Problem using rtorrent + rutorrent for multiple user

[randac56]

Hi everyone,

I've just finished install my server with rtorrent + rutorrent, but I have actually a little problem with multiple user usage.

So, for now I have 2 users we will call USER1 and USER2.

Dirs for both users :
/home/USER1/rtorrent/
ls -a -l
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 21 12:46 download
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 14:19 .session
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 20 16:38 watch
and
/home/USER2/rtorrent/
ls -a -l
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 22 06:56 download
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 22 07:24 .session
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 09:29 watch

.rtorrent.rc file :
/home/USER1/
Code:
[...]

# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = /home/USER1/rtorrent/download

# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
# of seeder1rent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
# relative path?
session = /home/USER1/rtorrent/.session

# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/home/USER1/rtorrent/watch/*.torrent
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=

# Close torrents when diskspace is low. */
schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=100M

# Stop torrents when reaching upload ratio in percent,
# when also reaching total upload in bytes, or when

#schedule = ratio,60,60,stop_on_ratio=200,200M,2000


# When the torrent finishes, it executes "mv -n <base_path> ~/Download/"
# and then sets the destination directory to "~/Download/". (0.7.7+)

/home/USER2/

scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5001

Apache2 configuration :
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
At the end of the file
Code:
SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000
SCGIMount /RPC3 127.0.0.1:5001

The command give me this result :

Starting rtorrent: rtorrent.
root:/home/USER1/rtorrent# /etc/init.d/rtorrent2 start
Starting rtorrent: rtorrent.

But no rtorrent in the process list, but rtorrent command work good.

So in my Log of rutorrent for USER1 and https://torrent.domaine1.com
I have :
Quote

But for USER2 on https://domaine2.com
I have

which is normal because /etc/init.d/rtorrent2 doesn't want to execute neither /etc/init.d/rtorrent only rtorrent works

So, what am I doing wrong ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

First of all, you use one screen name for two different rtorrent instances.

 

[randac56]

Thank you Novik65, so if I want to launch multiple instance of rtorrent, I need to do something like that ?
Code:
screen -dm -S RTorrent1 rtorrent
screen -dm -S RTorrent2 rtorrent
No need to identify which user use which instance of rtorrent ?

 

[lisas4567]

Think the issue lies within your code

Quote

# name of screen session
srnname="rtorrent"​

 

[randac56]

I've modified for USER2
Code:
# name of screen session
srnname="rtorrent"
to

Code:
# name of screen session
srnname="rtorrent2"
but
Code:
/etc/init.d/rtorrent startand
Code:
/etc/init.d/rtorrent2 startdoesn't launch rtorrent instance.

There is something strange
If I go to /etc/init.d/
then I do a
Code:
sudo rtorrent start, I can see the rtorrent in my console, but I'm obliged to do a CTRL+Q to come back to console but
Code:
/etc/init.d/rtorrent startprint only a
Code:
Starting rtorrent: rtorrent.And for rtorrent2 in /etc/init.d
Code:
/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/rtorrent2 start
Starting rtorrent: rtorrent.

and
Code:
/etc/init.d# rtorrent2 start
bash: rtorrent2: command not found

Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4709 Apr 21 13:22 rtorrent
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4723 Apr 22 10:41 rtorrent2

A little weird this story ...

sudo rtorrent start​

You run rtorrent's binary from PATH. With a unnecessary parameter "start".

Quote:

/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/rtorrent2 start
Starting rtorrent: rtorrent.​

You run bash script from /etc/init.d

Quote :

/etc/init.d# rtorrent2 start​

You do something strange. If you want to launch bash script from the current directory, you must write ./rtorrent2 start.

As result. Sorry, but with such level of knowledge you can't make proper configuration by self. Try to hire someone.

Ok, I wasn't aware about that, but I've already tried ./rtorrent2 start, same result as /etc/init.d/rtorrent2 start ...

Yes, my knowledge about Linux are not huge, but you know, I tried to learn as much as I can in a very short of time, but it's the first time I met someone on the net which tell me : "Try to hire someone"...

I've finally understood that displaying result of "screen -ls" logged as root display empty list because /etc/init.d/rtorrent start and /etc/init.d/rtorrent2 start launch screen to the corresponding user (USER1 and USER2).

So I have (logged with USER1)
Code
/var/www$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
3617.rtorrent (23/04/13 04:17:33) (Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-USER1.

and for USER2 :
Code:
/var/www$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
3913.rtorrent (23/04/13 04:20:04) (Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-USER2.


For USER2 I have now,

I think my mistake must be about user permissions because configuration files seems to be well configured.

Hi,

Is it possible for you to give us; The tutorial that thought you how to install rutorrent?

It is because with the error you had given; It is most probably some application not install yet;

 

[randac56]

Here the link of the tutoriel I used : http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=442.0
But, I solved my problem by installing this on a new Debian installation : http://www.torrent-invites.com/seedbox-tutorials/207635-seedbox-scratch-script-multi-user-quota-sabnzbd-deluge-print.html
Everything works good now

Thank you
