Hello

When I or the other user on the B3 login through the web interface and press the Downloads, we enter the Download section but this message appears:

Downloads
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to unix:///tmp/ftdaemon (connection refused)
Filename: ftd/ipc.php
Line Number: 33

What does this mean?
What can I do too correct this?

Best Regards
Jon

Hello

This is a problem that is easily solved:

1) In the webinterface goto the admin and stop the download service
2) use putty or asn other tool to go to shell
3) su (excito as password)
4) rm -r torrents
5) mkdir torrents

4 and 5 at all users that use the downloader.

6) In the webinterface start the download service again.

that sounds like a weird recipe. What does this effectively achieve apart from cleaning the torrents folder and possible altering it's permissions?

this was the tip excito gave me.

i know that when this error happens something is wrong with the files
in that folder.

Hello

Thanks for your help, Rene. I tried what you suggested and it worked. The error message is gone.

@ubi, it effectively cleans out all stored torrent files. The reason for the error is that the downloader barfs heavily on some torrents (Bug). Deleting all torrent files removes the culprits.

/Tor

so would "rm -rf /home/*/torrents/*" be better as it does not mess with the folder itself (and you're done in a single command)?

No unfortunately not. The downloader keeps some of the torrents, the ones added with an URL in the UI, as dot files I.e .torrentfile which won't be removed in this scenario.

/Tor

rm -ir $(for i in $(ls -dA /home/*/torrents); do find $i | egrep -v "$i$"; done)

howaboutthat?

Hmm, i don't think so. I have problems with the -a for ls when wildcarding.

Perhaps something like:

find /home/*/torrents -type f -exec rm -i {} \;

(Totally untested)

(Ubi, just noted that you are soon passing me as top no1 poster at this forum )

/Tor

there's a difference between -a and -A . The difference is whether or not to show the "." and ".."
TO be honest I never really mastered the --exec section of find. The escaping always gets me...

--edit-- some dumb remark removed --edit--

Hmm, are you sure it really deletes the folder?

1. find only returns files found nothing else (the type f option)
2. rm is not issued with the -r thus not removing any folders.

But as said previously, i havn't actually tested it, thus no guarantees

Hello All,

Nice discussion about scripts. It happend to me on the B2 once or twice a year.
On the B3 it has never happend to me.
So i'll keep it to the manual removal as i am the only downloader here
