I've got UnRaid working on an old IBM NetVista machine I had lying around.  I have UnRaid 4.4.2 and BubbaRaid 0.01.17b on the memory card which I believe are the latest versions.  I have the array set up and can connect to the server.  However when I go to start the rtorrent server I get a popup window saying

 

Starting rTorrent daemon...

(this will take a few seconds) ....

 

rTorrent daemon did not restart,

and reported error:

 

The paths in .rtorrent.rc are correct and present ( I made them manually ) so what have I missed ?

Perhaps post the contents of the mentioned files so that we can take a look at them and make sure they look correct.

 

Can you start any of the other services (Slimserver, uNotify, NzbGet)?  if not then there might be a problem with the bubbaRAID install.  I think we have had a couple reports of peoples flash drives being the problem.  Either using another flash drive fixed it, or a complete format with the HP flash drive format tool and a reinstall of everything seemed to work.

I can start all the other services fine.  The .rc file is below.

have you actually created the folders you specified in the .rtorrent.rc file?

 

you have to create them exactly how the structure is laid out in that file or rtorrent won't know what to do.

 

you will have to create:

1.  The folder torrents at /mnt/disk1/

2.  The folder downloading at /mnt/disk1/torrents/

3.  The folder complete at /mnt/disk1/torrents/

4.  The folder auto at /mnt/disk1/torrents/

5.  The FILE rtorrent.session at /mnt/disk1/torrents/downloading/

 

You will have to create these as i do not think rtorrent itself does.

Yeah I manually created all the folders / files before.  I have double checked and they are all correct.  The rtorrent.session file is just a blank file.

how did you create those folders?  the rtorrent daemon might not have privileges to write to those folders and the file.  Do a chmod 777 on the /mnt/disk1/torrents folder and everything inside it to see if that helps.  Do some googling on chmod if you need the command to do it.

The files were created via TelNet.  They all have 777 permissions.

Ahh got it.  rtorrent.session is a directory, not a file.
