Setup A Bittorrent Tracker in Fedora 7

1. Install Apache (httpd)
yum install httpd
2. Configure the new services to start automatically
/sbin/chkconfig httpd on
/sbin/service httpd start

3. Install Bittorrent Tracker
yum install bittorent

4. Start Bittorrent Tracker
/etc/init.d/bttrack start

5. Disable firewall and SElinux.

6. Test
Point your web browser to the bittorrent port on your server (e.g. http://yourdomain.com:6969)
and the announce URL will be something like http://yourdomain.com:6969/announce

6. If you want to change the default Bittorent port (6969), modify the two files:
/etc/sysconfig/bittorent and /etc/init.d/bttrack
