Script for automated rtorrent installation with rutorrent for Ubuntu 10.04!

[CyberAngel]

I got the following at the end of the install.

Adding password for user flamebait
 * Restarting web server apache2                                                                                                       * We failed to correctly shutdown apache, so we're now killing all running apache processes. This is almost certainly suboptimal, so please make sure your system is working as you'd expect now!
 ... waiting Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/rutorrent:
Invalid command 'SCGIMount', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                                                                                               [fail]
cannot find rtorrent binary in PATH /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin

Installation was succesful
You can now navigate to http://127.0.0.1/rutorrent and login using user: flamebait and the password you provided.

Can't connect via htpp:/remote-server-ipdddress/rutorrent. Not sure how to proceed.
Can't start rutorrent "command not found"

How have you ran the script?
Using sudo?
Are you sure that all of the packages got installed during the installation process?
Have you seen any errors before reaching the end of the script?

I see two obvious errors there:

Invalid command 'SCGIMount', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                                                                                               [fail]
cannot find rtorrent binary in PATH /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin

This means that something most probably went wront with the installation of the packages.

I got this same issue. I can't figure out how to get past this.

Have you ran the script in am Ubuntu 10.04? I haven't tried it in any other version of Ubuntu and I am pretty sure that it will not work, because as I see the ppa repository I used for rtorrent supports only Karmic and Lucid (https://launchpad.net/~patricksissons/+archive/rtorrent).

Have you ran the script with sudo like this?:

sudo ./rtorrent_server.sh <your_user_name>

Run this command in the command line and try to run the script again:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:patricksissons/rtorrent

[imasickboy]

cannot find rtorrent binary in PATH /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin

I have not used this script, however, that problem should be easily remedied:

sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf

add line:

include /usr/local/lib

then:

sudo ldconfig

Now rtorrent should start.

I have gone ahead and done this with CyberAngel's script but made to work with ispconfig aswell (this was my goal) i can work on one that works with out is (a base ubuntu install).

it has been modded only run the install script once

but for now

./rtorrent_server

let it install
then

addrtoruser <user> <port> <client> <web>

to start/stop a user run

/etc/init.d/rtorrentInit.sh <start|stop|restart> <user>

Get it here
http://www.aditlfai.com/rtorrent.html
It will not break an ubuntu system.
rtorrent just might not work like some other people who are unlucky

***UPDATE!!!****
added

removertoruser

***1.9 update****
This is not done, it works but does not have the ui i said i would put.
added a

--upgrade

flag
it will now install on ubuntu 10.04+ servers, if a deiban user wants to test, they are free too.

Where can we download your script? Is it working yet?

[mizifih]

It's not working here. It says "Installation was succesful", told me to restart apache2, I did, but it´s not working, "bad link to rtorrent" message.

Installed using

chmod +x rtorrent_server.sh
sudo ./rtorrent_server.sh <username>

Running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS

apt-cache policy rtorrent

Does this mean that you can see the web interface of rutorrent?

[mizifih]

Does this mean that you can see the web interface of rutorrent?

I can see it, but it's very limited, with option button (with very limite options avaliable) and also says that rtorrent was not running or not responding. I could see some tabs on the bottom part of the screen, not only registry tab, but that's pretty much all I could see.

So, I could see the WebUI, was asked for password to access it, but it was not working with rtorrent at all.

But I found another script, and it's been working, so far. So don't get bothered with this

We're cool

I really appretiate your time and effort. I used your script a lot in the past, A LOT! I mean, past... wrong choice of word, I was using it 'til day before yesterday

Thank you.

[Nice boy]
