/var/www/rutorrent/conf/config.php

what are the permissions of /home/user/downloads/

 

[jith45]

not sure how to check permissions but i ran this command thinking it would give full permissions
Code:
sudo chmod -R 777 /home/user/downloads

 

[das329717]

so the path is literally /home/user/downloads/ ?

 

[das329717]

i edited the above code but it is /home/user/downloads/ in /var/www/rutorrent/conf/config.php because it said absolute path with trail slash but in my rtorrrent.rc it is /home/user/downloads

yah, i am not sure what's wrong with your system. my guess would be it's something in the php.ini


I know when i build everything myself it works fine. I could probably write a guide for it but i don't have time right now.

ok thanks when you get time (no rush) let me know i done a fresh install again with ubuntu 9.10 32bit and same results its no big deal i can just manually type in the directory and all works well and the geoip just makes it look pretty anyway thanks wonslung
