Won't start/connect to daemon

Post by tekmonkey »

I'm trying to set up a headless Deluge server for the first time and having some issues. On my server, I set up the WebUI plugin and launched deluged.exe.

Initially, I had no problem logging into the web interface and controlling deluge remotely. However, once I closed out the main deluge interface and rebooted the computer, I'm not able to connect anymore. It appears that deluged.exe and deluged-web.exe are running.

I'm able to reach the web interface, but then the Connection Manager prompt appears, with a default entry of 127.0.0.1:58846. The status is "Offline." When I click "Start Daemon" nothing happens, and I'm unable to click the "Connect" button.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here in figuring out how to configure, but I've looked at various setup guides and can't figure out what I'm not doing right.

If you are trying to connect to a remote deluged from a local client machine, 127.0.0.1 is the wrong address. That's localhost on the machine deluged is running on. You need to add another host and specify the IP address of the remote machine.

I've tried that too, using the local IP address of my server (192.168.1.3). But when I add 192.168.1.3:58846 to the connection manager, "Start Daemon" and "Connect" are both greyed out.

I should also note that when I try to open it locally on the server (where keeping the localhost address makes sense), it also has the same problem.

Yeah, that's what it seems like, but the process is running. I had tried reinstalling before, but it still didn't work. I just tried reinstalling and clearing all old configurations, and it seems to be working now. We'll see if it keeps working.
