FILE MANAGER: Failed to get directory contents : /

[bhavicp]

Hi,

After battling with this for weeks now, I can't find the issue which is causing FileManager to not work, but the same code on another server seems to work okay - The permissions etc are the same, but i have no idea what's different / where the issue lies.

Running; Debian 9 Nginx 1.13.9 PHP-FPM 7.0 rutorrent latest from git - 3.8 Error in ruTorrent: FILE MANAGER: Failed to get directory contents : / Then the FileManage tab is empty.

nginx.error.log 43774#0: *2622837 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: Declaration of rxmlrpcfix::run() should be compatible with rXMLRPCRequest::run($trusted = true) in /usr/share/rutorrent/plugins/filemanager/xmlfix.php on line 0

in rutorrent.log

To resume, good luck because as you can see this topic isn't close. But it might be wise to follow it.

That's right, for now the trouble still exist and I'm able to confirm it. I had notice this trouble a few months ago (December 2017) and no I didn't see the point to write a message (no I didn't forget the lack of support from the past).

But there is one difference because I have the php-v7.2 (instead of php-v7.0).

[nelu]

php compatibility issue. nginx logs tells the cause of the error

[WagnerGMD]

At least, it could be true when you had something in the logs (mine was empty).

That's all ? Sorry folks I was absent for several months ? Nevermind (forget it) finally we had one sign of life. Just wondering what about the futur ? Do you plan to provide any support ? You won't or you can't ? Did you think about or not yet ?

Because no we don't have one clue on this matter. Also apparently rutorrent work's fine and the answer sound (or give me this feeling) clear (no @Novik won't help (neither care about them) because each third-party rutorrent plugin are totally independent (then yes that's confirm it's a bad news : because you will have to wait and hope for a new one (maintener or maintainers ?). Otherwise you can try to rebuild it ? At least if you have the require knowledge)).

PS : How many people ? I imagine there is a lot of people looking to these answers. Because rutorrent (very often) come with the FileManager (thousand of topics over the internet)

@nelu I don't mind paying to have this fixed in the code - Are you able to help and give me a price for your time? You can email me bhavic [ at ] hides.me

@Micdu70 - This doesnt fix it for me, are you available for paid troubleshooting?

[Micdu70]

@samad909 Yes I'm available to help you. Contact me: Micdu70@gmx.fr

EDIT: Troubleshot! Was not easy to find it: How rTorrent is started can cause XMLRPC call issue --> in a startup script, use su - user screen/tmux/etc. command and avoid the use of sudo.

I just found a missing modification in my previous fix... don't know if it helps but it should. ^^ https://github.com/nelu/rutorrent-thirdparty-plugins/pull/38/files
