Thread: problem with rutorrent filemanger plugin

hello

i installed rutorrent filemanager plugin it working fine but have once problem when i try to create rar or zip archive it give me error

File archiving started
FATAL ERROR: Destination not permitted

although i set permission to 7777 but no success

any idea how to solve the problem

I don't know this plugin so I'm running blind here.

Nevertheless, the error message indicates that the directory the plugin is trying to write to does not have appropriate permissions for the web-server user. Try to find out what directory it is trying to write to. It's obviously different from the one you changed.

Without looking at the configuration, conf.php and other settings I'm afraid I can only start guessing.

i think you should download and use "netdrive" have more control over your seedbox HDD.

Sometimes just the folder having 777 access it not enough. You need to make sure the parent directory can be accessed by the webserver too.

i set entire directory permission at 777

also i set 777 permission to filemanger plugin tmp folder

but still getting same error :(

Try enabling debug mode in ruTorrent and see what the log says.

how to enable debug mode in rutorrent i checked rutorrent settings but no option there for debug mode

I think another one you should see is the owner of the folder you intend. Are you act as root? Or as regular user?
You need to chmod and chown the target folder with your user privileges. If not, you won't able to use that folder without proper privileges.

I think your problem is with $topDirectory not being set in ruTorrent config.

If your home folder is /home/joe than it should be set to
$topDirectory = '/home/joe/';

edit either one of those 2 files and add/replace $topDirectory

rutorrent/conf/users/joe/config.php
or
rutorrent/conf/config.php
