OldPike Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm having no issues running utserver on Linux 10.10... as long as I use full paths in the utserver.conf file. My trouble appears when I try to use relative paths. Here's what I have tried:Here's my command line: ./utserver -settingspath settings/ -configfile ./utserver.confinstalled in:/apps/utorrent-server-v3_0utserver.conf file:dir_root: /apps/utorrent-server-v3_0/ut_webui_dir: ./webui/ # sub of utorrent-server-v3_0dir_active: ./active/ # sub of utorrent-server-v3_0dir_completed: ~/downloads/ dir_autoload: ~/Desktop/torrents/I've also tried a couple of different formats, like "webui", "webui/", to no avail. Oh, and I've cleared the settings files each time, just to make sure.Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdonald Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 utserver.conf file:dir_root: /apps/utorrent-server-v3_0/ut_webui_dir: ./webui/ # sub of utorrent-server-v3_0dir_active: ./active/ # sub of utorrent-server-v3_0dir_completed: ~/downloads/ dir_autoload: ~/Desktop/torrents/I'm not clear on the problem you are seeing. Are none of the above settings being used by uTorrent Server? Where do dir_active, dir_completed, dir_autoload, ut_webui_dir, and dir_root appear to be set if they are not set to where you are specifying?Have you tried removing the dir_root setting and running the program from /apps/utorrent-server-v3_0 with the command line you specified (except adjusting paths to settingspath and configfile as needed)?

OldPike Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi, McDonald. I've tried to run uTorrent "out of the box". It works, but it puts torrent files, downloads and temp files in the default directory. It's a mess. Actually, I've tried it so many different ways, that I can't give you an exact example.The exact problem is that when I use relative paths utserver doesn't seem to recognize them. Do you see anything I'm doing wrong with the relative paths? I can't figure why it works with full paths and not with relative paths. Is there a way to get utserver to output the settings that it is actually using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Sorry, MIT. I don't understand.Sorry,I too bad speak english.But I trying to say that i also tried these options some time ago with no success.Variable "$HOME",also not accepted. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdonald Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 i also tried these options some time ago with no success.Variable "$HOME",also not accepted. :/Thanks, mit - I missed that OldPike had tildes starting some of the paths in his configuration file - I just saw the starting dots in the first paths and thought the others also started with dots.Don't use tildes or other shell substitution characters or shell environment variable references in the paths in the configuration file; use the actual characters that are in the path and don't expect any substitutions to be made by uTorrent Server to the path values you specify in the config file.

OldPike Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hmm. Well, it's obviously supposed to work. At least it was intended to work because someone put usage of relative paths in the documentation.I could help troubleshoot the issue if there were some way to get utserver to output the settings that it's actually using.

OldPike Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Sorry, McDonald. Our posts must've crossed. I didn't see yours until after my last post.Thanks for pointing out about the tildes, etc. It would be good for that kind of info to be in the documentation.Thanks again!

mcdonald Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks for pointing out about the tildes, etc. It would be good for that kind of info to be in the documentation.I've added it to my to-do list. I've been pretty busy with other products lately, but a number of these fixes will also contribute to those products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhill Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Are you running the server directly or by init script? Starting it by init script could change the user and hence the meaning of ~. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
