Torrentflux Torrent Server

By: Dustin Macheske

Torrentflux-b4rt is great program to turn a old pc you have laying around into a file sharing server. Torrentflux-b4rt is like other torrent programs you may have used in the past, but this program is meant for linux and can be accessed using a ip address.

Since Torrentflux-b4rt runs as a web gui, the greatest thing about Torrentflux-b4rt is that it can be accessed from other computers on your lan and while you are on the road away from home. The following directions will show you how to install torrentflux on Ubuntu 9.04, but can be used for other linux distros with minor changes. The first thing that you are going to want to do is login under su.

su

After you log in under su, you now are going to have to install a basic lamp system on your linux server. A lamp system consists of apache and mysql, which will allow you to access your torrentflux-b4rt from a web browser.

apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql apache2 bzip2 libapache2-mod-php5

After you have installed the lamp system, we can begin to download and extract the torrentflux program.

cd /var/www

wget http://gunblade.fakap.net/doc/torrentflux-b4rt_1.0-beta2.tar.bz2

tar -xjvf torrentflux-b4rt_1.0-beta2.tar.bz2

This command will change the torrentflux-b4rt name into a more easier one to remember.

mv torrentflux-b4rt-b4rt_1.0-beta2 torrentflux-b4rt

We also need to install a few more programs.

apt-get install php5-cli php5-gd phpmyadmin zip unzip unrar libxml-dom-perl libxml-simple-perl libthreads-shared-perl libhtml-parser-perl transmission-cli libdigest-sha1-perl bittornado

After you have installed the above programs, point browser towards http://IP/torrentflux/html/setup.php to begin setting up torrentflux-b4rt.

Once you have selected MySQL for your database type, point another browser window towards http://IP/phpmyadmin and login under root using your mysql password you set earlier, so that you can create a new user for your torrentflux-b4rt account. After phpmyadmin opens up, you will need to click on priviledges, and then on add a new user.

All you have to do now fill in the boxes on the top of the screen and hit the select all button under global priviledges. Make sure you keep in mind the username and password, since this will be your login information for torrentflux-b4rt. After yoou have filled in the above forms, click on the go button. You have now created yourself a user name and password for your torrentflux-b4rt account.

Once you have created yourself a username, go back to the http://IP/torrentflux/html/setup.php page and fill in the information for your MySQL database. All you have to do to is fill in the forms, with the log in information you created on the http://IP/phpmyadmin page.

After you have created the new database, you now need to chmod a few files to 777. There are a few ways to set the priviledges on these files. One way is to use webmin, which is displayed below. Or you can also chmod the files under the command window.

chmod 777 /var/www/torrentflux-b4rt/html/inc/config/
chmod-777-torrentflux-b4rt

After you have completed the install you will notice there are a few programs that are not installed, but your torrentflux-b4rt torrent server will work perfectly fine without the other programs.

The last thing that you must do in order to access your torrentflux account is to remove /var/www/torrentflux/html/setup.php.

rm /var/www/torrentflux-b4rt/html/setup.php
