nTorrent connect problem

[Patrick Cornelissen]

Hi!

I have compiled ntorrent &Co + xmlrpc and configured lighttpd to offer
the cgi service.
I have testes xmlrpc locally with the testtools provided by xmlrpc-c
and it works.
I get the list of services.
Rtorrent runs fine too. But when I try to use ntorrent .5beta on my
windows account next to the Linkstation I only get a message box with
the caption "Nachricht" (Message) and no text at all. Just a OK
button.

I even started it in the windows console, but no exceptions or
something like that are shown.

I can connect to the webserver from the windows machine too, a connect
on the cgi results in an empty page, so this shouldn't be the problem
either.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks!

Bye,
Patrick

look in the log file, im guessing you have a line saying "unsupported
xmlrpc dialect selected."

You're right, scgi. (I used the config provided in the howto)

Ahh there it is. Windows is good at hiding things...
You're right. It complains about the xmlrpc dialect.

Hmm, I thought that the latest stable from the homepage of xmlrpc-c
should be enough.
1.06.27 is the last stable. I've only read that it has to be >1 Is
this info outdated?

Thanks for the hints so far. :)

Please read http://code.google.com/p/ntorrent/wiki/QuickStart

it tells you of which xmlrpc-c version you need for it to be compatible
with nTorrent. The reason for this is because we need i8 integers, not
i4. So if i allowed earlier versions, ntorrent would report negative
numbers in the torrent table.

Ah ok. Sorry I must have missed the reference to 1.07

Keep up the good work :)
