msimon1960 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm using uTorrent 1.7.5 stable on a MS Vista Home Basic fileserver in my home.I've enabled the webui interface. The ip of the server is 192.168.0.2 and the port is 12184 which is 'open' according to uTorrent's internal diagnostics.I'm trying to connect to the file server from another workstation on my home network at 192.168.0.10 running XP Pro full patched under IE 7 using the URL:http://192.168.0.2:12184/gui/All I get is 'invalid request'Any suggestions?Matt.

Lord Alderaan Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 invalid request usually means u forgot the /gui/ or didn't enable the webui in the preferences.See this post further down for detailed information about the Invalid Request error.

msimon1960 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Your Lordship,I did both -- the webui is enabled and I'm using http://192.168.0.2:12184/gui/ to try and access the web interface.Most of the instructions in the forums concern earlier versions -- I'm using the latest version 1.7.5 downloaded fresh last week.Matt.

jewelisheaven Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 That was changed to mean invalid port in an earlier version..But, under Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> WebUI can you verify if you limited IP address access, that you enabled access from 192.168.0.255/24 ?

Lord Alderaan Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 The invalid request error looks like this:If you have a different problem then this is the wrong topic to read and post in. Please check this topic for other problems and info.Back on topic:In short 'Invalid Request' means that you did connect to µtorrent but connected to its 'incoming connections' listener instead of the webui.This happens when:you didn't enable the webuiyou mistyped or forgot the /gui/ part of the url (like in the example above)you connected to the µtorrent port instead of the webui alt port (IF you enabled it)you are not in the restricted list* (IF you enabled it by filling in one or more addresses)you are entering a request url (an url with a ? in it) without supplying the (correct) token (IF webui.token_auth** is enabled), too late in the list of GET variables.* Under some circumstances the restricted list might have 'NaN' in it. If this is the case anybody trying to access the webui will get an invalid request error, to solve this issue simply empty the restricted list.** Having this enabled is a GOOD thing. It increases security greatly. As of 2.0 it is even enabled by default. See this topic for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msimon1960 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Ah, the webui and the listener port have to be different.I enabled the webuiI set the webui alt port to 60660I'm trying to access the workstation at http://192.168.0.2:60660/gui/I have no restrictions on the IP's allowed to connect (blank)I'm challenged for credentials now. Then nothing -- blank screen, no message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 What are the messages in your GUI logger tab? "Errors" at the very least needs to be enabled to see WebUI error messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Blank Screen is different from Invalid Request. It means you misplaced webui.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axxies Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I had the very same error. Then I read the readme/install text file. Everything is there.* You should not unzip the webui.zip* You should put it where it should beAs I said... It's all in that file.Good luck.

Ultima Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The Logger tab is in µTorrent. If you don't know what we're referring to, press F5 in µTorrent a few times, and you'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Even after you try visiting the web UI? What version of µTorrent are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttan Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 oh, now when i start utorrent it says : Unable to listen for HTTP traffic on port 36266.. any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Change listening ports (in Preferences > Connection, or Preferences > Advanced > Web UI if you already have an alternative listening port set), and make sure you've forwarded it and allowed it through your firewall.

muttan Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 this is fucking amazing!!! bnut why doesnt it work on port 8080 )= ? thats the one i want to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 if you chose the port and it doesn't work, it's 'cause your firewall is blocking it or some other app is already using that port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ...because you have something ELSE already running on port 8080? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttan Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 okej! how can i check what is going on port 8080 ? cuz i really need this thing to be on port 8080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Start > Run > cmd /k netstat /aIf you see a connection with local address using :8080, and with state being "LISTENING", then something else is using the port for listening.Question: When you set the port to 8080, what happens when you try accessing http://localhost:8080/gui?

muttan Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 port 8080: it says invalid request (at home for me) but at my school the usernamn och password windows shows, and when i put the right info it comes up again like i would have written wrong, and on and on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 invalid request means you have something set up improperly. Again, what happens in the Logger tab when you get that error? The error shouldn't even be spit back unless you successfully connected to µTorrent in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
