Thread: [HOWTO] Deluge Daemon + WebUI Installation on Debian/Ubuntu Server

Big thank you scoobie for helping me solve my issues.

I would love to have some kind of rss feed for deluge, is it possible mate?

hello scoobie after installing deluge through your tutorial i can't seem to connect to the daemon in the deluge webui so i ran the command

$ deluged -d

and i get this error


[ERROR ] 22:38:43 main:221 dynamic module does not define init function (initlibtorrent)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initlibtorrent)

any suggestions

Scoobie, do I need to put that script in my $path?

Installed it and I am getting this error:

xx@xx:~$ deluged
-bash: deluged: command not found
xx@xx:~$ deluge-web
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/deluge-web", line 9, in <module>

entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__'])
ImportError: No module named ui.web
xx@xx:~$

Since I using Debian on my seedbox, I just issue these command:

Code:

apt-get install deluged deluge-web

I don't need to compile from the source code again. Then I login as the user I want, the run deluge daemon and web ui on screen. Voila. It's done, simple.

I will use this tutorial soon, i hope!

Just a head up. Debian's default deluge works on dersion 1.2.3 which is pretty outdated. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, they are. My point is for some newbie, there's an easy way to get working Deluge. If they have more experience, then go ahead to perform an update if needed. :)

Edit:
As addition, for whom like easy way and not have experience well, you can follow this simple tutorial.

Code:

I have tested, for Debian Squeeze x64, and I have Deluge 1.3.3 working well.
So, anyone can make their own choice. All risk take by yourself. I'm just share what I've done.
