Daemon won't bind incoming ports if listen_interface is defined

[mariusk]

Machine with public IP on eth0 and tested without firewall. Incoming range: 52000:52049 Outgoing range: 52050:52100

GTK UI says "active port: 0" no matter what I fill in the fields. netstat -ap shows only connections > 52049. I am both seeding and downloading.

Ubuntu 9.10 with deluge ppa, same problem in 9.04 and at least present since 1.2.0rc1. May have been in earlier versions without me noticing.

Attached startup debug log with torrents and IP removed.

Trimmed deluged startup debug log.

This works for me.

Are you sure nothing else is using those ports? The log provided looks normal and it appears to be setting the proper listen port range.

The same thing happens to me on 1.2.3. I've checked the port range and nothing else is listening in that range at all.

(Running on Ubuntu server 10.04)

Could you check 1.3.0rc1 please, 1.2.3 isn't the latest version.

Replying to damoxc:

I'm using the deluge-ppa on Ubuntu, which is up-to-date. How can I update it to 1.3.0rc1?

Thanks

I just figured out how to build from source. I'm now at 1.3.0_rc1. The problem is still there.

Having the same issue here. Occurs on 1.2.2 and 1.3.1. My range is configured for 52001-52009. Will not use a random port either.

Reproduce:

netstat -nPi4 | grep deluge | grep LISTEN

deluged   32262 kevin    8u  IPv4 19677168      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   24u  IPv4 19679972      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)

58846 = Daemon RPC, 9992 = WebUI

Hmm, I just got to thinking... what happens if I remove the 'interface' declaration (set to eth1):

deluged   32262 kevin    8u  IPv4 19677168      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   24u  IPv4 19685133      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   34u  IPv4 19685135      0t0  TCP *:52001 (LISTEN)

Well lookie there! How about a random port?

deluged   32262 kevin    8u  IPv4 19677168      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   24u  IPv4 19687214      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   34u  IPv4 19687216      0t0  TCP *:59633 (LISTEN)

Ok, now put the interface declaration back in, and go back to port range:

deluged   32262 kevin    8u  IPv4 19677168      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   24u  IPv4 19687986      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   34u  IPv4 19687216      0t0  TCP *:59633 (LISTEN)

Nope. Stuck:

deluged   32262 kevin    8u  IPv4 19677168      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   24u  IPv4 19687986      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)
deluged   32262 kevin   34u  IPv4 19687216      0t0  TCP *:59633 (LISTEN)

Restart daemon?

deluged   32455 kevin    8u  IPv4 19688448      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32455 kevin   28u  IPv4 19688474      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)

Gone. Remove interface, go back to port range, restart daemon:

deluged   32477 kevin    8u  IPv4 19689573      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:58846 (LISTEN)
deluged   32477 kevin    9u  IPv4 19689577      0t0  TCP *:52001 (LISTEN)
deluged   32477 kevin   29u  IPv4 19689614      0t0  TCP *:9992 (LISTEN)

BINGO

Workaround: don't specify a listen_interface.

[Calum]

I see that you mentioned using eth1 but the interface setting should be an ip address.

[thekev]

Using IP worked. I should have posted back. This is a documentation issue.
