Error: Connecting to peers

Solution:

Error: Problem connecting with tracker – (10054,’Connection reset by peer’)

Solution: 

The connection has been shut down by the remote computer. It cannot be resolved.

Error: PHP module PCRE is not installed. ruTorrent will not work.

A PHP module is missing, Please raise a ticket and mention the error.

Error: Rejected by tracker – Port XXXX is blacklisted

Solution: 

One of the default ports is being used to establish the connection. The tracker won’t allow such a connection with a client as these are the common ports that are throttled by the ISP. You should contact the tracker and request the ports that are ideal.

Error: Web server can’t access rTorrent’s session directory for reading. ruTorrent will not work.

Error: *rTorrent is compiled with incorrect version of xmlrpc-c library, without i8 support. Version must be >= 1.11. Some functionality will be unavailable.

Solution: 

Old forms of xmlrpc-c don’t uphold long integers. So numbers more noteworthy than 2G will be appeared as negative. Furthermore, the exchange window @[email protected] won’t work as expected. Note – it isn’t sufficient to have quite recently the library xmlrpc-c variant >=1.11 in the framework. It is important to have rTorrent assembled with it.

Error: plugin: rTorrent’s user can’t access PHP interpreter. Plug-in will not work.

Solution: 

This error is identified with PHP running on the framework. Note – if PHP is working in the framework, it doesn’t generally imply that the interpreter exists in the framework as well. The bundle php-cli is important. Web-worker may utilize e. g. php-fcgi which doesn’t contain an interpreter. Again in the event that you are inexperienced with this, if it’s not too much trouble, contact us by opening a help ticket so we settle this for you.
