to access my Torrent UI directly from a remote machine without having to use Remote Desktop.
I've downloaded the latest OSX package and installed it. It runs fine, but I've been unable to figure out how to access it remotely. I have allowed remote connections, and turned off random port. I've tried remotely accessing both the port that Deluge says is the "active port" (6881) as well as the daemon port (58846) but neither results in any connection.
Do I need to enable some port forwarding on my LAN or something? Am I missing something else?
Additionally, I've read about how to get Daemon working (though I thought it was already running if the app is running...), and there are mentions of command line functions (deluged, deluge-console, deluge-web, etc.) that don't work for me. I'm guessing it's because I didn't do a MacPorts installation, but the instructions specifically say it's better to use the binary so... I did. Not sure if the command line functions are important for me or not at this point.
Thanks, looking forward to getting this to work!
