Ubuntu Seedbox with rtorrent | rutorrent | pureftpd | multi-user (optional)

Fantastic. Thanks.
I figured that it had to have the ./ before the command, but I'm getting this error when I do run it. I thought perhaps running as Sudo might work, but that resulted in the same error:

libxml2 is installed. I thought perhaps it had something to do with "--enable-libxml2_backend". Maybe a space between the enable and the -libxml2, but my hunches aren't playing true.
{EDIT} Nevermind. I just carried on with the rest of the process and it's all good now.
This is great.
Has anyone got the following error when loading rutorrent in the webpage?
No link to rtorrent. Control if rtorrent works. Check scgi_port $ and $ scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rtorrent's config file.
Mine dedicated server information;
Dual Core 2x 3.0 GHz
2 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
100mbit up/down
Ubuntu 10.04
Hosted by OVH in France
What do i have to fill at #scgi_port and #scgi_host i got the following;
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 5000
This came with the rutorrent config.

First I have to say thanks for a great guide, everything has worked pretty perfectly so far. I've installed in Ubuntu Server 12.04 x64 without any major issues.
I do have one question, it looks like ruTorrent's diskinfo plugin shows 9.7 GB of total space, when the drive has about 870 GB of free space. I'm wondering what I've missed to make this happen.
EDIT: Turns out that after downloading a little over 2 GB with ruTorrent, the space meter hasn't moved. So it doesn't appear to be limiting anything, it just isn't displaying correctly. 8.0 GB free of 9.7 GB showing 17% used, but not moving when space is filled.
Thanks for any help,
JJ

yeh mate take a look at this u will see why...

it could be different depending on your partitions and download directories
I noticed that /dev/sda1 was 10GB, which is what the meter was reading, and realized that the plugin was looking at the wrong partition for this information. This happens when your rutorrent directory is in a different partition that your downloads directory, in this case /home/<user>/rtorrent/downloads.
To solve this issue, we need to edit our ruTorrent config.php file, which in most cases can be found at /var/www/rutorrent/conf/config.php
You will see a line that says:
$topDirectory = '/';
This is the partition that it is reading the diskspace from. (sda1)
We need to edit that line to read your sda2 partition (it could be different depending on your partitions and download directories):
$topDirectory = '/home/';
Save the file, and upload it via ftp.

Thank you so much for the help and the PMs, you were dead on. It worked perfectly to make this change!

First of all. A big thanks to subvertbeats for creating this guide. I am fairly new to linux so please bear with me. I am running Ubuntu 10.4 and have been able to complete the first section of the guide. I am having trouble with the "Building rtorrent from source" section.
I am to these steps
cd ../libtorrent-0.13.3
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
However the "make -j2" command does not work
I get the error "No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."
I tried skipping to the next section but get the same error for rtorrent. Please help!

I followed this guide, but lately I've noticed I'm getting "couldn't resolve hostname" for the trackers and I've checked and changed DNS servers. I've also noticed that ruTorrent will report time out requests from rTorrrent.
To fix it, I have to restart rTorrent and ru.
I read somewhere about compiling with curl and c-ares, but in the guide, I don't see a mention of that.
This problem happens after ___ amount of hours and is hard to reproduce.
