Because I'm behind a router I like to open just 1 port and let lighttpd handle the reverse proxying.
Ktorrent doesn't seem to like this though.
It just keeps loading forever without a single message in lighttpd logs.
I have sabnzbd "proxified" like this aswell and it works fine.

Lighttpd config

Code: Select all

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/ktorrent/" {
            proxy.server = (
                        "" => ((
                                    "host"            => "127.0.0.1",
                                    "port"            => 8081
                        ))
            )
}

Any ideas would be appreciated

What exactly are you trying to achieve here ?

That instead of opening another port on my router I can tunnel it through lighttpd o.o


so it's a bit like this:

host/ktorrent <-> lighttpd proxy <-> ktorrent webui

instead of:

host:port <> ktorrent webui

And how do you intend to reach lighttpd from the outside without opening a port on the router ?

Lighttpd's port is open of course.

Use wireshark to see if the requests end up at ktorrent

Changed to the 1.5 trunk version of lighttpd and changed the config to

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/ktorrent(/|$)" {
proxy-core.backends = ( "127.0.0.1:8081" )
proxy-core.protocol = "http"
proxy-core.rewrite-request = (
"_uri" => ( "^/ktorrent/?(.*)" => "/$1" ),
)
}

to conform with the new format.

And it works wooohooo! sort of ><

The requested file /usr/share/kde4/apps/ktorrent/www//default/ktorrent was not found !

Tried every possible combination, but it keeps sticking /ktorrent at the end

Obviously the URL is wrong, lighttpd needs to rewrite the URL for this to work.
