Can't access rtorrent: Bad response from server: (500 [error,getplugins]) Internal Server Error

[bernid]

Hi. I would like to try Rutorrent 3.8. (Rutorrent 3.7 works fine) I downloaded and unpacked 'Novik-ruTorrent-v3.8-96-gab3c335.tar.gz' but when I click Rutorrent page it open without torrents with message: 'Bad response from server: (500 [error,getplugins]) Internal Server Error' Apache logs shows me:

Rutorrent configuration file is as follows:

<VirtualHost *:5001>
        DocumentRoot /srv/web/rutorrent
        Include /etc/httpd/conf/conf.d/php*.conf

I am not experienced Linux user. I tried to find solution in the internet but without success. Please advice what to do. Thanks,

Hi, I downloaded the newest git version from 6th Oct and this 3.8 version works fine for me. However I receive warnings. See apache error logs:

How to fix this and get rid of this warnings? I have the same warnings in the 3.7 version.

How to fix this and get rid of this warnings?

Set variable date.timezone to the correct value, may be? http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php

Thank you. I uncommented and complete 'date.timezone = ' line in the php.ini file and warnings disappeared :-)
