[Zapt]

Could somebody please post a HOWTO?

[polde]

i will post it next week.

Ntorrent or wtorrent?

for me ntorrent is better because w torrent take too much resources .

Hi,

I've been following the goings-on here, as i've been trying to move from Transmission to RTorrent, but I want a decent webui.

What I dont understand is why fastcgi has a port of 1026 - what is listening on this port?

I'm at the point that rtorrent works and is controllable via ntorrent - so I guess all my XML-RPC and wotnot are configured correctly. I have installed the two .so modules to lighttpd, as directed, and ive copied your configs almost verbatim here, but I still get 500 internal server error while trying to hit install.php. tailing the lighttpd logs shows:

(mod_fastcgi.c.2757) establishing connection failed: Connection refused socket: tcp:127.0.0.1:1026

(mod_fastcgi.c.2703) fcgi-server re-enabled: tcp:127.0.0.1:1026

which makes sense to me, as i dont see anything that should be listening on that port.... please enlighten me!

One other thing - S99rtorrent does not execute by itself on startup, despite being +x. If I run it manually it works fine. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? (im a bit of a linux newbie).

Many thanks for the great work on this thread so far... i'm really happy to have ntorrent and rtorrent working, i'd just like to add the webui if i can...

install the last versions of rtorrent and libtorrent (SVN-1027). The S99rtorrent was reworked there. Post here if it doesn't work again.

used this:

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/php-fcgi.sock",
"bin-path" => "/opt/bin/php-fcgi",
"bin-environment" => (
"PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
"PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "4000"
)
)
)
)

which i found here: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowT...ppUsingFastCGI

re: the S99 thing... i actually replaced my S99 with the one in this thread, then to the very minimal one in this thread because the first one kept failing with sed problems. will the standard S99rtorrent work with this RPC / ntorrent / wtorrent setup?

EDIT: Answer is no. Will have to patch my freshly installed S99rtorrent...

[al37919]

Answer is no

The new S99rtorrent has advantage that it has been rewritten to eliminate need in bash. So, it uses standard /bin/sh as interpreter and it runs fine during startup. The disadvantage for you is that it runs rtorrent as a non root user (which is a recommended way to run p2p software), so either you should follow this guide: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=66875&postcount=19 or edit it similarly to the file on the first page to enable strting by root.

thanks al379... i'll give that a try now

had some weird goings on, like loads and loads of instances of php-fcgi running. might try to get it working the same way guys here have.

actually, on reflection, i might just give up and just use ntorrent - i had that working nicely hmm.. can you get ntorrent in an applet? can we serve applets from the asus?

I get rtorrent working with

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

in lighttpd.conf

and

scgi_port = localhost:5000

in rtorrent.conf instead of scgi_local = /opt/var/run/rpc.socket

Not sure how this "scgi.server =" could help a thing as it is not recognised but the lighttpd ;-)

Starting web server: lighttpd
2008-01-25 13:24:12: (server.c.918) WARNING: unknown config-key: scgi.server (ignored)

Oops... found that ther was "mod_scgi" missing in the list of enabled modules in lighttpd.conf.

[al37919]

had some weird goings on, like loads and loads of instances of php-fcgi running.

To limit number of running processes php-fcgi from something like 8 to something like 2, add the following to the file lighttpd.conf in the section fastcgi.server

"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 1,
"max-load-per-proc" => 4,

Hello friends,
I am novice so
Does it work rtorrent+ntorrent configuration even when my Pc is off?
I am using transsmision, probably if it is working when the Pc is offline I will migrate to this one.

Thanx

rtorrent runs on your router. nTorrent - it's only ånvironment for rtorrent,which runs from u Pc. u can add/delete torrents with ntorrent and after that shutdown your Pc.

today i can't access to myrouter:8081/RPC2.

i have 500 internal server error.

i checked with ipkg list_update, and i found that my router updated rtorrent to:
rtorrent - 0.8.0-1

i can't make it work now.

[t68kv]

yup, we are same bro, after updated to rtorrent 0.8

ow shit hahaha.

anyway i return to sctcs again, cause ntorrent still have a lots of bug and enchancement to do.

[t68kv]

i already fix the issues about upgrade version, sadly to say, you will need to edit the s99torrent manualy again, ill post mine later and also you need to upgrade all software you have in the system.

My only problem now is still getting 500 - Internal Server Error
even rtorrent is started without problem.

[t68kv]

at last i already finish the combination version of rtorrent/libtorrent + settings + php. I took me hours huhuh
