torrentwatch-x configured and ready to use

[pepedog]

Speed is pretty good with this, cron part seems good too. Lots of java in it.

Javascript not java. If it had java I wouldn't bother.

Sorry to bother you again pepedog but I am just about to give up altogether with this crap,
did you manage to set it up properly, get it to load AND get it to pass torrents to transmission
from an RSS feed? I've managed to get it to run up to the point of adding a torrent, it doesn't
give me an error anymore, it seems to add a torrent, displays a progress bar but hangs there.
It doesn't pass the torrent to transmission and if I press refresh it forgets the whole thing...

Either it's my configuration or there's something wrong with the php code...

[pepedog]

As you say, it "seems" to function.
I couldn't get it to talk to transmission, so I thought I would at least get it to save the .torrent file, it didn't work. Folder permissions were good and php was good as torrentwatch could save it's config.
I might have one more go, but flexget is just messing with a config file and suits me.

[pepedog]

I got something to work
In /etc/php/php.ini look for open_basedir and take out /srv/http
The server can only write things that are owned by http, so that controls where config file can go, and torrent file saves (you can then get transmission to watch that directory)
The cron job then downloads the files, but you can manually do this
php-cgi -q /srv/http/tr/rss_dl.php
(where /srv/http/tr is where I installed torrentwatch)
Will look at transmission communication now.

It does connect to transmission, i can start and stop torrents already added, but i can't pass
new torrents to it from feeds... If I run php-cgi -q /srv/http/rss_dl.php , i have it in the root of the http folder,
i get errors like this one:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PHP Warning: curl_setopt_array(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /srv/http/php/tor_client.php on line 218')


I don't have safe mode on in php.ini
The downloader seem to choke on something about the torrent's hash, it doesn't process it correctly...

[pepedog]

In /etc/php/php.ini look for open_basedir and take out /srv/http out of that line.
Restart http after.
That error will go away.
If you can connect to transmission, perhaps you can look at the torrentwatch config file and post part about transmission here.

[ax0r7ag0z]

Have you added any torrents to your "favorites"? if you do and run rss_dl again you'll see things lighting up...
I can't remove /srv/http from my php.ini because then i get a:


$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PHP Warning: require_once(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/srv/http/php/rss_dl_utils.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/Downloads:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/etc/init_nmt) in /srv/http/rss_dl.php on line 13
PHP Warning: require_once(/srv/http/php/rss_dl_utils.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /srv/http/rss_dl.php on line 13
')

Here is my torrentwatch.config
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ';;

Comment out the open_basedir line and try again, after redrafting httpd
