Installing RUTorrent on Centos 5.5

[Maverick]

I'm sorry, but the only installation guide I can find is

http://www.torrent-invites.com/tutorials/50489-rtorrent-rutorent-server-install-centos5.html

and right off the bat it says:

NOTE : This tutorial is going off the basis that u already have a created user with sudo and u are ready to get down to the rtorrent install. Lets go ahead and login as root through SSH using a terminal like Putty.

I have no idea how to create a "user with sudo" and when they get to parts like that in the actual installation guide I get completely lost.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good installation guide for Centos 5.5 that would basically just give me all the commands to type into the command-line (since I don't know anything about linux or even much about servers).

If nobody can point me towards one I'd be incredibly happy if someone would take the time to make one for me (and would certainly owe them a favor)!

Hope to hear back!

You already installed rtorrent?

[Biohost]

If you would like me to install it I just require debian 6.0 32/64 bit.

Also that guide really only works on specific copy's of cent OS

[Maverick]

That would be very kind, Biohost, but if possible it'd be nice to do it with the OS I already have on the server.

No, I haven't already installed rTorrent (seems I should know how to do it all even if I'm going to start).

Would still LOVE the help!

[Biohost]

Have you tried this method yet?...it works on some distro's but sometimes has problems with the useradd function,

I know some of our customers have used this,

The only way I managed to install it as a test was saying no to autoDL rssi and the IRC one as well. And if lighttpd/nginx do not work just stick with apache, even though I dislike it very much it might be all you can do.

[Maverick]

Biohost, that seems like exactly what I want. However, it says:

The ruTorrent www base path is where you installed ruTorrent.
What is the ruTorrent www base path, eg. /var/www/rutorrent:

Shouldn't it know where the path is? How the fuck am I supposed to know? Aahhhh.

Thanks Biohost for sticking it out and helping me!

Installing libTorrent, rTorrent and a rutorrent front-end on Linux Centos


step 1:
To install libTorrent and rTorrent first we install the compiler and dependencies required
yum install gcc gcc-c++ m4 make automake libtool pkgconfig perl openssl-devel ncurses-devel mod_ssl openssl-devel apache2 php php-cli screen subversion


step 2:
Download XMLRPC-C, curl, libsigc++, libtorrent and rtorrent
cd /tmp
svn checkout http://xmlrpc-c.svn.sourceforge.net/...mlrpc-c/stable xmlrpc-c
wget http://curl.hax******download/curl-7.19.7.tar.gz
wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sourc...+-2.2.4.tar.gz
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downlo...-0.12.6.tar.gz
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downlo...t-0.8.6.tar.gz


step 3:
Extract curl, libsigc++, libtorrent and rtorrent
tar -xvzf curl-7.19.7.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libsigc++-2.2.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libtorrent-0.12.6.tar.gz
tar -xvzf rtorrent-0.8.6.tar.gz


step 4:
Compile curl
cd curl-7.19.7
./configure
make
make install
cd ..


step 5:
Compile libsigc++
cd libsigc++-2.2.4
./configure
make
make install
cd..


step 6:
Compile libtorrent
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
cd libtorrent-0.12.6
rm -f scripts/{libtool,lt*}.m4
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
cd ..


step 7:
Compile XMLRPC-C
cd xmlrpc-c
./configure
make
make install
cd..
This installed xmlrpc-c-config to /usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config


step 8:
Compile rtorrent
cd rtorrent-0.8.6
rm -f scripts/{libtool,lt*}.m4
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-xmlrpc-c=/usr/local/bin/xmlrpc-c-config
make
make install
cd ~


step 9:
Download rtorrent sample configuration and rename it
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/export...oc/rtorrent.rc
mv rtorrent.rc .rtorrent.rc
You have to modify the content of .rtorrent.rc file to configure the settings of rTorrent as you needed and place the file into your user directory.

make sure to add the line
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:5000


step 10:
Get rutorrent
cd /var/www/
svn co http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rutorrent
needed plugin for connecting rutorrent to rtorrent
cd /var/www/rutorrent/plugins
svn co http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/rpc


step 11 :
Start rtorrent
screen rtorrent
we use screen because we have to keep rtorrent running after we close the terminal


Now you can open your new rutorrent seedbox just go to http://myserverip/rutorrent

[kale4me]

the easiest way to install rutorrent is this

wget --no-check-certificate -O autodl-setup http://sourceforge.net/projects/auto...setup/download

sudo sh autodl-setup
