Updated for rutorrent 3.1, also included a security fix for the /RPC2 mount.

Make sure that in apache2.conf, you edit in the following:

nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

SCGIMount /rutorrent/RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000
servername localhost

The key bit is the added /rutorrent/ to the SCGIMount line.

Also, edit config.php to reflect this change:

nano /var/www/rutorrent/conf/config.php

Inside the config file, change the line:

$XMLRPCMountPoint = "/RPC2";

to:

$XMLRPCMountPoint = "/rutorrent/RPC2";

Save the file and exit nano.

Got a new seedbox. This was very helpful

There are other threads where you can spam without lying about having a seedbox.

I keep getting the following error when i try to run the long apt-get install line.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libcurl4-openssl-dev: Depends: libldap2-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

And ofc same if just try to install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Then if i try to Install libldap2-dev with
apt-get install libldap2-dev
the following error comes

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libldap2-dev: Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.11-1) but 2.4.11-1+lenny1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

And libldap-2.4-2 is installed
because this is what it tells me when i run the install command for it.

KSL300-11:/home/seeder/rtorrent-0.8.6# apt-get install libldap-2.4-2

libldap-2.4-2 is already the newest version.

Any help would be appreciated
I'm running a newly installed Version of Debian 5 "lenny"

*Update* Found a solution.
According to http://markus.revti.com/2009/11/inst...-linux-centos/ you can install curl from the curl website
Include this somewhere before the rtorrent installations

cd /home/<your username>/
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz
tar -xzf curl-7.19.7.tar.gz
cd curl-7.19.7
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
rm curl-7.19.7.tar.gz

That solved my problem

Updated for 3.2, the initial package list was simplified and a few other misc fixes were made.

I've tested it in a VM on a brand new netinstall version of Debian, and it worked fine. If it worked on that, it should work for any of your systems. Enjoy.

btw.. the autodl-irssi script works properly only with ruTOrrent 3.2

Went through your guide on a new seedbox a few days ago, worked perfectly first time, absolutely no problems or thinking on my part! Fantastic guide, thanks so much & rutorrent has to be the best web client out there, much more feature rich & stable than wtorrent & utorrent webui

Btw I might only have 1 post here like that other n00b but I most definately have a 1GBIT OVH seedbox lol
