Installing Transmission with Clutch WebUI

Libxml is required by PHP so is needed.

Find your latest version: http://ftp.gnome.org.

# cd /tmp/myfiles/
# wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libxml2/2.6/libxml2-2.6.27.tar.gz
# tar xfz libxml2-2.6.27.tar.gz
# cd libxml2-2.6.27
# ./configure
# make
# make install

PHP needs a copy of libxml2 in the /lib/ directory.

# cp /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2 /lib

Find your latest version: http://be2.php.net.

# cd /tmp/myfiles/
# wget http://uk.php.net/distributions/php-5.2.5.tar.gz
# tar xvfz php-5.2.5.tar.gz
# cd php-5.2.5
# ./configure —without-iconv —without-pear —enable-fastcgi —enable-discard-path —enable-force-cgi-redirect —without-mysql —enable-sockets
# make 
# make install

You can also do a make test to run an extensive test on PHP...

You need to edit lighttpd's config file as follows:

# cd /etc/lighttpd

Make a backup in case you mess up.

# cp lighttpd.conf lighttpd.conf.backup

Edit lighttpd.conf and replace this:

 “nasMaster.pl” => (( “socket” => “/tmp/lighttpd.fcgi.socket”, 
                      “check-local” => “disable”,
 ))
 )

with this:

 “nasMaster.pl” => (( “socket” => “/tmp/lighttpd.fcgi.socket”, 
                      “check-local” => “disable”,
 )),
 “.php” => ((  “bin-path” => “/usr/local/bin/php-cgi”, 
              “socket” => “/tmp/php.socket”,
 ))
 )

Change the line that reads:

index-file.names = ( "nasMaster.pl" )

with this:

index-file.names = ( "nasMaster.pl", "index.html", "index.php" )

After you make these changes, you need to restart lighttpd:

# /etc/init.d/lighttpd.sh restart

Now to test PHP with a simple webpage.

# cd /usr/www/lib
# mkdir test
# cd test
# vi index.php

Enter this line below into index.php.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Browse to http://<MyBook-IP>/test/index.php You should see all the information about the PHP installation.

Find your latest version: http://www.openssl.org.

# cd /tmp/myfiles/
# wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
# tar -xvf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
# cd openssl-0.9.8g/
# ./configure
# make
# make install

Find your latest version: http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org.

# cd /tmp/myfiles/
# wget http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.22.tar.gz
# tar -xvf pkg-config-0.22.tar.gz
# cd pkg-config-0.22/
# ./configure
# make
# make install

Find your latest version: http://download.m0k.org/transmission/

# wget http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-1.03.tar.bz2
# tar jxvf transmission-1.03.tar.bz2
# cd transmission-1.03

Now configure and install.

# ./configure --disable-gtk
# make
# make install

Download and install the Web Interface for Transmission.

# cd /usr/www/lib/
# wget http://clutchbt.com/Files/Clutch-0.4.tar.gz
# tar -xvf Clutch-0.4.tar.gz
# mv Clutch-0.4 Clutch
# chmod -R 777 Clutch/
# rm Clutch-0.4.tar.gz

This concludes the guide for installing Transmission with Clutch WebUI.

A: This is due to file/directory permissions. Make sure you chmod the following directorys:

# chmod -R 777 /tmp

and

# chmod -R 777 /usr/www/lib/Clutch/remote/data

If that still doesn't solve your problem, see here.

A: This is a broad problem so follow these steps carefully.

1. Run the Clutch diagnostic url here and see if it further indicates what the problem is.


2. Check question 1 in this FAQ and follow those directions. This may be a simple permission issue.


3. Make sure PHP was compiled with sockets enabled! Check this in section 1.4.


4. If that still doesn't solve your problem, see here.

A: Simply edit your /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf file and add the following:

auth.require               = ( "/auth" =>
                               (
                                  "method"  => "digest",
                                  "realm"   => "nas admin",
                                  "require" => "valid-user"
# bruce - removed user=
#                                  "require" => "user=admin"
                               ),
                               "/Clutch/" =>
                               (
                                  "method"  => "digest",
                                  "realm"   => "nas admin",
                                  "require" => "valid-user"
                               )

Make sure you restart Lighttpd before testing:

# /etc/init.d/lighttpd.sh restart

Now login with your admin username and password.

A: Open libtransmission/platform.c and modify the include order from this:

#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
