Torrentflux-b4rt allows you to control your internet downloads / transfers from anywhere using a highly configurable web based front end.
Torrentflux-b4rt was originally based on the TorrentFlux BitTorrent controller written by Qrome, although has recently undergone a major rewrite to allow transparent integration with a number of transfer clients and protocols.

Manual Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1. Unrar the package into a directory then copy the contents of the "html" folder into your web site directory.

2. Create a database and import the sql-script. You may specify the type of the database you want to use in the file "config.db.php", but the examples here use MySQL. mysqladmin create torrentflux "mysql_torrentflux-b4rt-1.0.sql" contains the commands to build the table structure and the default data.

Import the script into your torrentflux database. mysql torrentflux < mysql_torrentflux-b4rt-1.0.sql Or load the script with PHPMyAdmin (web interface)

3. rename the file "config.db.php.dist" in the dir "inc/config/" to "config.db.php" and set the database-settings to use your torrentflux-database.
You may specify type of database you want to use, but the examples here use MySQL.

4. ensure the files + dirs in the docroot are readable by your webserver-user. if it is not the case one possible solution is to "chown" the files to your webserver-user.

this may be done with a line like that : chown -R username /path/to/torrentflux-docroot change dir + username to fit your system so a possible line would be:
chown -R www-data /var/www

5. Remove or rename the file /path/to/torrentflux-docroot/setup.php. This is a security precaution to ensure a malicious user does not attempt to overwrite your torrentflux-b4rt installation. Your installation will not run with setup.php in the document root folder.

6. IMPORTANT: The first time you access the application, you will be prompted for a user/password -- this is when you will set the SUPER ADMIN user and password by what you enter. For example, you pull the site up for the first time, you will be prompted to login and if you put in user: 'goombah' and password: 'iama' then your super admin user account will be set to goombah/iama.

7. On your first login you should check all the admin settings pages and configure your installation.
