Re: need abit of help with my torrent slave

Sounds like you still need to configure apache for php handeling smile

Have a look here and trace back what you have / have not done:

thanks, that got php working, now im stuck with the setup of torrentflux-b4rt , its telling me that the download directory im specifying doesnt exist, when it clearly does?


torrentflux-b4rt 1.0-beta2 - Setup
Configuration - Server Settings Validation

Error: path /media/torrents/ does not exist and cannot be created. Check that the path is writable by the webserver user.

Re: need abit of help with my torrent slave

Does your apache user (www-data?) have proper ownership of the /media/torrents/ directory?

Re: need abit of help with my torrent slave

Your torrent data path must also be within the apache directory structure.  So if the root of your apache server is /srv/http then it must be a sub-directory of this.  And along with what JT said, www-data should own the directory.  So for example:

$ mkdir /srv/http/torrents
$ chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/http/torrents

You could also try some symbolic link magic, but I could never get this to work properly

Re: need abit of help with my torrent slave

I don't think it's required to be a sub-directory in apache. My old torrent box had a similar setup with the torrent files located in my home directory.
During the torrentflux-b4rt installation, I remember just setting the download folder to any directory I wanted (with proper ownership).

Re: need abit of help with my torrent slave

You are right, but in Apache config you need to set an alias to the path you want to use, so something like

alias /torrents /some/path/to/torrent/data

this would set www.yoursite.com/torrents to actually read from /some/path/to/torrent/data

If that makes sense...
