Rtorrent issue on fresh install of QuickBox v2.4.8

Just installed on debian 8, went smooth. loaded up, went to rutorrent from dashboard, got the error:
“No connection to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file.”

Checked if it’s running: (YES)
