Hello,

I'm trying to install rutorrent and it is returning the error that it cannot access the 'stat' program.

I can confirm that the program exists in /usr/bin/stat and the permissions are appropriate for any user to execute the program. I have tried putting this path in config.php even though that is the first place it tries; as expected it does not change the outcome.

Any ideas or suggestions? Can you help me debug (as I am not very knowledgeable or experienced)? I am also using Arch Linux and am able to provide any further information if required.

I would just like to add that I have tried adding the rss plugin and it comes up with a similar error except it involves curl instead of stat. I have looked up posts about this subject on these forums but most of the time users seem to not have curl (or stat) installed (which I definitely do)

I've noticed this error pop up on the very first "load" in a few situations. not quite sure why though.


It seems to have every time if you are using OpenVZ based vps's

Unfortunately, that is not the case. It also happens on every 'load', not just the first.

did you set the path to stat in your config.php?


does your /tmp directory have the proper permissions/settings and can your webserver and rtorrent both use it?

I have set the path in config.php for both stat and curl.

/tmp has 777 permissions. I assume that is all that is required. Webserver and rtorrent users both seem to be able to use it.

Novik can't say anything because he haven't info. For example, what about ruTorrent version?

rutorrent-svn 1469-1
I have also tried 1485 but that has the same issue.

I'm not sure what information you would require but am happy to provide any information.
