How-to: Installing Torrent-Flux

[neptune]

Is TorrentFlux dead or being developed elsewhere / under a different name? The main torrentflux website and package hasn´t been updated in a long time....

Hi,

I had a torrentflux working on my server for a long time, it was set up by a friend who had good skills with linux debian..

Now my server crashed and the torrentflux webpage gives me a 403 error, I 've read multiple guides and cant understand how I can start it again, as everything is set and working this shouldn't be too tricky but i'm noob :/

I understand this is ubuntu but its pretty similar and i'm pretty desperate, I hope someone can help me !

Thanks in advance

Hoping some one may be able to help.

I have installed Torrentflux and it was working fine now out of the blue the Torrent list has disappeared. I ma able to upload new torrents to the service but can not see the list to start the torrent downloading. Any ideas?

I have rebooted my server several; times and created new users but the new user accounts also do not display the torrent list...

Hi,
I want to use TorrentFlux 2.4 on my free hosting plan for test it.
Every things are ok;
Perl, Phyton, PHP, MySQL....


I installed TorrentFlux. Database settings, TF files CHMOD's... etc. Installing is ok.
But I'm getting these errors on site and I can't execute torrent files for download;

Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/fthsglm/public_html/functions.php on line 1951

I believe TorrentFlux project is dead and out of maintenance, I'm using uTorrent, it works good so far

To anyone who had a problem with the MySQL part of this when getting to the database creation/find - this is what I had to do to get round it:

If you get his error:
Query Error: CREATE TABLE tf_test ( tf_key VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL default '', tf_value TEXT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (tf_key) ) TYPE=MyISAM

The bit at the end TYPE=MyISAM is no longer valid in the version of MySQL currently installed on Ubuntu Server 12.04 - you have to edit the following file in /var/www/torrentflux/html/inc/install/queries.install.php to replace TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM.

After that, provided you have got your other information correct, it should work fine.

My god... this, right here solved all my problems! Finding this answer was like finding a needle in a haystack. I've been pulling my hair out for the last few hours.

THANKS!
