rTorrent user can't access 'id' program. Some functionality will be unavailable.

[saroos1]

I know this is a pretty rotten issue, but so far I have tried just about every possible solution for it that you can find just by googling alone, and I still couldn't get rid of it.

I'm running rTorrent 0.9.2/0.13.2 + ruTorrent 3.4 + Apache 2 on Ubuntu 10.04 x64.

Any "out of the box" ideas?

Thanks in advance

My answer is probably not helpful but: the only time I get this error is if for some reason the file system has errors and automatically gets into read only mode...
Since this is not the case for you, then perhaps you could check for some permission problem?

Code:
chmod 1777 /tmpusually fixes it for me

If that doesn't work then look in the main /conf/config.php file (and any per-user files) and find
Code:
"id" => '', // Something like /usr/bin/id. If empty, will be found in PATH.
Fill this in with the path to your id program - You can find this by doing
Code:
which id
It will end up looking something like
Code:
"id" => '/usr/bin/id',
