Missing rtorrent.lock file ; rtorrent not running

[dorm]

Hi Team,

Having a issue with loading rutorrent. The rtorrent not able to connect as per attached pic.

The rtorrent.lock file is missing. Have tried systemctl commands to stop rtorrent, restart, reboot server. No joy with multiple attempts. giving up now, requesting advice what else to be done ?

Is it possible to reset settings ? the torrent files and data should not be disturbed.

Shows running but still no joy on rutorrent ; the rtorrent.lock is still missing.

Further, tried to run rtorrent with link to .rtorrent.rc file but had following error :

usr/bin/rtorrent -o import=/desktop1/.rtorrent.rc
rtorrent: Failed to parse command line option: Could not open option file: /desktop1/.rtorrent.rc

The .rtorrent.rc file exists with correct permissions.

Further, tried to run rtorrent command only ; the address could not be used , checked and found that port is not in use :

alias findport=‘sudo netstat -tulpn | egrep --color=auto’

UPDATE :

RTORRENT WORKING !!

Changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 in .rtorrent.rc file and rtorrent fired up.

Changes to .rtorrent.rc https://prntscr.com/ugdt9t

Unfortunately , the rutorrent still has no connection to rtorrent https://prntscr.com/ugdtdw

UPDATE : WORKING NOW ; had to change localhost to 127.0.0.1 in user/config.php under rutorrent. @JMSolo - Any idea what could be reason for using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
