How To Set Up The Bti-Tracker BitTorrent Tracker System On Fedora/Centos/Redhat

BtiTracker is a complete PHP tracker system for BitTorrent, easy to setup and configure. It comes with full remote admin management. This guide explains how to set it up on a Fedora/CentOS/RedHat system.

Please note I have not tested this out on CentOS/RedHat but due to Fedora/CentOS useing the RedHat core, it should work without any problems.

What you need to install:

* PHP
* Apache
and about 20 MB of space for the tracker and torrent.

yum install httpd mysql-server php php-mysql php-mbstring php-gd

chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
/etc/init.d/httpd start
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword

mkdir /tmp/bt
cd /tmp/bt
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/btit-tracker/btitracker_147.zip?modtime=1196799856&big_mirror=0

mv btit147 /var/www/html/bt
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE BT_tracker;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE ON BT_tracker.* TO 'BT_tracker'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'BT_tracker';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;
