chown means "change owner" -R means affect all files recursively, username:username is for "user:group" permissions and the last "username" is a directory

so it might be easier to understand like this:


chown -R user:group directory/

This maybe a bit late since this tutorial came out but i am having some difficulties with this part. When adding new users for the config files to be copied over to the new user i created it comes up with file or directory does not exist but i copied the code below into putty every time i try different alternatives it throws back the same response.

Code:
sudo cp ~/.rtorrent.rc /home/<second_username>
sudo chown <second_username>:<second_username> /home/<second_username>
Please advice on where i am going wrong please asap as i need to get this box up and ready in a few days. A swift response would be very gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

I seem to be getting this after setting everything up. Any torrents I add do seem to be added to rTorrent and will appear in my /home/downloads/<foouser> directory they just don't in ruTorrent (which is where they're being added through).

Apache's error log shows
Quote
[Sun Jul 18 18:49:37 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.175] (EAI 5)No address associated with hostname: scgi: apr_sockaddr_info_get() error, referer: https://ganymede.local/rutorrent/
[Sun Jul 18 18:50:19 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.175] (EAI 5)No address associated with hostname: scgi: apr_sockaddr_info_get() error, referer: https://192.168.1.180/rutorrent/​

I tried the hostname and IP of the computer I'm testing on and both seem to get the same error

I had trouble setting everything up except when I had to add a line to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig to resolve some other error about a library.

Any ideas?


edit: Well, I tried it anyhow on my nettop and this time it worked without any errors.

thanks for the great tutorial


i have inherited a dedi from my cousin which went overseas and it is currently setup with an older version of rtorrent. Might wanna try to format the whole server and try to install using the guide

1 question though, how do i configure pureftpd to a normal ftp and NOT sftp or ftps?
the reason for this being bad experience dl speed over encrypted ftp using filezilla which is my current setup. When i was using a seedbox i used to max out my home line dl by using fdm to dl off ftp so i prefer that setup.

thanks in advance for the help

Thank for this great HowTo. Really ... thank.

Here are some suggestions to add to this guide
  • Install vnstat + vnstat PHP. (Traffic statistic)
  • Install munin. (server statistic)
  • Install fail2ban to monitor sshd and pure-ftpd. (Security)
  • Force HTTPS for all web services. (Security)
  • Use Linux quota on /home. (HowTo)
    Torrent just go in pause mode when quota is reaches.
  • Assign one IP by services on your box. Server, ftpd and p2p. (Admin mind =

    For p2p, see "ip=" and "bind=" variables in .rtorrent.rc.
  • Run ruTorrent plugins when rTorrent start (HowTo)
I search a way to limit / control upload bandwidth in p2p mode only.
This should be done in multi-user environment, for all.
I find tc command, tcss and tcng ...

Last i checked using quota with rtorrent caused serious issues.
(rtorrent locks up and shoots to 100% cpu)


to control bandwidth you might look at using FreeBSD instead, and then use pf/altq

I tested quota under Debian Lenny.
I will give another try.

Maybe if preload_type is used this cause a crash.
Mine was set to 0.

it doesn't crash, it simply locks up and shoots to 100% cpu.

There is a quota plugin which solves this problem but it costs money.
