Deluge Forum

I am running Deluge 1.3.15 on a headless Ubuntu 18.04 server. I use the Web UI to control it. No matter what I do I can not get Deluge to use a different port. It always binds to 6881. The site I want to connect to bans all the default ports. I run deluge as a service. I have tried switching the ports via the web ui and via stopping the service and editing core.conf. No matter what I do it ignores whats in core.conf and uses 6881. This all started when I upgraded from Ubuntu 16 to 18.

When I make changes in the Web UI the core.conf file is updated so I know I'm updating the proper file. The following settings change both ways if I edit the conf file it shows up in the Web UI, but the output of "sudo lsof -i -n -P | more" doesn't change. And the error port 6881 is banned remains. See below:

/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/core.conf
"random_port": false,
"listen_ports": [
56881,
56889
],

If you are changing via the preferences pages restart deluge. If you are changing via the config file make sure deluge is shut down before editing it.

I have tried to reboot the entire server after I update via preferences in the web UI and I have tried
sudo service deluged stop
sudo vim /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/core.conf
insert, MAKE CHANGES
esc, :wq
sudo service deluged start

Then I check the web UI and my changes show up in the preferences screen but all my torrents still show the error and the output of sudo lsof -i -n -P | more doesnt change
