rTorrent user can't access external program

[koper89]

Hi, I have a problem with some plugins on rutorrent, I made a fresh install of xbian - distro for raspberry Pi, sucessfully installed rtorrent 0.9.3 and rutorrent with nginx/php5-fpm, but have some problems making this work:
*So i start rtorrent as user: xbian,
*php5-fpm and nginx as user: www-data
*rutorrent folder permissions: www-data:www-data ( i tried www-data:xbian, xbian:xbian, xbian:www-data) tired 755 775 777
*added xbian user to group www-data and www-data to group xbian
*i tried to setup php.ini in /etc/php5/fpm/php/ini - change ; open_basedir to open_basedir = /tmp/:/media/media/.system/ruTorrent:/usr/bin/
*i added env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/binin /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
*tried to start rtorrent as root
*tried to start nginx and php5-fpm as xbian
*tried in rutorrent config "php" => '/usr/bin/php',"curl" => '/usr/bin/curl', "gzip" => '', "id" => '/usr/bin/id', "stat" => '/usr/bin/stat',
*even added execute = {sh,-c,/usr/bin/php /media/media/.system/ruTorrent/php/initplugins.php xbian &} in rtorrent.rc
xbian@xbian /etc/php5/fpm $ whoami
xbian
xbian@xbian /etc/php5/fpm $ php -v

www-data got the same paths

But still can't get it working

Any help would be appreciated

rTorrent user can't access 'stat' program. Some functionality will be unavailable.

1. This is a point. Web-server hasn't access to stat, check this.
2. Try to use development version of ruTorrent.

root@xbian ~ # sudo -u www-data which curl
/usr/bin/curl
root@xbian ~ # sudo -u www-data which stat
/usr/bin/stat
root@xbian ~ # sudo -u www-data which php
/usr/bin/php
root@xbian ~ # sudo -u xbian which php
/usr/bin/php
root@xbian ~ # sudo -u xbian which stat
/usr/bin/stat
root@xbian ~ # sudo -u xbian which curl
/usr/bin/curl

So i can access to stat from both users

This is not a garantee.
http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir

[koper89]

As i wrote in first post tried with open_basedir as follows: open_basedir = /tmp/:/media/media/.system/ruTorrent:/usr/bin/
I tried with and without temp to make sure im fixing good file - without temp i had error with temp

[Novik]

Try to remove it at all.

[koper89]

i did now i have ;open_basedir still with this problem

nginx config
for rutorrent:

Why is your php-fpm.conf missing pm.start_servers and related settings? I thought those were necessary.

Edit: Nevermind. It appears your configs are bit different from other distributions. It is split up into two different files. Is there a reason for this?

[Novik]

Do you use development version of ruTorrent?

[koper89]

yep, brand new git clone (master origin)

[Novik]

Sorry, but in this case i can't help you (without SSH and ruTorrent access to your system).

[koper89]

I can provide you my ssh login/pass for root, just send me how i can provide you data - email/etc.
Write also if you prefer root access or xbian user.
Best regards

Write also if you prefer root access or xbian user.

I need

1. ruTorrent access
2. SHH access. User should have permissions read/write ruTorrent files, read web-server logs and make su to rtorrent (xbian on your case) user.

Remove flag 'noexec' from ruTorrent partition. Or move ruTorrent installation to the partition without such flag.

[koper89]

Really thank you! This helped!

Best regards
