Sickchill: qnap rtorrent - Error: Unable to connect to rTorrent

[oodonnell]

Branch/Commit: Master
OS: Qnap QTS 4.3.3
What you did: changed torrent client to rtorrent
What happened: I have put in all my details and have been searching google for answers, trawling through forums and I even asked in rtorrent community forum but they didn't know as the client is working perfect except connecting to sickrage.

I have tried using multiple suggestions such as https://localhost/rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php I've went through sftp and found the action php, and to be fair it doesnt give the error right away but inevitably comes back as - "Error: Unable to connect to rTorrent", tried SSL enabled/disabled, basic/digest and none. tried restarting everything
What you expected: to be able to use my torrent client

I pasted a log below but i dont even know if i have the setup correct.. ive searched so much I am tired of searching how to fix this

RTorrent settings a not right, you have to get the rpc working first before setting it up inside SR.

Google is your friend.

I did google it lots in my defence, I would never just post stuff without researching it first. The RPC is working as otherwise the web UI wouldnt be functioning was my understanding after reading a good few help forums.

I use a qnap so don't have a rtorrent.rc file, I done a search using filezilla sftp for it in depth and came up with nothing, I think the config file is rtorrent.sh but there is a SCGI line in this.

I would love to get this working I just can't figure it out, for now I have switched back to blackhole and it puts it into rtorrent watch folder, which in essence is okay but since I also use couchpotato and these use seperate folders ideally I would like to be able to use the torrent client and not blackhole

@oodonnell
I don't have QNAP or use rTorrent.

I think maybe the port on QNAP isn't 5000.
Some people suggest trying these:

Don't use SSL for login. Regular username and password for webui.

• http://localhost:6009/
• scgi://localhost:6009/
• http://localhost:6009/rutorrent/plugins/httprpc/action.php

If you're using this package, it seems like everything is different:
https://forum.qnap.net.pl/download/rtorrent-x86_64.17/update?update=375

SCGI configuration note for 2nd apps like CouchPotato...:
SCGI port: 19000
Host: localhost
Path /RPC2
credentials: none/none

So, try:

• scgi://localhost:19000/
• scgi://localhost:19000/RPC2

Without credentials.

See if any of them work.

BTW, I read on some forum while searching

.rtorrent.rc is located under the home directory of the user that runs rtorrent.

fantastic

Yes I am using the qpkg from qnap.net.pl as that works on the new QTS firmware build for the Qnap NAS I have, and had also asked on their forums in regards to that and another thing, I trawled through config files (I will admit im not a coder, nor have i a great deal of experience) but after using

scgi://localhost:19000/

it is now

" Success: Connected and Authenticated "

Thank you for the help, had spent hours trying to fix that
