SSH & ruTorrent Permission(s) Error

Hello,

I was trying to fix permissions for PLEX and might have messed something up and now my QuickBox UI doesn’t have ruTorrent as an option on the left pane even though its enabled and apparently running. In addition, I can’t access my SSH anymore as it says:

.bash_profile: Permission denied
-bash-4.3$

Thank you for helping me out.

Are you attempting to connect via port 4747 and still you receive the error?

Also, what types of permission changes were you attempting?
There is this FAQ you can refer to if permissions are a problem for Plex:
https://quickbox.io/ufaqs/plex-cannot-readwrite-my-media-directory/

The PLEX guide is precisely what I used but I must have put something wrong and messed up the permission(s). I am connecting with 4747 as port for SSH and it connects but I have the permission error which is not allowing me to connect to ruTorrent at all.

From what I’m understanding is the permissions are now messed up for my username which is why I can’t SSH or QuickBox but can connect to FTP properly. Is there a way to check/switch/fix permissions for my QuickBox install?

Thanks

I have managed to get my SSH working properly. My QuickBox UI still won’t display ruTorrent link and when I visit it manually I can see my torrents but I get this error:

rutracker_check: Plugin will not work. Webserver user must have execute access to the rtorrent session directory

I can’t specify a create or add torrent directory because it isn’t fetching any. Any ideas?

It’s all permissions based. What does la -l /srv/rutorrent/plugins output. This could be an issue with permissions on the create .sh scripts as well. So for that, what is the output of la -l /srv/rutorrent/plugins/create. They should be as follows:

###/srv/rutorrent/plugins

# la -l /srv/rutorrent/plugins
