SOLVED-Suddenly I can't add torrents (Error: Torrent wasn't passed to rTorrent.)

[jith45]

Hi all!

I have had ruTorrent 3.3/rtorrent 0.8.9/0.12.9 on FreeBSD 8.2 running fine for quite some time now, and suddenly today I couldn't add torrents, I just get the error "Error: torrent wasn't passed to rTorrent.". Happens on every single torrent I have tried, both from private and public trackers. I have checked the permissions on both the rutorrent-dir and the download-dir, seems to be fine and same settings as the last 2 years. Adding torrents manually from the RSS-feed to the same download-dir works perfectly. Adding torrents manuellt in rTorrent works perfectly.

No changes has been made on the server in the latest month (no updates of os or applications, or no changes in any config-files).

I'm running out of ideas, anyone have any suggestions what to try next? Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Beta

Edit: Also tried to restart rtorrent and apache, no success. Also the upload limit in php is set to 20M so that's not either the problem.

1) Check web-server errors log
2) Check file /tmp/errors.log
3) Check $topDirectory variable in config.php.

Usually get these, even before this error.

2) No entries in /tmp/errors.log since Dec.17.

3)
Code:
$topDirectory = '/storage1/'; // Upper available directory. Absolute path with trail slash.
Sames as always... Confused...

Remove this deprecated directive from php.ini.

Don't know - what this. ruTorrent doesn't use such function.

Add correct time zone setting to php.ini.

This means - you can't add torrent to something, exclude /storage1/ and it's subdirectories.

I have had these errors since I started with ruTorrent and never really cared, it worked any way. But any how I did as you said and I also performed and update of my applications on the server. The follow applications was updated:

And now it's working again! My guess is that it's any one of these updates that fixed it, or maybe just and reinstallation of any of these two that did the trick since I have run ruTorrent with those settings for like 2 years. Hopefully someone will have use of this if they have the same problem!

Thanks for the help jith45!
