Thread: Ubuntu 11.10 x86/x64 rtorrent/rutorrent setup

Thank you for a very nice tutorial. It was easy, even for a starter. But I have one problem I hope someone here can help me with. I have got rtorrent up and running in screen, I have even downloaded a couple of torrents, and everything is working nice. I have installed rutorrent, and I reach the webGUI when i go to localhost/rtorrent. But the problem is that it seems like the webGUI cant get contact with rtorrent.

In the middle of the screen it says: Torrent is not yet available, connection to rtorrent not established. And theese lines are in the logger:

WebUI started
JS error: [http://127.0.0.1/rtorrent/ : 1] Uncaught Syntax Error: Unexpected token <
Bas response from server: (200 [parserror, getuisettings]] <?php require_once('util.php'); $fname = getSettingsPath()."/uisettings.json"; $s = @file_get_contents($fname); if ($s==false) $s = '{}'; cachedEcho($s, "application/json", true); ?>


Hope anybody can help me with this one. For your information, I use the .rtorrent.rc-file that is posted on the tutorial (on the first page)

Thanks!

Make sure you have this:
AddType text/html .php

In your apache2 configuration

Thanks for quick reply, but this doesn't seem to solve the problem =/

First, make sure you have a working php environment.

add a file test.php in the rutorrent directory. Put this one line in the file:

Code:

<?php echo "hello"; ?>

goto http://<yourserver name>/rtorrent/test.php

You should see "hello". If instead your browser tries to download the file or shows you the content in it you do not have a working php environment.
