I had managed to install the FreeNAS 0.69 (Kwisatz Haderach) server on one of my old PC. I would say it’s a great piece of software that has features such as CIFS/SMB, NFS, RSync and etc.
However I encountered a problem while trying to use Bittorrent service with the following configuration.
The problem is
Connection Failed
Could not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect.
Configuration for Bittorrent
Port: 9091
Download directory: /mnt/Disk (mounted drive)
Configuration directory: blank
After spending hours of trying to find the actual cause, it’s because of default port (9091) used by FreeNAS acccording to admius’s post from FreeNAS forum https://apps.sourceforge.net/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=104&sid=cebebf6b1276cd38a3fb30af0b3d9b0a#p437
Changed the port to 9000 instead of default 9091.
Port: 9000
Download directory: /mnt/Disk (mounted drive)
Configuration directory: blank
