Torrentflux is a multi-user GUI for BitTornado. It is scripted in PHP, with a MySQL database and runs on a web server. The most recent beta release also includes support for ADOdb, allowing for use of other database backends. Numerous "hacks" have been written to add additional functionality.

Transmission is a free, lightweight BitTorrent client. It features a simple, intuitive interface (we won't be using here) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end.

Contents 1 Requirements 2 Installation 3 Populate the database 3.1 For Mysql Database 3.2 For SQLite Database 4 Apache 5 Lighttpd 6 Run it 6.1 Apache 6.2 Lighttpd 7 Configure it

Requirements

You will need to install either:

1. LAMP Steps 1-5
2. LLMP
3. LLSP

Installation

First get python and perl

apt-get install python perl

Goto webservers root directory (/var/www)

cd /var/www

Download torrentflux-b4rt into said directory

wget http://download.berlios.de/tf-b4rt/torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-98.tar.bz2

Untar the downloaded file and move into it

tar -jxvf torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-98.tar.bz2 && cd torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-98

Configure and make transmissioncli

cd clients/transmission 
tar -jxvf Transmission-0.7-svn1302_tfCLI-svn1995.tar.bz2
cd Transmission-0.7-svn1302_tfCLI-svn1995

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-gtk --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install

See if it's in the right place

updatedb
locate transmissioncli 

Should be in /mnt/hda/usr/bin/transmissioncli

Populate the database

For Mysql Database

cd ../../../sql/mysql

mysqladmin create torrentflux

(if you set a passwd for mysql root then use this and enter passwd at prompt)

mysqladmin -p create torrentflux 

and then

mysql torrentflux < mysql_torrentflux_tf-b4rt-98.sql

(if you set a passwd for mysql root then use this and enter passwd at prompt)

mysql -p torrentflux < mysql_torrentflux_tf-b4rt-98.sql

cd ../../html
mv config.db.php.dist config.db.php

(if you set a passwd for mysql root you need to edit)

pico config.db.php

add passwd

$cfg["db_pass"] = "<add passwd>";             // Password for Database

For SQLite Database

All this needs clarifying

cd ../../../sql/sqlite  

sqlite torrentflux

Ctrl + Z

sqlite torrentflux < sqlite_torrentflux_tf-b4rt-97.sql

Ctrl + Z

cd ../../html
mv config.db.php.dist config.db.php

pico config.db.php

alter database type

$cfg["db_type"] = "mysql";        // Database-Type : mysql/sqlite/postgres
$cfg["db_type"] = "sqlite";        // Database-Type : mysql/sqlite/postgres

Apache

Make it readable for apache user:group

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-97/html

Now you will need to create a file in apache to see torrentflux

pico /etc/apache/conf.d/torrentflux.conf 

and add this to that file

 # Torrentflux Virtual Host Configuration file
Listen 8090
<VirtualHost _default_:8090>
       DocumentRoot "/var/www/torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-97/html"
       <Directory "/var/www/torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-97/html">
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
               AllowOverride None
               Order allow,deny
               Allow from all
       </Directory>
       <IfModule mod_dir.c>
               DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
       </IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache restart

Lighttpd

Make it readable for apache user:group

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-98/html

Restart Lighttpd

/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Run it

Apache

Go to your Torrentflux on your Linkstation

http://<IPAdddress>:8090

Lighttpd

Go to your Torrentflux on your Linkstation

http://<IPAdddress>/torrentflux_2.1-b4rt-98/html

Configure it

You should see this

Enter user name and passwd - WARNING!! - That is for the superuser, so don't forget it

Check all the admin settings pages and configure your installation - i.e select transmissioncli as default client and point it in the right direction. You will need to correct everything highlighted red (apart from bittornado unless you are going to use it).
