I am a fairly new user to linux, currently running FreeBSD.

I have rtorrent installed which runs properly; able to download. I have also have nginx installed which also works properly, with a directory setup for rutorrent.

When I go to the rutorrent GUI I receive the following: No connection to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file.

I've been trying to get this to work by trying different suggestions for a few days now, with no results other than the occasional different error from rutorrent. Any help would be appreciated, I can provide further documentation if needed. Thank you all very much.

And?

I apologize, I got what I copied mixed up from trying several solutions. Here is what happens when I set the scgi port to 5000 and 9000.
