Can't stream torrents who are in subfolders about peerflix-server

[asapach]

@zobrak, it should work both ways. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you build the URL programmatically, you must urlencode the path, e.g. / becomes %2F.

Can you share the torrent/magnet link that is broken for you?

[zobrak]

This one doesn't work for example

Works for me, e.g.: http://localhost:9000/torrents/dbcc055d503485928e52f349acf179812b777c4f/files/%5Bwww.Cpasbien.pe%5D%20Tristesse.Club.2014.FRENCH.DVDRip.XviD-SVR%2F%5Bwww.Cpasbien.pe%5D%20Tristesse.Club.2014.FRENCH.DVDRip.XviD-SVR.avi

I don't see what I can do...

Here is my apache log :

... I don't know where else can I check. Maybe the torrents directory permissions ?

[asapach]

Can you show me the console log matching this one from apache log:
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [10/Oct/2014:10:01:18 +0200] "GET /torrents/dbcc055d503485928e52f349acf179812b777c4f/files/%5Bwww.Cpasbien.pe%5D%20Tristesse.Club.2014.FRENCH.DVDRip.XviD-SVR%2F%5Bwww.Cpasbien.pe%5D%20Tristesse.Club.2014.FRENCH.DVDRip.XviD-SVR.avi HTTP/1.1" 404

My guess is that apache doesn't proxy this request properly. Try doing this without apache and try other reverse proxies, e.g. nginx or haproxy.

[zobrak]

Nothing happens in console while looking for the movie. By the way, files that are not in sub folders don't work no more today

[asapach]

If nothing happens in the console, it means that the request doesn't get to peerflix-server.

[zobrak]

Maybe i'm saying bullshit, but if it was a handling issue with apache, why can I get the home page ? and why requests to socket.io goes well ?

[asapach]

No idea, maybe apache doesn't like the urlencoded path?
As for socket.io, you should set up apache to proxy websockets for it to work properly: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_wstunnel.html

[asapach]

Here's an nginx config that seems to work for me:

server {
        listen 443;
        server_name example.com;

        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;

        location / {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
        }

        location /socket.io/ {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:9000/socket.io/;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }
}

[zobrak]

Actually I've got a "Cannot GET / " message when trying to browse the peerflix server.
in the console there is :
GET / 404 163ms
GET /favicon.ico 404 23ms
GET /favicon.ico 404 20ms
I have tried with both apache and nginx and I have this message...

[asapach]

Does it work without a reverse proxy? Can you try and re-install peerflix-server?

[zobrak]

I have uninstalled peerflix-server with "npm uninstall -g peerflix-server" and then reinstalled it.

Now it works fine but only with nginx. But no more with apache and the same 404 message.

I tried to link apache with nginx and 404 still here with apache. It should be as you said earlier a trouble with the way apache use url encoding or a misconfiguration on my server.

Thanks for help
