I'm running Mac OS X (10.6.8) and have managed to get rTorrent (via MacPorts) and ruTorrent working (with Mac OS X's built-in Apache). But I'm having a problem getting _getdir to work. I've installed it and the browse button appears in the create plugin window, but when I click on the button I just get a blank box with nothing in it:



I did a quick search for this problem and the answer has usually been to check permissions. I think permissions are fine though; my top directory is set to my user directory /Users/Ali and the permissions for that directory give read & execute access to all. I've even tried chmod 777 to give read, write & execute permissions to all but I still have the same issue. Any other idea what the problem is?

I should mention I'm using the latest versions of rTorrent (0.8.9/0.12.9) and ruTorrent (3.3 downloaded via svn today).

Web-server can't read contents of the rtorrent's download directory. Say chmod a+rx for it.

Ah, I didn't realise it was the download directory that needed the right permissions. I fixed the permissions for it and _getdir works perfectly now. Thanks so much! cheesy.gif

I've been trying to get this fixed all day, I've set the correct permissions to the folder (chmod a+rx) but I still get a blank box.

My download dir is located on a raid-0 array, mount point is /media/HD1/Media. I have no clue if that makes any difference or not but when i apply the same permissions to a folder in my home dir and make it rtorrent's default download dir it works like a charm..

After a whole lot of tinkering I finally managed to get this working.

Setting the permissions for /media/HD1/Media wasn't enough, i had to chmod a+rx -R /media/HD1 in order for _getdir to read it.
