[jith45]

Hi All,

I want to change the default folders in my install. I used the following guide to install it all.

This is my Config of my rtorrent
Code:
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:23876
encoding_list = UTF-8
umask = 022
port_range = 23877-23877
port_random = no
check_hash = no
directory = /home/XUSER/downloads
session = /home/XUSER/rtorrent/session
encryption = allow_incoming, try_outgoing, enable_retry
schedule = watch_directory,1,1,"load_start=/home/XUSER/rtorrent/watch/*.torrent"
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,"stop_untied=/home/XUSER/rtorrent/watch/*.torren$
enable_trackers = yes
#min_peers = 40
#max_peers = 100
#min_peers_seed = 10
#max_peers_seed = 50
#max_uploads = 15
#download_rate = 0
#upload_rate = 0
use_udp_trackers = yes
dht = auto
dht_port = 6881
peer_exchange = yes
#hash_read_ahead = 10
#hash_interval = 100
#hash_max_tries = 10
execute = {sh,-c,/usr/bin/php /var/rutorrent/rutorrent/php/initplugins.php XUSER$
This is what i want:

This Issue is when i reboot my ubuntu (10.10) box and go to the webgui, rutorrent says that the config is wrong and can't start.

thanks in advance.

typically speaking you can set the directories to anything you like.

What is the EXACT error message you see?

are the new directories set up with the proper permissions?

Hi Mate, thanks for the quick reply.

yeah I believe to have fixed it by changing the permissions correctly.

one finally question: the Session= folder that I choose in my config file is that folder for storing the the torrent files that I'm currently Downloading? I thought it was for incomplete downloads and then it moves the completed downloads to the directory= folder.

If not thats OK i'll just change the names of the folders.

thanks.

The session directory is where rtorrent stores the *.torrent files (not the data)
