QuickBox Support

Hello, i just installed quickbox yesterday and today i started having issues.
On the web console rtorrent wont start i did try restarting the service and rebooting the server but nothing.

Here are some of the errors i got

this is from systemctl status [email protected]

Any help would be appreciated :smiley:

Seems like there could be a possibility of a bad torrent.

Have you tried simply issuing the command rtorrent as your user? It rtorrent fails to start you will receive the error output same also if it starts but crashes shortly after. If it crashes after start, make note of the torrent hash and delete the corresponding torrent from .sessions

#3

I never tried it but it may work.

login as root and do these commands:

1- box remove rtorrent
2- box install rtorrent

#4

There is no install/uninstall script for rtorrent, so those commands will do nothing :slight_smile:

#5

Can’t blame I guy for trying. :wink:
I think such a command should exist.
