I am a technical student from China. My problems are as follows:I uploaded the files in simpletracker-master to the website root directory, imported db.mysql.sql according to the configuration process, and modified dbname, user, password and base_url corresponding to mysql in config. PHP

Did you configure your web server to use the serve directory as the website root? If not, that is probably the issue. You can try going to http://yourwebsite.com/serve/login.php, and if you see the login form, you probably did not configure the website root correctly.

Are you using Nginx or Apache as your web server? And are you hosting it on your own server, or on some online hosting platform?

It can be used normally, but the function is too simple. In actual use, there may be the following requirements:

  1. The list page displays Seeders and Leechers
  2. Can torrent be distributed by category
  3. A multifunctional editor that supports HTML My website is www.u7uu.com. I am not a developer, but a webmaster who knows a little front and rear knowledge. I hope to follow up this project for a long time

And it may require an administrator account to manage all members and torrent information

Another problem is that the announce private key is currently used, but there is no incentive policy and assessment for users to upload, which will lead to users only downloading but not uploading, which will greatly reduce the seed efficiency and increase the pressure of the initial uploader I think this web application is going in two directions

  1. Similar to PT website, the closed management system USES the announce private key to assess users' uploads and downloads.Similar programs are NexusPHP, FreeTSP
  2. Public torrent sites like rarbg and eztv allow any user to publish their torrent and upload it to the site using a public announcement.This kind of site is more like a resource community with a tracker

I'm sorry to disappoint, but my vision for simpletracker was precisely to be as simple as possible (hence the name), which is why it doesn't include these features. I simply needed a private tracker where me and my friends could exchange data, and in its current state it satisfies that requirement. You can think of it like a private version of direction 2 that you outline above.

Some of the features you mention might make sense to implement at some point, but I don't think features like user administration and incentive policies will ever have a place in simpletracker - there are plenty of other private tracker applications that implement those features and satisfy the requirements that seem to be looking for.

That being said, you are of course more than welcome to make a fork of the project and adjust simpletracker in any way you see fit.
