Script for automated rtorrent installation with rutorrent for Ubuntu 10.04!

[CyberAngel]

OS: Ubuntu v10.04 32bits

I´ve followed the next steps:

- Uploaded through FTP "rtorrent_server.sh" to /home/myusername
- chmod +x /home/myusername/rtorrent_server.sh
- sudo /home/myusername/rtorrent_server.sh myusername

The install goes well but i see the next error msg:

cannot find readable config /home/myusername/.rtorrent.rc. check that it is there and permissions a     re appropriate

After that i done:

sudo apt-cache policy rtorrent
rtorrent:
  Installiert: 0.8.6-3~patricksissons0
  Kandidat: 0.8.6-3~patricksissons0
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 0.8.6-3~patricksissons0 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/patricksissons/rtorrent/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

     0.8.6-1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages

But when i log in the WebUI rTorrent doesn´t work:

[21.01.2011 20:53:48] WebUI started.
[21.01.2011 20:53:48] Bad link to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file.
[21.01.2011 20:53:48] rssurlrewrite: Plugin will not work. It require existence of plugin(s) rss

As you told us before, i tried to re-download & re-upload the script from this thred but i have always the same problem so i cannot use rTorrent properly...

I would like to know how to fix this problem or at least know how to unistall the whole script for do a manual setup of rTorrent + ruTorrent

Thanks for all!

Run the following commands and every change related to rtorrent and rutorrent will be wiped out
Well, to be more exact, the repository added will not be removed and apache will not be removed too (someone might had apache installed before running this script).

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove rtorrent
sudo rm -f /home/<user-you-used-install>/.rtorrent.rc
sudo rm -rf /home/<user-you-used-install>/rtorrent
sudo update-rc.d -f rtorrentInit.sh remove
sudo rm /etc/init.d/rtorrentInit.sh
sudo rm -rf /var/www/rutorrent
sudo a2dissite rutorrent
sudo rm -f /etc/apache2/sites-available/rutorrent

Reboot your computer.

Ok, all rtorrent paths & configs are now removed, again thanks for your fast anwser & useful information.

Now i would like to offer you a custom quote, as a linux user i always try to learn and fix all the problems i usually have with it. All we know that are a lot of nice how-to around Internet for install this manually, anyway i will love to know why i can´t install and run properly this script under my box.

About the box, i will be glad of share my dedicated (Will be used as plain seedbox rTorrent+FTP without GNOME/KDE or any kind of graphical interface, it has 500GB of HDD @ 100Mbps [5TB Bandwitdh per month] and i haven´t used it a lot during the last days. It has a default Ubuntu v10.04 x32 OS.

Before start the installation process, i create a new user called rt, after that i put them into the sudoers file. I uploaded the rtorrent_server.sh script and type:

chmod +x /home/rt/rtorrent_server.sh
sudo /home/rt/rtorrent_server.sh rt

I have to mention that i use the repositories of HostNoc (UK), could it cause my installation problems? It´s hard to understand that when other users over this thread run & install all without any problem,

Thanks for your help bro

Now it's weird to say....
Do you see any step failing in the script?
Any error in the output when the script runs?

A good way to debug this is to go step by step and do everything the script does by hand just by copy/paste commands from within the script.

The script won't work with Ubuntu 10.10....
Only 10.04.

Check the first post once more

i bumped into some problems with this script.

i ran it with my mainuser and almost everything worked out of the box, except trafic plugin. the plugin does not show any graphs. is there something you are aware of?

wooh? all of a sudden it's working... sorry guys having same problem i have no clue what i did change. i did some chmod but eventually changed it back, ohh i actually tried

http://server/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php

but if this made the trick alot of other plugins should not work aswell?
