Hi,

I have successfully setup rtorrent & rutorrent on a Synology DS209. Everything works as expected except for one problem, and that is when the server reboot, rutorrent cannot be accessed using http://diskstation:8081/rutorrent. lighttpd is running and can be accessed using http://diskstation:8081, but not rutorrent. The only fix I have found is to restart lighttpd. This is still a problem though with reboots, as I have it setup to power down during certain times of the day. Has anyone ran into this issue before or know the possible cause?

thx

sounds like a problem with your particular platform.

without a lot more information it's going to be hard to figure out...

Hi,

Do you know how I can get some logging information perhaps? I think lighttpd is fine, but for whatever reason rutorrent does not init properly. Maybe it's a boot up order of processes?

thx

no, that just doesn't make sense.

rutorrent is nothing but a web based front end for rtorrent. if your webserver works, and is set up, it will always "init"

I think I may have figured out the reason for this problem. The server by default has lighttpd installed. When I setup rutorrent I installed another lighttpd package, so now there are 2 versions of the web server installed. I think on startup, the second version may not be getting started because technically it may see it as already running. I do not want to modify the original version to incorporate rutorrent because of fear of breaking the installed software, so how could I possibly work/around this or troubleshoot to verify this is indeed the problem?

thanks
