No connection to rTorrent.

[Skruf90]

Hi, getting:

"No connection 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."

what should I change in config.php?

[jdupl]

Please check if rtorrent is actually started.
As root, run ps -aux | grep rtorrent. This will list running processes that match rtorrent.

@Skruf90 this means rtorrent is not running.
Login as the rtorrent user (or su myuser) and try to start rtorrent with rtorrent.

Which version of the script did you run ?

[Skruf90]

I did the debian squeezy 3.0.2

[jdupl]

squeezy or wheezy ? (squeezy is a mixup of squeeze and wheezy)

Which debian version are you running ?

Can you manually start rtorrent as the user ?

[Skruf90]

I installed it on Debian 6 (Squeeze). I did the rtorrent command as the user and a black window opened with some information.

[jdupl]

Squeeze is not supported by this script.

Your contribution is welcomed to support it, but Debian Squeeze is scheduled for end of life in Febuary 2016.

[jdupl]

My advice would be to start over with a fresh installation of Debian Jessie.

[jdupl]

@Skruf90 Make sure you are indeed running squeeze and not wheezy with cat /etc/issue.

[Skruf90]

@jdupl . I did your command which gave me: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 \n \l.
I have a list of distros that my cpanel allows me to install. There is the following:

• Debian 8 Minimal
• Debian 6 (Squeeze)
• Debian 7

[jdupl]

@Skruf90 i recommend Debian 8 which is Jessie. Remember to run apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade right after the installation. The Jessie script should would flawlessly.

[Skruf90]

@jdupl Ok. I will install Debian 8 and then do the command you are referring to. Will comment with status in some minutes.

[Skruf90]

@jdupl Ok. Did a clean install of Debian 8 and the commands you mentioned. Then it was time for the script install. Created a new user with sudo access to install the script on. Script then installed, but I cannot enter the rutorrent page. There is "The requested URL /rutorrent/ was not found on this server.".

So I'm almost giving up here. Will ask for someone to remote desktop me or something and install everything for me, so I can learn at the same time.

I can ssh and see what's going on.
This is kind of shady, but to allow me to ssh with root access, nano /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and copy paste this line :

ssh-rsa AAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDdn7lkryIAQZALu9jMLiUN32osq4u3e8Lbk8881iDY60hOLNtcetYKu8YQSZght95en6LicSLWLBZzCqwwzs0gNyXDZc0mlknp/8o7UhF5BwrrXlsqBK0Y+J78TFnWKWx/NTGQYIEYsnU8JQu3scaaOl66nEK3cwjhIdvsdOHDe8BEvPGB8IMV/0AEexfTLftVLa+wm7ZUdvpBZsrIXOcjprGorhHCd2fjmgQ48wIUg7yMmc467N8VRwvLpvnYshbt07X6i3ddNmJKKgp6k8nckfIAQ3EACZckc4Ct5QnllM70G2muJphhp+38cUJAuixy8L11UrlYAMYkNRawR/wj [email protected]

Then save the file and send the IP of the server to [email protected]. Again, this will grant me root access on your server (that means you have high trust for me).

After I am done, remove the line from the file and change all your passwords on this server.

Keep in mind that a root user can do many powerful things and theses procedures will not block a malicious person to come back (if the malicious person did some of these powerful things).

I will try to see what's going on with your installation. If this fails, I will run the script again and watch out for errors.

[Skruf90]

@jdupl Email sent.

[jdupl]

@Skruf90 looks like you installed the script for Debian Wheezy (7) =/.

You are running Debian Jessie (8).
