automove not working for me

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but it seems to me that "automove"
isn't working.

Just to be sure i understand it correctly, isn't it suppoed to move the
torrent to the set directory as soon as it finished DOWNLOADING then seed
from that directory? My download directory is
/home/wonslung/rtorrent/download/ 
I've set automove to /home/wonslung/rtorrent/download/Complete

but nothing moves to that dir.

since i couldn't get this to work as i wanted i set an automove rule in my 
.rtorrent.rc

if anyone cares, this is what you need for 0.8.5

system.method.set_key =
event.download.finished,check_custom1,"branch=d.get_custom1=,d.set_custom2=$d.ge
t_custom1=,d.set_custom2=~/rtorrent/download/Complete"
system.method.set_key =
event.download.finished,move_complete,"d.set_directory=$d.get_custom2=
;execute=mv,-n,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom2="

by the way, that's 2 commands, it line wrapped

another note...on freebsd you need to use mv -n and on line it's mv -u

could this be why autotools doesn't work for me?

Automove plugin is much better then just a command :)
It doesn't use "mv". It is implemented via php script.

There can be some reasons why it doesn't work for you.
1. Check if your download directory of the torrent is a subdir of "directory=" 
param
in rtorrent.rc
2. Try to move "Complete" directory outside of "directory=" param
3. Check if rtorrent user have proper permissions.

If problem doesn't solved then 
turn on logging $autodebug_enabled = true in conf.php
and send log file to me.

my download directory is /home/wonslung/rtorrent/download/

the folder i want files moved to is /home/wonslung/rtorrent/download/Complete
so i need to move it OUTSIDE of the download dir?
i will try this.

Still not sure how to make this work.  I've opened a thread on the forums if 
someone
who understands this plugin can explain it.  I need it to work WITH the rss 
plugin.

This is the thread in the forums:

I'm STILL not able to get this plugins working.  This is the only thing in 
rutorrent
that i have left to do and it would mean a great deal for me.  I really need to 
get
auto-move working.  If someone knows how to do this properly please let me 
know, i've
tried setting this about 10 different ways and it is not working.

Sorry for my disappearance, I'm really out of free time.
Can you post all your settings?
1. "directory = " param from rtorrent.rc
2. your directory structure
Let's find 11-th way :)

P.S. can I have your full rtorrent.rc ?
[05.11.09 22:00:15] --- move.php begin ---
[05.11.09 22:00:15] Called without arguments (hash wanted)
This means, that move.php script is called in wrong way.
P.P.S.
Does autolabel function work for you?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i THINK autolabel is working....maybe i'm confused as to how it's supposed to 
work....

actually....maybe it isn't working....It's selected as "on" but i still see a 
LOT of
torrents without labels.....Do you have an email address? i'd rather send you 
the
files you need via email.

my email is wonslung@gmail.com

just to give some more info.

my os is FreeBSD 7.2 amd64

my webdir is /usr/local/www/rtorrent/

my rtorrent user is /usr/home/wonslung

my rtorrent download dir is /usr/home/wonslung/rtorrent/download/

I tried setting the automove dir INSIDE this dir as
/usr/home/wonslung/rtorrent/download/complete/

This failed, so per your suggestion (i think) i tried setting it OUTSIDE this 
dir as
/usr/home/wonslung/rtorrent/complete
and
/usr/home/wonslung/complete
and even
/complete

none of these worked as well...i'm guessing this may be due to auto-label not 
working
properly....is there a configuration i'm supposed to set up other than enabling 
it in
"settings?"

All i REALLY want is this:

95% of ALL my torrents are downloaded via RSS, i want them to be moved to a 
different
directory on completion and to be seeded from that new dir.

my reason is that, while it's nice to ahve all my torrents automated via rss, i 
still
must manually download them to my home NAS (i have a seedbox or 3)

If i could make them automove i could set up a cronjob to simply rsync the 
entire
contents of the /complete dir every so often.  Then i could use my own local 
scripts
to unrar and sort files.

to add it to the record....thanks to your help, we figured out one of the 
problems.

The default php.ini settings for freebsd have 
register_argc_argv = Off

this plugin needs 
register_argc_argv = On

this seems to at least get it to work SOMETIMES.

i don't know why it works sometimes, and why it doesn't others but when it 
DOESNT
work this is what pops up in the error.log

[05.12.09 20:31:30] rXMLRPCRequest() fail!

I'm not a php coder at all but i noticed looking at the code that autotools 
uses the
xmlrpc.php from the main rutorrent install...maybe someone who knows a lot more 
abotu
this can figure out why it works sometimes but not others.

heres some of the log file

ok, i finally figured out exactly why things weren't working correctly (thanks 
to
dmrom00)

the problem is first, like i said in the last post, is that you need to set 
register_argc_argv = On

but, my error was worse, i had set php as php-cgi in my config.php
setting it to php-cli (in freebsd this is /usr/local/bin/php )
didn't fix it right away, mainly because i didn't have a php-cli.ini file, but 
once i
set one up with the proper settings, this plugin sprang into life.

update:

actually, i'm getting the occasional error with auto-label.

auto-move SEEMS to be working every time though

heres what the error looks like in the log
[06.12.09 01:40:37]

i just had my first auto-move fail since i got it working.  Auto-label seems to 
fail
about 50% of the time and automove seems to only fail about 10% of the time.

Ideally, it would be nice to figure out why sometimes php5-xmlrpc works and 
other
times it seems not to but outside of this, would there be a way to make it 
retry in
the event of a failure? 

Even if this were a tunable option, perhaps set in config.php, this would be 
very nice.

I went ahead and marked this as done.

2 major things were the major cause of this problem, as i mentions before, 
php-cli
wasn't set up properly.  Also, per a suggestion by dmrom00 i switched my setup 
to use
an ip based socket (i was using unix sockets for rtorrent/rutorrent)

This seemns to have stopped all rXMLRPCRequest() fail  based errors.

I'm not sure if this is something that CAN be fixed by the rutorrent team or 
not, but
perhaps you guys can figure out why unix sockets do not work properly on FreeBSD

anyways, since this is an acceptable solution for me, i'm going to mark this 
error
report as "Done"

Thanks again dmrom00 and novik
