rTorrent + ruTorrent doesn't work after yum -y update


Hi

I'm not exactly a Linux Pro so bear with me =)

I have a CentOS 5.5 server running rTorrent + ruTorrent installed according to this guide:
http://sohonetwork.blogspot.com/2010...rutorrent.html

Up until now it worked perfectly. But when following this guide for another projekt:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/CentOS
it asked me to do yum -y update and reboot. Alot of packages were updated

Now it won't work anymore.

ruTorrent says:
"Torrent list not yet available, connection to rtorrent not established"
and
"Bad link to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file."

rTorrent says:
"Could not read resource file: ~/.rtorrent.rc"

The rtorrent process is running. scgi_port/host are correct.

Any ideas?

so you built rTorrent from the svn source code


rebuild it

it is VERY VERY VERY common for programs that are built from source to brake when updating rpm( or deb,or xy) prebuilt packages
this is why it is recommended that you use the package manager if at all possible
or
if you need to build from source then turn it into an rpm, using rpmbuilb.

that way it is listed in the rpm database

--- edit ----
on a different note
get OUT of the habit of using the " -y " option ( the YES TO EVERYTHING) with yum
It WILL come back to bite you in the rear end !!!!!
do not use it unless you DO KNOW exactly 100% EXACTLY what it will do .

And I will think again before using -y =)
