WebUI not starting

Post by rangester »

I just installed Deluge on my headless server, and i wanted to start the WebUI, but when i try to execute

Code: Select all

deluge -u web
it gives the following error:

Code: Select all

[ERROR   ] 01:59:25 ui:146 No module named web.web
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/ui/ui.py", line 131, in __init__
    from deluge.ui.web.web import WebUI
ImportError: No module named web.web
[ERROR   ] 01:59:25 ui:147 There was an error whilst launching the request UI: web
[ERROR   ] 01:59:25 ui:148 Look at the traceback above for more information.
It seems to me that the webui was not installed (or atleast not properly), but i have no idea how to solve that.

Deluge version: 1.2.0 (just saw this is not the newest, but it's the one your ubuntu repo gave me)
Ubuntu version: 8.04

I can't find my libtorrent version, but i just did apt-get upgrade so i guess it should be the latest (so 0.15.0 ?).

I'm sorry but we cannot really support the older versions. The best solution is to build from source.

See these two threads for help:
[SOLVED] build deluge 1.3.1 in hardy (Ubuntu 8.04)
Deluge 1.2 not running on Ubuntu 8.04

I just built the newest version (1.3.1) from source, and now when i run deluge -u web i can reach the webUI, and everything works how it's supposed to. However, i can't logout from my server (or do anything on it for that matter) in putty, because after entering deluge -u web the terminal won't give me a new line, just emptyness. When i hard-exit putty the WebUI stops working. I'm probably making some stupid mistake here, but i'm kinda clueless at the moment :?

Run:

Code: Select all

deluge-web -f
The -f tells it to fork (i.e. run in the background), so you can then close putty afterwards :)

That did the trick :)

btw, i'm amazed by the UI, i used torrentflux before this (which just crashed on me this evening and won't go back up), and wow, this is quite a difference :)
