@MarkusLange How did you install ruTorrent? Are there any errors in the "Log" tab?

[MarkusLange]

I install it with the help of a script.
only this error:
[21.02.2023 00:19:45] WebUI started.
[21.02.2023 00:19:46] Keine Verbindung zu rTorrent. Überprüfe ob es wirklicht läuft. Überprüfe $scgi_port und $scgi_host Einstellungen in config.php und scgi_port in der rTorrent Konfigurationsdatei.
but rpc nor httprpc are loaded.

working:

apt-cache depends libapache2-mod-php8.2 | grep Depends
difference: Depends: libssl1.1

not working:

apt-cache depends libapache2-mod-php8.2 | grep Depends
difference: Depends: libssl3

both with the PHP reposity from Ondřej Surý

[stickz]

That error is the reason why it's not working. Ensure the PATH variable for PHP is properly set.

I did that restarted apache2, that was not the solution

Is there a way to increase the loglevel from rutorrent? errors.log is empty

[MarkusLange]

little update:
on ubuntu:
if I set the rpc on open.port and the rutorrent config also it works
rtorrent.rc
network.scgi.open_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
/conf/config.php
$scgi_port = 5000;
$scgi_host = "127.0.0.1";
but if I use open.local it's not working
rtorrent.rc
network.scgi.open_local = (cat,(session.path),rpc.socket)
/conf/config.php
$scgi_port = 0;
$scgi_host = "unix:///home/ubuntu/rtorrent/.session/rpc.socket";

the apache vhost conf also may I miss something

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/ruTorrent-4.0.2
        <Directory "/var/www/ruTorrent-4.0.2">
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
        # error, crit, alert, emerg.
        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rutorrent_error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rutorrent.log vhost_combined
</VirtualHost>

IMHO:
Looks like there is something in Ubuntu that has changed between the Versions and its not actuall a problem with ruTorrent itself, it still works in Debian 11

[liaralabs]

Is your www-data user able to read the socket? There may be permission issues on the way to the rpc.socket you've created (i.e on the socket itself or on the directories on the way to the socket -- /home/user being a dir that typically gets set 750 for security reasons). But you're correct, this is likely not an issue with ruTorrent in particular.

Generally speaking, home directories aren't a great place for unix socket that need to be read by other users. /var/run//run is sort of the de-facto place for these ephemeral objects that only live as long as the application does.

network.scgi.open_local = /var/run/liara/.rtorrent.sock
schedule2 = chmod_scgi_socket, 0, 0, "execute2=chmod,\"g+w,o=\",/var/run/liara/.rtorrent.sock"

This creates the socket, then sets the group to have write permissions and "other" no permissions -- www-data is in the group for liara so the www-data user can access this socket without issue.

[MarkusLange]

Some exhausting days, at first you are right @liaralabs the socket has to be in /run (for my explain the rtorrent put all in a compact stucture usually inside the users homedir, including the socket) also as far as I can evaluate the best place for samba/ftp/torrents is the /srv folder not the users home, but now to the intersting part Ubuntu had until 22.04 755 for home and now 750 debian has still 755. So everything was fine until Ubuntu makes a move. So thanks @liaralabs for the hint.

[stickz]

Did you find a solution to your problem @MarkusLange?

[MarkusLange]

Yes @stickz I describe it, mostly explained by @liaralabs allready
My Solution (I use the rtorrent Template, and Apache Server)
A.
is to set everything including home to 755 and give the user www-data group permissions to the rtorrent user, but this will break the privacy so it's the wrong way, we will not talk about it again.
B.
is a bit more complex

1. add the group www-data to the user who runs rtorrent
2. create a /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rtorrent.conf because /run will be cleaned on startup

#Type Path            Mode UID      GID        Age Argument
d     /run/rtorrent   0775 www-data www-data   -   -

3. change this lines inside .rtorrent.rc

#network.scgi.open_local = (cat,(session.path),rpc.socket)
#execute.nothrow = chmod,770,(cat,(session.path),rpc.socket)

to

network.scgi.open_local = /run/rtorrent/rpc.socket
execute.nothrow = chmod,776,/run/rtorrent/rpc.socket

4. change this lines inside the config.php from ruTorrent

        $scgi_port = 5000;
        $scgi_host = "127.0.0.1";

to

        $scgi_port = 0;
        $scgi_host = "unix:///run/rtorrent/rpc.socket";

5. move the basedir to /srv like /srv/rtorrent/ and set the group to www-data, if not the rutracker_check will not work it needs access to the sessiondata.

I hope I didn't forget nothing but I will all integrate in this script for the better use.

[stickz]

Excellent. Thanks for posting your solution. I'm going to close this issue report off now, since it's been resolved.

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee

May you can take a look at this https://github.com/MarkusLange/r_ru-torrent-install-script supports rutorrent updates

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee

So its a bit on own risk, but I wrote a script that let you remove Bercik installation while keeping the torrents and move them to a common location for the script above, may you can test it on a seperate system to get comfortable with it, I have tested it on a vm and it worked fine, stored under misc

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

What version is your RuTorrent?

[MarkusLange]

It will allways be the latest (but you can choose), and as I mentioned upgrading is allways possible

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

How will it work if version v4.2.9 comes out? I will have installed v4.2.6!!!

[MarkusLange]

@MarkusLange

How will it work if version v4.2.9 comes out? I will have installed v4.2.6!!!

@GitHub-BumBleBee easy, you use this point (marked blue):

follow the directions and the script will do the rest, it will install your selected ruTorrent version and will create and edit all needed files to use the newly installed version

Btw. you can test it run this (blue marked)

choose an older version and try an update

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

Thank you for your patience with me. I am from Brazil. I will test your script.

[MarkusLange]

@MarkusLange

Thank you for your patience with me. I am from Brazil. I will test your script.

@GitHub-BumBleBee

You are wellcome, i hope it helps

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

The installation went well!! But I can't change the folder where the torrents are saved

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee

Ah yeah, the use is a bit ruff, there is link how to use it:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/249965/how-to-navigate-in-dialogs-file-and-directory-selectors

Did you remove the Bercik installation also? I had to update the removescript because it did not ask for root privileges

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange I want to change this directory

https://i.postimg.cc/gkTnTd1D/Captura-de-tela-2023-09-19-040929.png

I want it to stay like this: /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange I don't want anything else added to the directory.

I don't want to save any more configuration in the directory.

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange If you don't understand something, please let me know.

[MarkusLange]

/arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE

I did'nt understand this " /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE" is that a folder?

You have an link to /srv/rtorrent/... inside the home of your user!

the cyan one this will lead you directly to the folder

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

Friend, that path would be a folder where my files are located.

I need to configure rutorrent to save it inside the folder.

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

Remembering my friend that I only want to leave my files in the folder and nothing else.

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee
Go this way:

then this

and set the folder direct (green cursor)

and remove this files direcly inside the folder /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE:
*.libtorrent_resume
*.rtorrent
so that rtorrent/rutorrent grep the files again

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

I do what he asked but he doesn't do it...

https://i.postimg.cc/fLGKtkxH/Captura-de-tela-2023-09-19-070037.png

https://i.postimg.cc/FHHjK0Mr/Captura-de-tela-2023-09-19-070235.png

The location looks like this: /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE/rtorrent/download

I don't want.
I want it like this: /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

I did what you said, but nothing happened.

Did I do it in the wrong place?

https://i.postimg.cc/RFWpMHcW/Captura-de-tela-de-2023-09-19-10-01-32.png

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

If it's better for you friend. Make changes to the script. Then I will do a new installation. But test it first.

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee

ah okay do at first:
unlink /srv/rtorrent/

and did you move the rtorrent basedir with the script back to /srv/? This is necessary

an let me see whats inside the folder /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE/ from the terminal

[MarkusLange]

@MarkusLange

If it's better for you friend. Make changes to the script. Then I will do a new installation. But test it first.

I can't and won't change the script only to fit your needs I can help you to adapt your wishes as best I can

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange Just a question, what time is it now?

https://i.postimg.cc/Nfm5LGYF/Captura-de-tela-de-2023-09-19-10-32-29.png

https://i.postimg.cc/RCn0bCWd/Captura-de-tela-de-2023-09-19-10-34-01.png

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee

Whats inside the folder BUMBLEBEE? And whats inside the folder /srv/torrent

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

Would you accept 1 payment for the change?

[MarkusLange]

@MarkusLange

Would you accept 1 payment for the change?

I won't accept payment in any way, but I can help you to get this working, so show me the folder from the terminal so I can see what happend there and if there allready any softlinks

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

Change the script and send it to me via a cloud. You don't need to update the website. I do whatever it takes.

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange I'll send you what's inside the folders.

[MarkusLange]

@MarkusLange

Change the script and send it to me via a cloud. You don't need to update the website. I do whatever it takes.

Problem I don't know your system, so I can't adapt it in thin air

Seriously? This smells a bit like a troll to me… :-)

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

One question. I use 2 disks. Being 1 for the Linux Mint 21.02 system. And 1 for the files.
The /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE folder is on disk 2, 4TB

[MarkusLange]

@MarkusLange

Seriously? This smells a bit like a troll to me… :-)

@jakobbg
I know what you mean, try to ignore

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

What to do? On 4TB disk 2, I have 2TB of personal files.

[MarkusLange]

try to create the softlink with sudo rights

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

I already tried, and it didn't work. If it doesn't work for you to change this suggestion. I'll leave it alone. And stop using ruTorrent!

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

I don't want to be disrupting anyone's life. Thank you for your help.

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange I will remove everything

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee

Don't you have anyone around who can set a softlink to the folder by hand? Or the other way around share the folder download like you did it with the folder BUMBLEBEE so you will see both on Windows

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

I know how to do what I said. But what I need now would be to configure rutorrent for the location I choose. /arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE

[MarkusLange]

@GitHub-BumBleBee try this

In .rtorrent.rc under /srv/rtorrent/

first lines below:

#############################################################################
# A minimal rTorrent configuration that provides the basic features
# you want to have in addition to the built-in defaults.
#
# See https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/CONFIG-Template

#############################################################################


## Instance layout (base paths)
method.insert = cfg.basedir,  private|const|string, (cat,"/srv/rtorrent/")
method.insert = cfg.download, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"download/")
method.insert = cfg.logs,     private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"log/")
method.insert = cfg.logfile,  private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.logs),"rtorrent-",(system.time),".log")
method.insert = cfg.session,  private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),".session/")
method.insert = cfg.watch,    private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"watch/")

change this line:
method.insert = cfg.download, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"download/")
to
method.insert = cfg.download, private|const|string, (cat,"/arq.upload/BUMBLEBEE/")

and we will see if this does the trick

after this:
sudo systemctl restart rtorrent.service is needed

[GitHub-BumBleBee]

@MarkusLange

It worked out!!!
I am really happy.
Thank you for everything.
May God bless you always.
