Need help configuring rtgui

[ghost...@gmail.com]

Hi Guys

I have recently upgraded my server and reinstalled rtorrent.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get rtgui working properly this time.

I keep getting a 500 internal error.

I am using an unmodified php.ini (originally named php.ini-production)
for php5


This is what rtorrent shows when it starts in console:
-----
(10:12:15) XMLRPC initialized with 897 functions.
(10:12:15) The SCGI socket is bound to a specific network device yet
may still pose a security risk, consider using 'scgi_local'.
----


Here are some relevant parts of info.php:

nb. the path to mod_scgi.so needed to be changed.


Otherwise it is almost a base OS.



Thanks for your time :)

what happens if you go to 127.0.0.1:80? Do you get the standard apache
"it's working!" message?

And - dumb question - you are going to 127.0.0.1:5000 for rtgui,
right?

Turns out I had to manually install the session support module this
time.

I am now getting the 'can't connect to rtorrent' error. Which should
be easy enough to figure out :D

For the records httpd-error.log now shows this:

[Sat Sep 10 01:37:01 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not
exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/RPC2


I am looking into it :)

Thanks Patrick

Yes 'It works' :p

Locally I use localhost/rtgui but I don't install X so I can only use
a commandline web browser. Remotely it has always been accessible at
host.domain.com/rtgui. Neither are working. I have just tried
127.0.0.1:500 just to check it says 'error reading socket', which is
something new :)

If you are talking about the scgi port it has not changed from
localhost:5000

I have copied my old config.php and .rtorrent.rc across and re-checked
all the paths. I have also tried the default configs to no avail :(

The last three posts have been approved in reverse chronological
order.

Also there is a double post which I cant figure out how to remove yet.

Hello again,

I am still getting this error in httpd-error.log



[Tue Sep 13 03:45:53 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not
exist: /usr/local/www/apache22/data/RPC2



Surely it has to be a simple oversight on my behalf, but what is it?




Here are the relevant sections of my configs:

[.rtorrent.rc]

port_range = 50003-51000
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
---------------------

[httpd-vhosts.conf]

NameVirtualHost *:80

LoadModule scgi_module /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_scgi.so
SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000

---------------------

[~/data/rtgui/config.php]

$rpc_connect="http://127.0.0.1/RPC2";
--------------------


Thanks again :)

Have you looked here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=19645

I'm not very familiar with BSD. Sorry. (BTW, why are you running BSD?)

Thanks!!! The link back to the FreeBSD forums worked a treat.

DutchDemon is a god among gods. He is one of the reasons I use BSD
lol Seriously, the support at FreeBSD.org is amazing. Sure you need
to be very pedantic and know a few things when you post but these are
practices that only benefit everyone. The fact that people like DD can
give very specific advice and know that your system will almost
certainly behave exactly as he expects is a major plus. It means that
I could jump onto any other well maintained BSD system and not have to
learn all the nuances of that particular system all over again.

FreeBSD also gives me exposure to an actual UNIX environment, rather
than a reverse engineered clone. Plus its development method means
that if I use 8.2 RELEASE for example, I can know that all the ports,
patches and other bug fixes marked 8.2 RELEASE are built and tested on
my exact system. No need to hack things together, leaving me time to
better use the system rather than putting out spot fires all day.


I could keep ranting, but my problem is fixed thanks to you and DD :)
