Nice contrib...  

[stephen noble]

Thanks

-2 has just been uploaded

smeserver-torrentflux and the three other web appliations
have had a PublicAccess db value added
so you can give them the same privileges as ibays

http://www.dungog.net/sme/webapp.php#settings

[william_syd]

From your instructions...

Code: [Select]

4. open port(s) to allow uploads, eg.
config set torrent service access public status enabled TCPPort 45160
config set torrent service access public status enabled TCPPort 45161
signal-event remoteaccess-update

Will that work for multiple ports as the db key for both is torrent ?

[stephen noble]

your right

from VIP-ire's post

You can enable some more ports if you want several downloads at the same time. For exemple, I enabled 5 ports:

config set torrent1 service access public status enabled TCPPort 49500
config set torrent2 service access public status enabled TCPPort 49501
config set torrent3 service access public status enabled TCPPort 49502
config set torrent4 service access public status enabled TCPPort 49503
config set torrent5 service access public status enabled TCPPort 49504

signal-event remote-access-update

[william_syd]

You have to watch the first one.

I have not installed your rpm but if you have a linked service SXXtorrent then none of those listed will match.

The first one in the list would sill have to be just 'torrent'.

[stephen noble]

There is no linked service, so it may not matter
but maybe this isn't needed at all

edit:
opening ports with DB values is not needed in this case
I removed the DB value and the torrents upload happily
(once you start them)

I have installed the torrentflux rpm and also the sme-torrentflux rpm.  I am a novice with Linux and my skills stretch to installing rpms provided by others.

After install I tried starting torrentflux - couldn't find any instructions on their website.

Eventually I tried http://sme/torrent and got this error:
"Database error: Table 'torrentflux.tf_settings' doesn't exist
Always check your database variables in the config.php file."

What do I do now??

Thanks Guys.

yum install smeserver-torrentflux

0. install torrentflux and smeserver-torrentflux

1. create database structure
/usr/bin/mysql torrentflux < /opt/torrentflux/sql/mysql_torrentflux.sql

2. add torrentflux mysql password
pico -w /opt/torrentflux/html/config.php
find mysql password with 'config show torentflux', [see extra settings below]

3. open YOURSERVER/torrent
login admin/admin, change admin pwd and review settings

4. open port(s) to allow uploads, eg.
config set torrent service access public status enabled TCPPort 45160
config set torrent service access public status enabled TCPPort 45161
signal-event remoteaccess-update

5. files are saved under /opt by default
you can change this to an ibay, with local network access (without password)[and maybe chmod 777]
or just cd to a directory, then make a symlink
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/dungog/files/junk/
ln -s /opt/torrentflux/html/downloads/

After that I still couldn't connect to the db.
Installed phpmyadmin
Found user torrentflux did not nave a password set. Gave him a password.
Went back and edited /opt/torrentflux/html/config.php and changed the password.

Tried again and I was in.

oh.. also had to do a

Code: [Select]

chown -R -v www:www /opt/torrentflux

i am not able to login with admin/admin?

Login to what?

The above does not sound like a torrentflux login failure.

[stephen noble]

the mysql password is set with smeserver-torrentflux
any permissions needing to be set are changed

if it doesn't please raise a bug


the first time you log into www/torrent you should change the admin password, the default is admin

if you changed the default security level to require a password
http://dungog.net/sme/webapp.php#settings
config setprop WEBAPP PublicAccess OPTION

you may need to login with a valid local user first

Just doing a install on a clean VM to confirm if it works out of the box and had a major crash and burn.

I must have some gremlins in there......

Always check your database variables in the config.php file.
