====== Installing Torrentflux-b4rt on Ubuntu 9.04 ======

It does torrents and nzbs and more. 

===== Groundwork =====

Set up Ubuntu with a Apache and PHP5.

===== Pre-requisites =====

Install pre-requisites:

  $ sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite php5-cli uudeview bittornado

One minor tool that it wants, ''cksfv'', is missing in the 9.04 repository, but we can pull a working one from a different repository.  Go [[http://packages.ubunut.com/karmic/cksfv|here]] and grab the .deb for your architecture.  Install it:

  $ sudo dpkg --install cksfv_1.3.14-1_amd64.deb

If that doesn't work, either download the source and build it, or just ignore it...it's just an SFV checker.

===== Install it =====

Get the tarball from [[http://tf-b4rt.berlios.de/|here]].

Extract tarball:

  $ tar xjf torrentflux-b4rt_1.0-beta2.tar.bz2

Copy the "html" directory to the web root and chown it to the apache user:

  $ sudo cp -r torrentflux-b4rt_1.0-beta2/html /var/www/torrentflux
  $ sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/torrentflux

Go to http://yourserver/torrentflux and go through setup.  You can skip having to mess with database crap by choosing sqlite and sticking the file in ''inc/config'' (e.g. ''/var/www/torrentflux/inc/config/database.sqlite'').  When it asks about paths, note that most things listed as being in ''/usr/local/bin'' are really in ''/usr/bin''.

**When you click through to the login screen, the credentials you enter will become the super-user account!**

Configure Torrentflux-b4rt as desired and you're done.
