uTorrent Server (utserver) on Centos 7 (x86_64)

setup.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Took me awhile to figure out how to install utserver on Centos 7 x86_64... Especially with the new systemd subsystem.  None of the builds I saw support it - but it will work with a couple symlinks and compatibility packages.

@nohnaimer this manual (centos) works fine, your manual is for ubuntu which is not related to current topic.

Please read the first paragraph of article:
Utorrent has released a 64 bit build for Linux platforms (see details here). The release is built on Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS). The problem is that if you try to run it on a distribution like RHEL/CentOS or any older distribution with old libraries, it will fail because of the newer dependencies like glibc 2.14 and libssl 1.0.0 etc.

But it is better to run something like this: vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/utserver.service

The script runs great but I had issues with the openssl.0.9.8e libraries of course. You need to install the 32bit libssl dependencies to get this to work correctly with the command below.

yum install openssl098e.i686

Here are my build steps. This process works on a clean install of CentOS. Run the commands under the root account.

1. Install CentOS (7.4)
2. disable selinux
3. stop and disable firewalld
4. yum update the system
5. Reboot
6. yum install openssl098e.i686
7. ./setup.sh (to the path of where ever you put the script)
8. Go the the IP address and port as pointed out in the echo of the script.

Should work for you. Cheers!
