It is difficult to find an Internet user who has never used the Torrent network. But what to do if you no longer want to be a simple user and do not want to be limited only to downloading files, but want to create your own torrent tracker, similar to many others? In this article, you will learn how to create your own torrent tracker without the extra expense and hassle.
Necessary
domain, hosting, FileZilla, torrent engine
Instructions
Step 1
Find the right hosting that offers favorable terms for hosting free sites with MySQL and PHP support. Register a new site, enter its name. If a domain is not provided as a gift, and you are not satisfied with a third-level domain, you can additionally buy a second-level domain and attach it to your new site.
After completing the registration of the site, confirm it and remember the authorization data in the system for subsequent site management.
Step 2
In addition to hosting, you need a torrent engine. Go online and download a utility called FileZilla. It will ask you to enter a host, username and password. Copy this data from the confirmation letter of registration on the hosting.
After that, find and download the engine of the future tracker and upload it using FileZilla to the specified host in the public_html folder. Specify Full Control permission for all files in the engine by right-clicking on each file.
Step 3
Confirm the download and open your new site. The tracker installation process will begin. Installation is very simple - click "Next" and enter the necessary data for the database queries: MySQL server name, username, password, and so on. After finishing the work on creating the database, create your administrator account.
Now you can launch the tracker for public use - it's ready.
