+To make rtgui available through your web site, I suggest
+that you add something like the following to httpd.conf:
+
+SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:5000
+
+ Alias /rtgui/ "%%WWWDIR%%/"
+
+ <Directory "%%WWWDIR%%/">
+ Options none
+ AllowOverride Limit
+ Order Deny,Allow
+ Allow from all
+ </Directory>
+
+with in .rtorrent.rc:
+scgi_port = localhost:5000
+
+or in your lighttpd:
+scgi.server = (
+ "/RPC2" =>
+ ( "127.0.0.1" =>
+ (
+ "socket" => "/home/user/rtorrent/rpc.socket",
+ "check-local" => "disable",
+ "disable-time" => 0, # don't disable scgi if connection fails
+ )
+ )
+ )
+with .rtorrent.rc:
+scgi_local = /home/user/rtorrent/rpc.socket

+Security considerations
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Absolutely no thought whatsoever has been given to security in rtGui -
+do not run this on a publicly available website. rtGui is intended for
+'home' use where users can be considered as trusted. A basic
+authentication mechanism is planned for future releases. At the very
+least, you should password protect your webserver using .htaccess or
+similar (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htaccess for more info).
