Description
Hello,
I'm having some problems while installing wTorrent. wTorrent starts correctly, with all XML-RPC functions, the listen to localhost (scgi) is completed succesfully and HTTPD starts correctly with the SCGI interface (I think).
However, when I try to use wtorrent and connect to the interface, it tells me that it cannot connect. When surfing to the /RPC2 location, I get an internal server error. Is there any way to tell whether or not the XML-RPC is functioning correctly?
There is something else, my apache installation is running with the MPM-ITK and hence PHP-scripts are run as another user than the default 'apache'.
I do get the following error in my error log: XML-RPC: xmlrpcmsg::parseResponse: no response received from server.
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
Thank you

Sounds like a problem with the listener inside of rTorrent.
I have seen this reported several times. Are you using an SVN of rTorrent or a release? If you're using a SVN version, I suggest trying a release version.
Also, your browser may cause that as it's not passing anything in for it to execute via RPC, you should try the command line xmlrpc client to try and call a version function or something...
Other than that, all I can think of is in your wTorrent config, make sure the SCGI port is the port of your web server, and not the port of rTorrent.
I will close the ticket, and if you have any more problems, please give us a shout either in the mailing list or in the discussion forums.
