Use Torrential as web interface for Enhanced-Ctorrent:)

[Kopaxi]

Hey thanks for this ! it worked great for me, but as soon as i close my Telnet session the web stops working for me ??? any clues??

Hi, first of all thanks for the great idea, it works great after a little working. The Enhanced-Ctorrent 3.2.9 or 3.1.9 (i don't know, the latest in the packages) works fine, with the maximum bandwith in up/download. I buyed this box only for the torrent downloading, and this is the simplest and the first of fully working thing for this function i read in the last one year, so i'm starting to like this box after one year sucking

Fullback: in the first run, when i closed the telnet session the web interface closed me too, but after a little searching on the appWeb site, i found the right solution. If you install the "screen", you can start the appweb in the second session. After you can detach that screen session and exit from the telnet window, the web interface is still working fine. If you want to, you can write the whole procedure into the rc.local file.

so, good luck!

just add the start rule to rc.local and you are done.

I get the following error when it goes to the home page

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /opt/var/appWeb/web/torrential/dyn_stopped.php on line 65

The appWeb looks OK and is obviously accpeting connections. Have I missed anything ? enhanced-torrent looks OK and is in the path. I also noticed

default:1 pool.0 Error: 404 "Not Found" for "/favicon.ico", file "/opt/var/appWeb/web/favicon.ico": Can't access URL

in the appWeb error log. Does anyone know what these means ?

I'm having the exact same problem. I installed Torrential a few days ago and initially it worked well, downloaded a few larger torrents. But started recieving the below error on a few of the last torrents.

I decided to take a look at the PHP logic and how the insterface works (I've never done any PHP or Linux programming, but it looks pretty straight forward).

When you start a download, it shells to the enhanced-ctorrent client and outputs the results to a .stat file in the configured BT download directory. It also outputs the PID to the corresponding .pid file.

So for filename.torrent you'd have filename.pid and filename.stat.

The dyn_stopped.php that's causing the issue gets a list of files from the BT download directory. If it ends with .stat/.pid it thinks it's running. It tries to parse the .stat file to determine the status. You can view the .stat file at anytime to see where the download is at.

The problem with the .stat file is that it grows during the download. Enhanced-ctorrent appends the status to the file.

It seems that torrents that are having communication issues (can't connect to tracker or download) are causing the problem for me - but I've only downloaded a handful of torrents.

If you want get the page displaying, kill the process using the id from the corresponding .pid file then delete the .pid and .stat file. Your torrents will appear in stopped status. This obviously doesn't fix the problem, but at least you can start new torrents and maintain the ones that were running.

I tried changing the KeepAliveTimeout in /opt/var/appWeb/appWeb.conf from 30 to 90, but didn't make any difference, I'm not sure if this the right timer but it's the only one that's 30 in this .conf file.

Not sure what else, I noticed the code in dyn_stopped.php does a fopen on the .stat file but doesn't have any corresponding fclose, any PHP programmers out there have any thoughts on this?

Also, could Torrential run under a different PHP web server? Does the lighttpd provide similar functionality?

Anyone come up with a solution for these issues? I have Made nearly the whole root Chmod 777 but nothing works

Took a stab at the below (timeout issue). What appears to happen if the file hasn't started downloading, so 0% completed, the timeout error occurs. The percentage is calculated by rounding the downloadedamount/downloaded size. If it is 0, then it hangs, I think it's having a problem with the zero character. Can duplicate using this basic PHP script:
<?php
echo "" . @round("0"*100/"242342"). "\n\r";
?>

Made a change to dyn_progress.php in /opt/var/appWeb/web/torrential to check if downloaded amount is zero. Seems to work for me. I've attached the modified script, make a copy of the existing dyn_progress.php before updating.

I'm curious if this is a PHP bug or just how it deals with 0 character.
