rTorrent + ruTorrent

[ruppo]

What I can see I haven't got any errormsgs during the install, but when I try "screen -list" after I have restarted rTorrent it says "No Sockets found in /tmp/screens/S-root." How come and what to do?

It seeems like I have got everything else to work except I also get the following in the Logger when I go to http://192.168.0.6:8081/rutorrent/
[24.03.2011 20:24:32] WebUI started.
[24.03.2011 20:24:32] Bad response from server: (500 [error,getplugins])
[24.03.2011 20:24:32] Bad response from server: (500 [error,getuisettings])

Hope anyone can help me out so I get it to work...

edit lighttpd configure file /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:

make sure mod_auth is enabled (not commented)

comment out # or add the following

Code: Select all

auth.debug = 2
auth.backend = "plain"
auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.user"

auth.require = ( "/rutorrent/" =>
(
"method" => "basic",
"realm" => "Password protected area",
"require" => "user=<username>"
)
)


create the password file

Code: Select all

nano /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.user


Add username:password

Code: Select all

<username>:<password>

Thank you, thank you very much

I'm a total noob in linux, but I managed to do this.

Ok so new user:

This guide is not working on my new DS211j. I set it up all the way through and couldn't get rtorrent to start so I redid it all.

I had issues with installing optware-devel both times, but after removing and installing wget and wget-ssl several times while trying to install it I finally got it to go through both times.

Everything works up until the point of:

You can check if rtorrent is running on screen by:
getting the screens list with:
screen -list
switching to the rtorrent screen. Return with ctrl+a+d.
screen -r

screen -list respond with "No Sockets found in /tmp/screens/S-root."
Which leads me to believe the d_start() function inside of S99rtorrent is not being run. It is not running the su command seemingly. I can create a screen and then it will show, but after restarting rtorrent no screen is shown.

I went ahead and finished the tutorial the first time around, but it didn't work in the end because of this error. Please help me resolve it.

Try runnin rtorrent manually without any screens. See what happens.

Code: Select all

rtorrent -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

I have the same problem as Kryx.

When I try:

Code: Select all

rtorrent -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

I get the following error:

Code: Select all

rtorrent: Fault occured while inserting xmlrpc call.

What can be wrong and how do I fix it?

doesn't seem to me you've read the wiki...

http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/RTorrent_ruTorrent_HowTo#Troubleshooting

Ahh, my mistake. But now when I try to reinstall xmlrpc I get new erros, as follows:

Code: Select all

Synology> ipkg install gcc svn optware-devel libcurl-dev

Collected errors:

So now I don't know what to do instead. My unix skills ain't that good. How do I fix this?

[Kryx]

Ruppo I had the same issue. That's why I said this guide does not work with the new systems. to get it to install optware-devel you need to remove wget and install wget-ssl and then remove wget-ssl and install wget and then remove wget and install wget-ssl. each time in between trying to install optware-devel. It worked in the end.

Ok so the screen -list option shows choices after reinstalling xmlrpc-c AGAIN after doing all the torrent setup (up til lighttpd). I will update later after I finish the rest of the setup to see if it'll go all the way.

[Kryx]

Ok so it looks like everything works after I fixed what I posted above.

I install all of the plugins and would like to use many of them, but am now having the following issues when viewing rutorrent in my browser:
mediainfo: Plugin will not work. Web-server user can't access external program (mediainfo).
create: Some functionality will be unavailable. rTorrent's user can't access external program (pgrep).
Unpack plugin: rTorrent's user can't access unrar program.
Unpack plugin: rTorrent's user can't access unzip program.

I assume this is a permission's issue. How can I fix it?

[Kryx]

Blah this whole approval process is annoying. I can't edit old posts. If a moderator would like to combine these that would be lovely.

Ok so everything up and running. Shared folder works perfectly. Rss works great, scheduler, etc. All the features of uTorrent and more. So awesome!!

I fixed the errors as such:
Unzip/unrar: ipkg install unzip unrar
pgrep: ipkg install procps (Not essential - for creating torrents)
mediainfo: no fix yet - anyone?

create the password file

Add username:password

Code: Select all

<username>:<password>

I don't get it to really work.

I think I'm doing wrong when I edit lighttpd.user.

My lighttpd.user now looks like (just en example):

Code: Select all

root:123456


is this right or should it be:

Code: Select all

<root>:<123456>


Because as it's now, I get the login screen, but when I try to login it just pops up again, like I have the wrong username or pwd.

I have a DS1511+ and successfully installed rtorrent. My issue is that when I try to save the .torrent file after I create the torrent via the "Create Torrent..." button I get an error. "Error the server did not respond." Any ideas?

thanks

[molecule]

Ruppo,
I tried implementing this fix as well and am having the same issue you are: When I go to the web interface for rTorrent I get prompted for the username and password, but it does not accept the credentials I enter. I've tried both the "username:password" and "<username>:<password>" variations to no avail.

Anyone know of a way to do this? I can't leave my entire torrent list / setup wide open on the internet...

Hi!

I have some questions about the settings of my rtorrent.conf, and could really need some help with that.
My biggest concern is the speed when seeding. I know I don't have problems with my router and ports not being open, because I have had the same port settings earlier on uTorrent on my computer, and then I didn't have any problems with speed.

I can add that I have a 100/100 Mbit connection, so low speeds shouldn't be any problem.

If I check under the settings in ruTorrent I can set some properties under "Other limitations" on the Connections tab. Should I change anything there, and what are the proper settings in the conf file in that case?

Hope that someone understands my problems and are able to help me out. I have pasted rtorrent.conf below, so you can see what settings I have atm.

Regards to lighttpd passwords refer to manual of lighttpd at http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/Docs:ModAuth

Not sure if this is the correct structure, but in it's simplest way, according to manual above, it should be something like this:

/opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Code: Select all

auth.backend = "plain"
auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.user"

auth.require = ( "/rutorrent/" =>
(
"method" => "basic",
"realm" => "Password protected area",
"require" => "valid-user"
)
)


/opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.user

Code: Select all

plaintextuser1:plaintextpassword1
plaintextuser2:plaintextpassword2

Be sure to restart lighttpd after the changes above. Would be great if someone posts if this works (or the working config).
