I have a rTorrent client on a VPS server and I want to set up a ruTorrent webui on another server (different machine, different IP). Please don't ask why. I've been struggling with it very long, with no effects at all. It works, when I run rTorrent on the same machine as ruTorrent is running on, so the software is installed correctly. It's matter of the configuration. Could you please show me how the lighttpd, rtorrent and rutorrent config files should look like? Let's say the IP of the VPS with rtorrent running is "1.1.1.1".

For server with ruTorrent
1) $scgi_host in the conf.php must point to the host with rtorrent
2) You can't use web-server's /RPC mount points. Plugin rpc (or httprpc) must be used instead.
3) Most of other plugins will'nt work.

For server with rtorrent
1) $scgi_port from the ruTorrent's conf.php must be opened in the firewall for the server with ruTorrent.

Is rss or autodl-irssi plugin going to work? If not, there is no point doing this for me.

In manual mode only. Autoloading will not work.

Don't know. I'm not an author of this plugin

You have to set it to FTP the torrent over or use a network share and set rTorrent to watch that folder.
