Starting Torrentflux

[dblkion]

Hey,

I have limited skills with linux, and today my server crashed. I needed to hard reboot it and I have no Idea how to start Torrentflux again, my Sysadmin is missing and I have no way to contact him ..

I have the root access and everything should be set and working, I just need to start it again but after a while reading guides, I can't find the part when they actually "start" the thing.

This is for ubuntu btw

I hope someone can help me on this !

Thanks alot

I'm not familiar with torrentflux, but googling around, it appears to that there is not a torrentflux service that you start - it's tied to your webserver.

Normally, the webserver is set to restart when you boot the machine. Do you know what server you're using? Apache? Lighthttpd?

To start a service, you can do

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

Replacing apache2 there with the appropriate service name.

And then for torrentflux, you should just be able to point your webbrowser to http://localhost/torrentflux. (Assuming you're on the server and the default port hasn't been changed. Replace localhost with the ip address of the server if you're not doing this from the server.)

Hi,

Tanks for your help.

I believe its Apache2, when i go on ht.tp://xxxxxx/torrentflux/index.php I get a "403 - Forbidden" error, and when I try your command it says that :

It may be that apache is already started, but you can check what's using the port with

netstat -lnp | grep '0.0.0.0:80'

For the 403 error, there are a few possible causes.
