Torrent box, Torrentwatch-x setup install help

Question

I'm trying to set up a ubuntu "torrent box" ,

1. samba file sharing

2. transmission remote

3. torrentwatchX - and this is where I am stuck,

-

what I have done so far is

sudo apt-get install php-services-json php5-curl php5-cgi
cd ~/Downloads
wget http:// torrentwatch-x.google.code.com...X-0.8.9.tar.gz -O torrentwatch-x.tar.gz
  (-space)
tar xzvf ./torrentwatch-x.tar.gz
sudo mv ./TorrentWatchX-0.8.9/ /var/www/torrentwatch-x/
sudo cp /var/www/torrentwatch-x/php/config.php.dist /var/www/torrentwatch-x/php/config.php
sudo mkdir /etc/torrentwatch

-

and this I believe installed torrentwatch? altso Installed Apache2 that I think is required to get this working

sudo apt-get install apache2 

edited httpd.conf with

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

and wrote /var/www/torrentwatch-x/web

saved

-

some searching later I:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/torrentwatch-x.conf

# Ensure Apache listens on port 9092
Listen 9092

# Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *:9092

<Directory "/var/www/torrentwatch-x">
AllowOverride None
AuthType Basic
AuthName "TorrentWatch-X"
AuthUserFile /etc/torrentwatch/passwords
Require user admin
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:9092>
ServerName hoth.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/torrentwatch-x
</VirtualHost>

Some more searching ended with altso:

sudo nano /etc/torrentwatch/torrentwatch.config

and entered:

[Settings]
Episode Only = 0
Combine Feeds = 1
Transmission Login =
Transmission Password =
Transmission Host = localhost
Transmission Port = 9091
Transmission URI = /transmission/rpc
Watch Dir =
Download Dir = /home/torrents/download
Cache Dir = /var/www/torrentwatch-x/rss_cache/
TVDB Dir = /var/www/torrentwatch-x/tvdb_cache/
Save Torrents =
Run Torrentwatch = True
Client = Transmission
Verify Episode = 1
Only Newer = 1
Download Proper =
Default Feed All =
Deep Directories = 0    
Require Episode Info = 1

Hope someone can explain what I'm doing wrong/ what more I need to do?

Answer 1

I cannot help you with torrentwatchX. However, I did notice this product is no longer supported/being developed due to time constraints of the developer...

Since I don't know what you're trying to accomplish I can only give a possible hint...have you looked at flexget? It doesn't have a GUI (afaik) but works very nice with Transmission, rss-feeds and webpages.

Lots of info can be found on the combination of flexget and Transmission.
