Yet another web front-end for rTorrent

Yet another web front-end for rTorrent

Code is based on uTorrent WebUI.
Screenshot:
http://vif2ne.ru/nvk/stuff/novik/rtorrent/webui.jpg

Prerequisites
1) rTorrent (i recommend version >= 0.8.2)
2) Web server with php support (lighttpd, for example)
3) Web browser. IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3, Opera 9.x, Safari 3.x, Konqueror 3.5.x are supported.

Installation
1) Download this - http://vif2ne.ru/nvk/stuff/novik/rto...torrent.tar.gz [140K], unpack it to www root directory.
2) Next - standard dance around /RPC2.
- add line

Code:

scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000

to rtorrent.conf
- add scgi gateway to web server. For example, for lighttpd - in lighttpd.conf uncomment (or add) line "mod_scgi" in server.modules section, edit (or add) section scgi.server like this:

Code:

scgi.server = ( "/RPC2" => ( "127.0.0.1" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 5000, "check-local" => "disable" ) ) )

3) In web browser go to http://router.ip:www_port/rtorrent

WOW!

This is the best UI for rtorrent. Icredibly easy to install ("install", hehehe), looks good, and most importantly, works (as opposed to quite a few other UI I've tried that didn't).

I like the interface, it is very alike to uTorrent WebInterface.
I set it up (following instructions) but cannot make it to work. I am getting error in Logger:

can I please get more details regarding this error?

EDIT: It turned out that I just forgot to restart router.

403?

Hi

Ive just set this up in preference to nTorrent (the java remote controller app I was using). I already had lighttpd and the xmlrpc stuff setup, and the config looks identical to whats posted here.

If i SSH into the router and connect to the webui from lynx, it looks fine. However, if I try to connect via a ssh-forwarded port (eg localhost:8081) i get a 403 Forbidden notice.

Any ideas?

I get a ?xml error with title 403 forbidden and h1 forbidden, then all i see is "loading" .
The permissions look ok to me, and i "install" this 3 times, but no go in any browser.
Some help here pls.
And i do restart ..

Is this your own creation, or based off of another rtorrent frontend? I'm not using this on an asus router but a standalone torrent box.

This is by far the best looking rtorrent webui I've seen. Will you continue to support this and do you have a project page?

I'm getting this response when rtorrent is working more than few hours, and then i reboot server and all download need do be checked [few hours to check all of them..] how can i solve this problem??

2) Next - standard dance around /RPC2.
- add line

Code:

scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000

novik,

Can you add initial seeding option in torrent properties?

Available in v2.4, see "torrent properties" dialog. For finished torrents only.

The GUI is really great, work like a charm, looks good too!

I have one little problem: sizes above are shown wrong (-82349242). I.e. singed 32bit int overflow. Is it my rtorrent(compiled wrong) or the webui, or php?

Any hints would be appreciated :)

and keep up the great work!

You need to install new version of xmlrpc-c library (>=1.11) and recompile rtorrent after that.

Is it possible to access this with external ip:port from work etc and not just internal?

With logins ofc.

Hmm and webui just says "loading" and nothing happens.

I'm using lighthttpd with php5-cgi on debian lenny.
And rtorrent 0.8.5-2 from packages system.

EDIT: Never mind - working now. Permissions troubles
