Thread: Yet another web front-end for rTorrent

  1. #1

    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).

    Question

    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:
    [06:22:01] WebUI started.
    [06:22:02] Bad response: (500) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>500 - Internal Server Error</title> </head> <body> <h1>500 - Internal Server Error</h1> </body> </html>
    can I please get more details regarding this error?

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

    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?

    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?

    Code:
    scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
    what's this about ?

    read again. The full statement is:
    - add line
    Êîä:

    Code:
    scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
    to rtorrent.conf
