Setting up Clutch for transmission


    March 8th, 2008 | Tags: , ,

    Before you proceed, you should already have fonz’s fun_plug installed (version 0.3 or 0.4). If you have yet to setup transmission, check out setting up transmission 1.06. This section will guide you through the installation of lighttpd and php (with socket and json enabled.

    Download the necessary files to your Volume_1 of DNS-323.
    - php-5.2.5.tgz
    - lighttpd-1.4.17 from fonz
    - Clutch 0.4

    Setting up lighttpd 1.4.17

    / # cd /mnt/HD_a2
    /mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg.sh lighttpd-1.4.17.tgz
    Unpacking lighttpd-1.4.17.tgz …
    Installing files to /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d …
    Cleaning up
    /mnt/HD_a2 # mv /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/etc/lighttpd.conf-with-php-sample /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/etc/lighttpd.conf
    /mnt/HD_a2 # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start/lighttpd.sh
    /mnt/HD_a2 # mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages
    /mnt/HD_a2 # mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/www/logs

    Setting up php 5.2.5 (with socket and json)

    /mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg.sh php-5.2.5.tgz
    Unpacking php-5.2.5.tgz …
    Installing files to /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d …
    Cleaning up
    /mnt/HD_a2 #

    Setting up Clutch

    /mnt/HD_a2 # tar zxf Clutch-0.4.tar.gz -C /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages
    /mnt/HD_a2 # mv /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/Clutch-0.4 /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch
    /mnt/HD_a2 # chmod 0777 /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages
    /mnt/HD_a2 # chmod 0777 /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch
    /mnt/HD_a2 # echo $VOL1/.transmission/daemon/socket > /mnt/HD_a2/www/pages/clutch/remote/data/socket.txt

    Rebooting the DNS-323

    /mnt/HD_a2 # reboot

    Wait for a couple of moments for your DNS-323 to finish rebooting. Telnet to your DNS-323 after that and check if the required processes are running by issuing the command ps. You should see transmission-daemon, php-cgi and lighttpd in the process list.

    Surf on to http://<DNS-323’s IP>:8080/clutch/, you should see your clutch interface up and running.

    Do remember to change the download directory under the clutch’s option.

    1. Where do I get lighttpd.conf-with-php-sample file?

       
    2. hi anymous

      In the pack of MLdonkey, there is the lighttpd.conf-with-php-sample, also there is the start .sh file of lighttpd.

      big thanks….. Shadowandy

       
    3. After a while of running transmission both of the hdd-leds go red and I cannot get access via windows explorer. Clutch shows it’s downloading the torrents okay. Any ideas why this happens?

       
    4. hi Headman

      I dont now, but change the download to, in the preferences of Clutch. An example my is /mnt/HD_a2/Torrents.

       
    5. Thanks for the tip but it didn’t help in my case, I guess I’m back to using MLDonkey.

       
    6. hi~ If say I want to uninstall a program that I installed… say this clutch, how do I do so?? :S

       
    7. msbatman,

      You would need to manually remove the files found in the tgz package. You can find out the files to be removed by issuing the following command

      tar tzf transmissionbt.tgz

       
    8. Cool~
      “tar tzf transmissionbt.tgz” will…LIST out the files inside the tgz?

      From there I will remove one by one then?
      Correct me if im wrong

      Thanks

       
    9. msbatman,

      Yes. :)

       
    10. Hi shadowandy thx for guide, do you know anyway to password protect the clutch map? ive tried with auth.require but cant get it to work.

       
    11. dotcom,

      I am infact using htdigest to protect some directories on my lighttpd serving folder. Perhaps I will write out a guide later.

       
    12. thanks! it is working for me!

       
    13. I had the problem where I could not browse my files/folders from Windows Explorer after I left transmission to download mode. To fix this, I changed the download location to a location on your mounted disks in DNS323. By default, the program downloads to the RAM or flash disk I think, that’s why we were getting errors.

       
    14. Where are the settings for Transmission, beside those few you can access from Clutch?

       
    15. Hi - I’m trying to get this up and running but am struggling to find the “lighttpd.conf-with-php-sample” file.

      I’ve download MLDonkey and had a look in the downloaded file with WinRAR but can’t seem to find the file in there.

      Is there another way to get hold of it?

       
    16. after installing everything, the Clutch will not process any torrent. everything just show 0. any ideal what is wrong?

       
    17. richard,

      The file is found in lighttpd package and not MLDonkey. Hope it helps.

       
    18. rfary,

      Make sure your download location have been set to your disk.

       
    19. I am having a diffcult time finding these 2 files: “lighttpd.conf-with-php-sample” & “lighttpd.sh
      “, which I couldn’t find it in MLdonkey or lighttpd, do you mind sending me the files thru email?
      Many Thanks!

       
    20. jeremy,

      These 2 files are found in fonz’s fun_plug. Perhaps I will put them up later on.

       
    21. hi all,

      thanks for this guide!

      Have same question as Vedeja, where can we find other options? (like “stop seeding after…”)

      Thanks :)

       
    22. Managed to find the files, they are in fun_plug 0.3 only. Anyway I couldn’t access my files thru windows vista after installing clutch, is that normal?

       
    23. Make sure you have the following entry in the lighttpd.conf file:

      server.upload-dirs = ( “/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/tmp” )

      Make sure that the file exists and is writeable. This is required when attempting to upload larger .torrent files.

       
    24. Make sure you have the following entry in the lighttpd.conf file:

      server.upload-dirs = ( “/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/tmp” )

      Make sure that the directory exists and is writeable. This is required when attempting to upload larger .torrent files.

       
    25. anyone know how to auto set the permission so that the downloaded files can be transfer in windows without going into root to change the permission of the files everytime.

       
    26. just wanted to say thanks, after 3 tries Transmission finaly works for me, byebye mldonkey, hope you compile 1.10 too when its final

       
    27. rfary,

      Well, I am not pretty sure about that though. Perhaps you need to run transmission as a different users so it won’t write as root.

       
    28. mike,

      Glad that the guide has helped you in setting up your Transmission. Yeap. Will be compiling the latest version of Transmission soon.

       
    29. Thanks for such clear, dependable directions, Shadowandy. I have the same question as two others (Vedeja and Dalko911) ie, not sure how to access options for clutch. I will continue to look via google, but would appreciate any hints…

       
    30. Found it:
      http://recurser.com/trac/transmission/wiki/GettingStarted
      it’s at the bottom left of the clutch web page. I shouldn’t have posted the question.

       
    31. david,

      Thanks for sharing! Clutch needs some exploring and its interface is pretty neat so users shouldn’t have much problem exploring it.

       
    32. After installing lighttpd-1.4.17.tgz I can’t find the files (lighttpd.conf-with-php-sample) but found it in lighttpd-1.4.18.tgz. So, installed the 1.4.18. However after restart not ‘php-cgi’ process loaded, any problem witht the config? Anything I need to change in the config file, looks like some fast-cgi option are being disabled? Thanks
