Hi community, first post here.

I'm a new FreeNAS user, I'm using both osx and windows machines to connect. Still trying to get a grasp of the system and spent some time trying to set up transmission correctly. Last night I was able to fix my permission issues and was able to find which folder it downloads the stuff and how to share that folder (somehow without being so sure about what I'm doing, just followed many different advices on forums and youtube)

Since I'm the only user of FreeNAS and main reason is to gain experience on the system, it's not a critical component for me right now and I turn the system off before I go to bed. This morning I connected to my home computer from work using TeamViewer to connect my FreeNAS and freenas.local DNS didn't work. I put the IP address in and I was able to reach to the web GUI. But now I cannot start transmission, cannot get its web GUI. Also as I'm attaching the screenshot there's no + sign next to the plugins tab on the left bar. This happened (plus sign dissappearing) before when I deleted the transmission's jail without deleting the plug in properly but after that I used 8. option on the FreeNAS to restore the system to it's factory settings and set the transmission up from scratch and it had worked. Unfortunately until last night.

I thought restoring to factory settings is like a clean installation? If it's, maybe I'm doing something every time I set this system up that's causing this issue.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

System information;

Build FreeNAS-9.10.1 (d989edd)
Platform Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
Memory 8162MB

Error message? Does the jail exist? Can you use the cli to jls and jexec into the jail then try service transmission onestart? I bet you are changing the permissions of your pool root recursivly or modifying your jail root somehow.

I don't know if needed to hide anything from this error message for security reasons but here it is. Also I'm attaching the jail's screenshot.

This is the output of 'service transmission restart'


Shell
root@transmission_1:/ # service transmission restart
transmission not running? (check /var/run/transmission/daemon.pid).
usage: chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] owner[:group] file ...

Starting transmission.
su: pam_start: system error
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/transmission: WARNING: failed to start transmission

When I go ahead and try to restart transmission under plug ins it fails and says some issue occurred.


Output of the ls -l /var/db/transmission

Your network settings need to be filled out. Specifically you need to add a default gateway.

Thank you again for follow up.

This is my router settings. I don't know why but I can reach my router web page using either 192.168 1.1 or 0.2

This is my network settings. I tried removing google DNS but I was able to make things work with this settings last night.

These are the errors when I reboot the system;

Name server 1 should not be 192.168.1.7 it should be your Google addresses. Something in your network is messed up.

Forums are messed up today, I'm not seeing all your messages. You have modified the permissions of your jail dataset so all your jails are ruined. You need to rebuild them and never change their permissions or the permissions of your root dataset.

start there. i just double checked mine and IPv4 Default Gateway (which is your router's IP address) should be the same as your Nameserver 1

I would make sure all your network settings are in order and then as @SweetAndLow said, start fresh with your jails. you need to be very careful modifying permissions from the CLI, especially if you don't know really what you're doing. i know this from experience (i'm still a relative noob).
