[SOLVED] Wtorrent not communicating with rTorrent

Ive been trying to setup Wtorrent for some time now and i havent gotten it completely working. Apache, Lighttpd, and rTorrent have all been installed from pacman. Wtorrent is from SVN

Ive tried both apache and lighttpd, without success, i get everything working but wtorrent doesnt communicate to rtorrent when i run install.php. I get the error

Error: cannot connect to rtorrent, please check host, folder and port values (and user/password if you have auth set up).

All my ports are setup correctly and whatnot and i dont have auth setup. i dont understand what went wrong.

Ive followed the guide for wtorrent on the wiki, googled around. tried many configurations. I just reinstalled ArchLinux from ArchServer (still in beta, didnt work well for me) I used RuTorrent then but i didnt like it very much (no login prompt) Im using this on the internet not locally so i need a login prompt for everything i use.

Please tell me what logs/configs you need, ill try to give them to you.

.rtorrent.rc:

Sorry if this is in the wrong section or hard to read, im a bit tired right now.

Re: [SOLVED] Wtorrent not communicating with rTorrent

I personally found lighttpd way easier to set up than apache, and if your only purpose is having a front-end for rTorrent, then lighttpd is plenty.

Have you set up an SCGI socket? If that's a yes, have you checked your wTorrent/Apache logs? I use ruTorrent myself, and I think you can make your HTTP server request authentication, I don't think you need support in the front-end for that.

No, i had not but i just set it up and it still does not work and netstat -l puts out:

netstat -l:

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 *:sunrpc                *:*                     LISTEN

tcp        0      0 localhost.localdom:5000 *:*                     LISTEN

Is localhost.localdom the same as 127.0.0.1 or just plain localhost?

We don't close threads around here when problems are solved (or worked around) .

Here's how you can set up password authentication with lighty.
