php.ini settings (needed for default gentoo install etc.)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hi.
i didn't see any other way to contact the author so he could put a little
notice in the install guide or such, so i post my shit here.

rtgui doesn't work very well if these parameters are not set (to on) in
php.ini (/etc/php/cgi-php5/php.ini):

allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = On

in gentoo, these are both set to "Off" and perhaps in other distributions
aswell.
maybe a little notice in the installation document, or maybe a function to
detect these settings and spit out an error message instead of just "can't
connect to rtorrent :(", which is kind of untrue.

Hi

I don't wish to get personal email for this project, which is why I haven't and 
won't
be including my details in any install guide, thanks.  I prefer to use either 
this
issue list for bugs, and the Google Group that has been set up for discussion.

The default PHP "allow_url_fopen" setting is "on", and "allow_url_include" will 
not
have any effect on rtGui, so I won't be making any changes to the code.  I have 
added
a comment on the Ubuntu_rtgui wiki page (which is the most complete how-to for 
rtGui)
with your observations.

I feel the message "Can't connect to rtorrent :(" that is 'spat out' is a valid 
and
true message to display when the rtGui software cannot make a connection to 
rtorrent
for whatever reason.
