   Når jeg forsøger at køre scriptet “sudo ./Rtorrent-Auto-Install-4.0.0-Debian-Wheezy” melder den følgende fejl: Syntax error: newline unexpected.

   Hello Patrick,

   Thanks a lot for this auto-install script. I have a normal wordpress site on my server and I installed rutorrent using the auto installer you wrote. all went well I got this message :

   Your default Apache2 vhost file has been disabled and replaced with a new one.
   If you were using it, combine the default and rutorrent vhost file and enable it again.

   As well as download folder and rutorrent url. I tried accesing MYIP.com/rutorrent my wordpress said 404 not found, so I added a symbolic link to the var/www/html/rutorrent from my public html. now MYIP.com/rutorrent says Forbidden… No auth box comes. I would appreciate any help!

     Hi Deb..
     As long as you have wordpress in your document root you will not be able to access rutorrent on “http://URL/rutorrent”. Instead create a virtual host where it catches fx. “http://rutorrent.your-url.com” and points to “/var/www/html/rutorrent” as document root. And of course create the DNS record.

     Goolge how to do it. Other wise I’ve got a guide here in Danish :)

     Just keep in mind that the conf files has to end on “.conf” if you are running Debian 8.

     Woaw having a reply so fast from the Author :) what can be better? I translated your article with google translate and managed it in the end :) but also the subdomain should be added in bind :) now I have the following problem:

     Torrent list not yet available, connection to rTorrent not established says in GUI and the logs are huge paragraphs but here are the first few lines:
     [04.09.2016 15:34:29] WebUI started.
     [04.09.2016 15:34:29] Bad response from server: (200 [parsererror,getplugins]) <?php require_once( "util.php" ); require_once( "settings.php" ); function pluginsSort($a, $b) { $lvl1 = (float) $a["info"]["plugin.runlevel"];

     Yeah.. Rutorrent properly dont have a connection to rtorrent. You got to add this line to the virtual host file.
     SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000

     As you can see here.

   Hi Patrick?
   What is the valid system user? (Kerwood is not correct :( )

   • Reply Patrick Kerwood nov 20,2016 15:40

     Hi.. The system user is one that you create.. And is not root.

   Hi again,
   Everythings OK but There is an error message in the plugins.(erase data) error code: read/ write persmission but CHMOD is 775 :(

6. Reply Murat nov 21,2016 12:07

   Error code:
   erasedata: Plugin will not work. rTorrent user must have read/execute access to the file (/var/www/rutorrent/plugins/erasedata/cat.sh).

   • Reply Patrick Kerwood nov 21,2016 12:25

     Im not sure, but i think the maybe its the rtorrent user who should have read/execute access the file. Not the apache www user.

     What are the permissions on it now ?

7. Reply Murat nov 21,2016 12:41

   Thanks for reply.
   CHMOD 755 for /var/www/rutorrent
   CHMOD 777 for /home/murat/downloads

   Run this.
   sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/rutorrent && sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/rutorrent

    Thank you soo much. Fixed erasedata
    Just:
    mediainfo: Plugin will not work. rTorrent user can’t access external program (mediainfo).
    screenshots: Plugin will not work. rTorrent user can’t access external program (ffmpeg).

    • Reply Patrick Kerwood nov 21,2016 14:46

      Those are external programs you need to install.
      Unrar, mediainfo and ffmpeg. Google on how to install them.

    • Reply Murat nov 21,2016 14:49

      Yes, I’ve realized now.
      The files are not secure? with chmod 775?
      thank you..

    • Reply Patrick Kerwood nov 21,2016 17:02

      Yes they are.
