Disclaimer: I took a completely different approach with 0.8.8 than with 0.8.6. With this release you have to download the different DroboApps that are required (don’t worry, they are indicated in the link above) and install them before installing ruTorrent.
In fact, the rTorrent DroboApp itself is now just a package with the rTorrent binary and nothing else. This means that if you just want the command-line interface you don’t need to carry all the weight of the web interface with it.
This move will also make it easier to update the web UI, since it is updating at a faster pace than rTorrent.
Hello,ricardo.
Thank you for porting new rTorrent and ruTorrent to DroboFS.
I just install this apps at first time.
I installed each required files with restarting drobo several times.(lighttpd,php,screen,curl,rtorrent and rutorrent)
and I accessed to Drobo ‘http://mydroboip/rutorrent/’, WebUI showing up , but it says “Torrent list not available,connection to rtorrent not established.”, and I cannot add new torrent .
so I try to use rtorrent through sshd command line access, and it work well and can download some files ok.
How can I use WebUI ?
I didn’t change any configuration .
Apparently rtorrent is not running in the background. I wish I could help you more, but to fix this you need to get SSH access to check whether or not rtorrent is running or if the problem is elsewhere.
Yup, you are right. That is actually bad news, because this would be a simple problem to fix. If rtorrent is running and there is no connection then there is a whole lot of things it could be, but none that I haven’t preconfigured it for. In other words, I have no clue.
But let’s start with this. Does your /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/rtorrent/etc/rtorrent.rc contain anything about SCGI? If so, could you please post it?
I think I have an idea. Could you please post the content of /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/lighttpd/etc/conf-enable? I think you might have the old rtorrent.conf file disrupting the new rutorrent.conf file.
rutorrent.conf is the new one. There was no rtorrent.conf there at all or did you remove it? If you removed it, then you need to restart lighttpd like this:
Well, the only thing I can tell you is that I have saturated my connection way before the FS was maxed. But then again I have a crappy 5000/500 plan.
On the other hand, given that the FS has only 180MB of usable memory and a single 800 MHz ARMv5 core, I don’t think you could host that many downloads simultaneously. My guess is that it probably would be as good as a cheap seedbox.
Okey doke, I might give this a test later and try and max it out so I know the limits on my connection.
I do currently have a seedbox but can no longer afford the cost, so if this can match my needs or at least come close I can have the drobo on while my main computer is off.
Onto something else. Every time I want to get into rutorrent I have to start the service.sh manually, is there a way to auto start this (I’m guessing it should do it by default)
EDIT: Nevermind, I read what the other guy did. I had the same problem with .conf file
I thought I had solved it but I haven’t. I still have to start the service.sh file every time it boots to get it working. Any ideas why its not executing by itself?
Most likely a bug on the script. I’ll have to check again to see if I messed up somehow. In the meantime, are there any special messages when you start it?
[09.07.2011 21:11:25] WebUI started.
[09.07.2011 21:11:26] Bad link to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file.
Also there are two lots of rtorrent in my drobo admin configure, one is configurable, the other is unavailable.
Do you reckon it’s a conflict somewhere? I only have one version in my droboapps?
