Hi all,
I have run into some issues getting rutorrent running on my router. I have a Netgear WNDR3700 with DD-WRT v24-sp2 build 20453 (latest build) with a 1TB HDD attached to the USB formatted in EXT3. I have managed to install optware using this guide and all is working in regards to Optware. I then set about following this guide to get rtorrent and rutorrent installed. Firstly I wasn't able to install or configure "adduser" so had to skip that step then I was having some trouble getting lighttpd configured, due to my inability to use the "service" command (to restart or stop the service) so I removed it and set about using the "user" space that DD-WRT allows for in its own web server, for this I simply copied the rutorrent files across post unrar to the required directory, so to access rutorrent I input "http://192.168.1.1/user/index.html" this is working and although I have not been able as yet to get the files to remain post a reboot I am working on that.
My issue is that rutorrent returns the errors
Code:
Bad response from server: (0 [error,getplugins])
Bad response from server: (0 [error,getuisettings])
I have checked that PHP5 is installed as I have searched and read that was a possible issue, I have also checked that rtorrent is running and it runs although returning this error
Code:
Scheduled command failed: ratio: Command "stop_on_ratio" does not exist.
I am not able to add torrents from Putty however I think this is more an issue of my lack of knowledge as opposed to rtorrent not responding. I have copied below my .rtorrent.rc which I am fairly sure isn't the issue but could be perhaps.
Code:

Given I can access rutorrent and rtorrent separately I am worried that the issue is due to the odd folder structure that I am using within DD-WRT, could this be the issue? I am also unsure of how to configure PHP5 and with the trouble I had trying to even get lighttpd working I am reluctant to go back to that. I have checked for error logs but I am really not sure where these are located, as I have several copies of all the standard linux directories spread over the router itself and the HDD attached.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this issue!
