Launch the binary directly, don't use the service script - it smothers the error messages.

i have another question, when setting up wtorrent i get error:

Error: cannot write to torrents folder, please check permissions.

i checked my user (mark) can read/write to the drive, what user does wtorrent run as?

Thanks Markp1989

As your web server's user. I don't see why you are opening another topic for your wtorrent installation, both topics will be so much intertwined you might as well keep it centralised in one topic - both for your own ease of use and for future reference by other users wanting to have a similar setup .

Add the web server to the group that owns those folders involved, and make sure it has write rights to the folder it needs to write to.
