melvincv Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 OMG, I can't believe that there is no proper documentation to use utorrent server for Linux! A newbie like me using Ubuntu will have no idea to launch it. So, here goes: UT for dummies.1. Download utorrent to your home folder. Right click the downloaded file (Eg:utorrent-server-3.0-25053.tar.gz), click 'Extract here'2. You will get a folder called utorrent-server-v3_0 in the same folder as the downloaded file. Open the folder.3. Right click the file 'utserver' and make it executable by following this step .. right click on utserver > properties > permissions > add tick on Allow executing file as program > close it4. Run the file 'utserver' by double clicking it.5. Nothing happens. It's alright. utserver is running as a background program.6- open your browser like firefox , chrome , opera ... etc 7- type in URL : http://localhost:8080/gui/ 8- username: admin no password9. You got the utorrent web interface, right? Hope this guide was simple enough...P.S. Utorrent devs: Please integrate a simple doc of this sort that ppl can understand easily.For more tech news and tutorials, see:http://livetechbytes.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melvincv Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yes! In fact I mentioned a similar phrase on the top: So, here goes: UT for dummies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvincv Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I was using Transmission on ubuntu. It lacks a proper scheduler. Thanks to the guy who posted a similar guide, I'm using utorrent now. Definitely a plus for the utorrent community. So if it helps people switch over to utorrent, I strongly support integrating a simple doc for those who just want to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwordish Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 7- type in URL : http://localhost:8080/gui/ I followed steps 1-6 but when I try to visit http://localhost:8080/gui/ I just get a "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost:8080"-page. Any ideas? I'm using 11.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvincv Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 1. The utserver is not running - try double clicking it again2. The address may not be correct, copy it as it is into your address bar.Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvincv Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Also make sure that the utserver file has permissions to execute it. If it does not work, make the directory exectable with this command - if your install directory is utorrent, in the home directory, run:sudo chmod -R 755 utorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arubamalice Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 user1@ubuntu1:~/Programs/utorrent-server-v3_0$ ./utserver./utserver: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryuser1@ubuntu1:~/Programs/utorrent-server-v3_0$I had the same error, although I use CentOS instead of Ubuntu. I managed to fix it using the following commands.You need to make sure you have the openssl package installed first. Enter the following commandsudo apt-get install opensslIf you get an error that the package is already installed that is OK. Type the following commands:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8Then try running the command./utserveragain from the folder you unzipped to.Hope this helpsAyub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcDonald Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hey guys, the reason there is no user docs is because this is an Alpha release. It is intended to get some constructive feedback from people who already have an understanding of how to run it.If you can't work out how to run it, then don't worry. Try again when the beta release is out. That should have docs, plus a bunch of bugs fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
