Thread: [VPS] Need help on configuring some point of rutorrent.conf

Hi !

I would need some help on a little personnal issue ; I believe this is very simple, but im very newbie with managing my VPS, and I see lot of seedbox specialists around here so ...

So I've got on my vps rutorrent installed, coexisting with Sborg.

rutorrent path is /var/rutorrent/rutorrent
sborg path is /var/rutorrent/sborg

Basic authentication is setuped like this in rutorrent.conf :

Code:

ServerName localhost

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin admin@rutorrent
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/rutorrent

    <Directory />
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Directory>
    <Location />
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "My ruTorrent web site"
        AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/rutorrent_passwd"
        Require valid-user
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>
    <Location ~ "^/rutorrent/(conf|share)">
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Location>
    <Location ~ "/\\.svn">
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Location>
    <Location "/RPC00001">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "My ruTorrent web site"
        AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/rutorrent_passwd"
        Require user BloBBy
    </Location>
    <Location "/RPC00002">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "My ruTorrent web site"
        AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/rutorrent_passwd"
        Require user BloBBy
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/rutorrent.pem
    ServerAdmin admin@rutorrent
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/rutorrent

    <Directory />
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Directory>
    <Location />
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "My ruTorrent web site"
        AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/rutorrent_passwd"
        Require valid-user
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>
    <Location ~ "^/rutorrent/(conf|share)">
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Location>
    <Location ~ "/\\.svn">
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </Location>
    <Location "/RPC00001">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "My ruTorrent web site"
        AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/rutorrent_passwd"
        Require user BloBBy
    </Location>
    <Location "/RPC00002">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "My ruTorrent web site"
        AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/rutorrent_passwd"
        Require user BloBBy
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

#SCGIMount /RPC00002 127.0.0.1:99999

As you can notice, accessing all above /var/rutorrent needs authentication.

Here is the mission. I would like to remove the authentication only for this specific path : /var/rutorrent/sborg/files and all his subdirectorys.

I believe this must be obviously simple but i just cant figure it out :(

The one who tells me the solution will win a big hug :P

PS : plz forgive me if im in the wrong topic/place...

Try something like this:

Code:

<Location "/sborg/files">
   Allow from all
   satisfy any
</Location>

That is smart ...but still asks for auth :(

I dont understand why that seems perfect

Strange. I tried to reconstruct your problem with .htaccess and it works here.
Does

Code:

<Directory "/var/rutorrent/sborg/files">
  Allow from all
  satisfy any
</Directory>

yield the same result?

wait...shall i restart httpd maybe first? to make changes active ?

yes of course. you need to restart the webserver :)

You're the man daydada :)

Works like a charm (with your first lines). I always forget to do obvious things :)
That was kinda simple finally :D but seems I've got still a lot of things to learn...

Thanks so much !!!

**sending magic virtually hug as promised**

np. glad I could help.
