Hi,

Firstly, many thanks for this script, it has appeared to install correctly and I can run it using VNC to my VPS. How can I connect from outside though? I have used 62._._.***/rtorrent (Purposely hidden) but get a page cannot be found? I have tried :5000 instead of /rtorrent also.

Many Thanks

you are chinese ?

The address is ***/rutorrent Not rtorrent.

mbc0 commented 8 years ago

My apologies! that was a typo! I am using 62._._.**/rutorrent but get

"This site can’t be reached 62._._.\ took too long to respond."

if I type the same address locally on the VPS via VNC I instantly the login box

is there no actual port number like on my rutorrent installation on my unRAID server?

Thanks for the replies.. (even the Chinese one? XD)

Nope.. Something is blocking your connection on port 80 to your server.

mbc0 commented 8 years ago

ok, thank you, being a vps I dont think I will be able to change that, is there a config file where I can change to a different port?

Thank you

Kerwood commented 8 years ago

It would be really weird if you dont have access to port 80. If you want to change the port, you need you change the port for your webservice, Apache.

I just tried this from my VPS, so it looks to be open?

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2016-06-14 09:08 BST Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1) Host is up (0.00022s latency).

Any idea?

Thanks for your help so far...

MBC0 you scanned on your local hosts for ports but try outside to scan your VPS.

so you can test what works! use nmap on your local machine and scan the vps and post results

Hi, I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean? I ran that command from the VPS Console that rutorrent is running on how would I scan my VPS from my local machine?

Thanks
