Regarding this question answered => https://github.com/Kerwood/rtorrent.auto.install/issues/121

I installed rutorrent on my Ubuntu 14.04 with virtualmin installed. Now I have 2 issues so far. First, php doesnt work on /var/www/rutorrent. So I modified rutorrent.conf to enable php. Then now I got a new problem.

[17.10.2015 12:32:18] WebUI started.

/var/www/rutorrent already chowned recursively to www-data. I dont know what is the problem.

This is error apache2 error log

This is a apache config error. Do a check to enabled website, under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and look for rutorrent.conf and/or 000-default.conf file. A reboot of apache service is needed after changing the configurations.

For more info look here http://askubuntu.com/a/458645 and here http://stackoverflow.com/a/19357641

I already did anything that I know. I check owner of /var/www/rutorrent, it is www-data.

Then I edit rutorrent.conf to enable php.

Yep, I even restarted apache several times already. Still got 403 forbidden error in rutorrent log. I wonder why it cant read rutorrent/php/getsettings.php, it is already chowned to www-data.

Do a ls -hall at the rutorrent folder. This can help.

dausruddin commented 9 years ago

I used ls -lah before, to see the user and permission. I guess it just the same as ls -hall right?

Btw, I suspect the permission is the problem. Currently files and folder are chmodded to -rwxrwxr-x (775)

dausruddin commented 9 years ago

I chmodded 755 to folder and 644 to files, but still got Forbidden error

dausruddin commented 9 years ago

Im out of idea. If anyone know what permission I need to set, tell me and let me try.

miracle091 commented 9 years ago

Try to change permission of rutorrent folder to root or another user with root privileges.

dausruddin commented 9 years ago

Problem solved!!!! I was thinking it is all about chmod and chown, I wasnt thinking about permission in apache config. Below is my rutorrent.conf which solved my problem.
