Rpc or scgi? what am I using? :P

[saroos1]

First of all, rutorrent works 100% adds/ deletes torrents and files, auto unpacks etc.

rtorrent/lib: 0.9.3/0.13.3
rutorrent/plugins: 0.3.5 svn $Rev: 2256

So my rtorrent.rc has:

Code:
encoding_list = UTF-8
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000
#system.umask.set = 0002
log.execute = /home/nihim/rtorrent.log
config.php:

Code:
$scgi_port = 5000;
$scgi_host = "127.0.0.1";

// For web->rtorrent link through unix domain socket
// (scgi_local in rtorrent conf file), change variables
// above to something like this:
//
// $scgi_port = 0;
// $scgi_host = "unix:///tmp/rpc.socket";
and on lighttpd.conf:

Code:
server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" )
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php5-cgi"
)
)
)

server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
scgi.server = (
# "/RPC2" =>
# ( "127.0.0.1" =>
# (
# "socket" => "/tmp/rpc.socket",
# "check-local" => "disable",
# "disable-time" => 0
# )
# )
)
y I know it's commented out, with or without that part commented it makes no difference to rutorrent. I saw it been done on a guide so I tried it.

if i disable the rpc plugin from inside rutorrent (httprpc is already disabled) 1-2 sec later i get hit with errors and it doesn't work. So even though rtorrent and rutorrent communicate with scgi_port:5000, rutorrent seems to need rpc plugin.

So what am I using? rpc plugin or scgi? both? or I haven't understood how it works?

If you use rpc or httprpc plugins then yes, it's must be commented. Otherwise 1) it must be uncommented 2) it must be configured properly.

Both. What do you want really?

Well make it run with (only >_> ) rpc, but this was the best i could do. Looked at a lot of guides but i never managed to make it work.

This can't be done. ruTorrent can link with rtorrent via scgi gateway only.

Ok so if i didn't want to use rpc plugin i would have to change on lighttp.conf and leave the rest as it is + disable the rpc plugin.
Code:
server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
scgi.server = (
"/RPC2" =>
( "127.0.0.1" =>
(
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => 5000,
"check-local" => "disable",
"disable-time" => 0, # don't disable if connection dies
)
)
)
right?
if i wanted to use the unix sockets to make it more secure: i would have to do these changes:
Code:
rtorrent.rc
scgi_local = /tmp/rpc.socket
schedule = chmod,0,0,"execute=chmod,777,/tmp/rpc.socket"

config.php
$scgi_port = 0;
$scgi_host = "unix:///tmp/rpc.socket";

lighttpd:

# i could remove this completely from the config right? no point of having just a part of it commented out

server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
scgi.server = (
"/RPC2" =>
( "127.0.0.1" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/rpc.socket",
"check-local" => "disable",
"disable-time" => 0
)
)
)Anything i am missing?
i think i tried to do it that way and i kept getting on rutorrent that it wouldn't connect to rtorrent (i checked /tmp/rpc.socket and it was 777). but i will try it once more on a vm.

Lastly at the moment i get on my lighttpd log:
Code:
2012-12-08 14:08:52: (mod_fastcgi.c.2701) FastCGI-stderr: PHP Warning: scandir(/var/www/rutorrent/share/users/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /var/www/rutorrent/plugins/logoff/init.php on line 7
PHP Warning: scandir(): (errno 2): No such file or directory in /var/www/rutorrent/plugins/logoff/init.php on line 7
I have moved share/* outside rutorrent and updated the path on $profilePath but logoff/init.php uses: $rootPath . "share/users/" as the path which ofc points to /var/www/rutorrent/share/users/ I modified the line to have the full path to where i got share/users/


Thx a lot for your patience with me!


EDIT:

so well i did it on a vm, and it worked... no idea what i did wrong before.
I read somewhere that it's good to have a line on rtorrent.rc before "scgi_local = /tmp/rpc.socket" that deletes the rpc.socket. is that true and if so what's that line?

Don't know. I doesn't use something like this in the my system. All works correctly without any additional commands.

well then i ll leave it as it is.

As for the logoff plugin i saw it's not developed by you should i post about it in it's thread even though last post was from december 2010 or leave it be?

Last thing so i don't make another thread: on options --> bitorrent: IP/Hostname to report to tracker: is 0.0.0.0 does that mean it's reporting that ip, or that it is reporting whatever the machines ip is the moment?

thx

On your wish.

Second case. If your system has 2 or more IP's you must specify one of it in the this variable.

Ok, thx a lot! I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
