403 error on Transmission web interface

I'm not sure if it was the change to systemd or a recent update, but I can no longer reach the transmission interface. I get a 403 error.

I followed the transmission guide on the wiki

output of 'systemctl status transmission.service'

I think

Saved "/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json" (bencode.c:1733)

means that it is writing settings.json rather than reading it?

My previous settings.json seems to have disappeared, so here is the new one:

Is this RPC? file permissions? Not sure where to start.

Re: 403 error on Transmission web interface

No problem.

Here is /etc/systemd/system/transmission.service

[Unit]
Description=Transmission Bit Torrent Daemon

# This assumes that a user 'transmission' exists, with a writeable homedirectory,
# and that /run/transmission exists and is writeable by the transmission user.

[Service]
User=transmission
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/transmission/transmission.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/transmission-daemon --pid-file /run/transmission/transmission.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here is /etc/tmpfiles.d/transmission.conf

d /run/transmission - transmission transmission -

the file I posted previously is from /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json .   Is that what you mean? Is there a transmission-daemon config file somewhere else?
