Make sure that the fastcgi, and cgi conf files are moved from conf-available to conf-enabled. This had me stuck for a bit with 403 errors. Probably mostly due to my inexperience with the application.

@Tiago Fazendeiro

I had that same error, and solved it by removing /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-cgi.conf & /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-scgi.conf, as both are already in the main lighttpd.conf file

Also, I’m getting the cannot connect to rTorrent message, I’ve verified that rtorrent is listening, and when attempting to test the xmlrpc commands (eg xmlrpc localhost download_list), I get the following error (Error: HTTP request completed with HTTp error -404. Fatal Error: 404 Not Found (Not Found) (-504)) I’m using lighttpd listening on port 81

Without your lighttpd.conf file it is hard to help you. Maybe you forgot to close a { or (.

For people encountering the disk space issue, verify that the directory pointed to by DIR_DOWNLOAD in the wTorrent user.conf.php file actually exists.

If you were simply using all the directories specified in this guide, you would have to ‘mkdir /home/rt/doing’ as the rt user.

Hey it works great for the most part! The startup script seems to bug out on occasion though. Got any idea what it would do that?

It says : cannot find readable session directory ./.rtsession from config /home/rt/.rtorrent.rc. check permissions

However, the file is clearly there because it works fine sometimes.

Okay, well, I just went to the wtorrent source site and downloaded the install2.php. I ran it, but it screwed up my download directory setting; so I edited the user.conf.php and put the correct value in there.

I haven’t actually put any torrents in there yet, but it looks good so far…

I think I followed the instructions correctly, but I ended up with no install2.php file. I tried running the install.php instead, but got a message saing the site isn’t available.

Any idea what I missed?

[...] major pain in the ass. So if you plan to install wtorrent, the following pages will help you a lot: http://robert.penz.name/82/howto-install-rtorrent-and-wtorrent-within-an-ubuntu-hardy-ve/ – the included init script seems to have kind of a bug though, failed to detect the session path [...]
