Intro

OpenTorX is a open source content index website, freely available for anyone to use for personal or commercial use under the MIT license.

I'll be setting up a demo sometime soon.

Features

• Ability to use different types of database engines. i.e mysql, mysqli, postgre, odbc, mssql, sqlite, oci8
• Search categories and keywords! i.e "Anime:twintails"
• Loads fast using jQuery, Skeleton.css and active records caching!
• Easy personalization to your liking!

Requirements

Apache/Nginx or a PHP supported web server. Basic server maintenance and database knowledge. PHP 4.5 =>

Install

These steps assume you know proper server configurations and or know how to setup a virtual server in apache or other web servers for local machine access.

• Clone / Extract source code to a web server directory.
• Configure mysql settings in database.php located in. "/application/config/" and create a new database or use a already made one.

Change these lines to access the database.

$db['default']['username'] = 'yourusername';
$db['default']['password'] = 'yourpassword';
$db['default']['database'] = 'opentorx';

If you plan on using another database type. Please change this line: $db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mydatabasesystem';

Supported: mysql, mysqli, postgre, odbc, mssql, sqlite, oci8

• Import opentorx_data_dump.sql into your database or someone else's. This file includes the table structure. (WARNING) This is a PLACEHOLDER, hash links no longer work! MAKE SURE YOU TRUNCATE THE TABLES!

NOTE: This dump file is using KAT partial dump. (When it was online at the time.)

• Enjoy the experience!

Troubleshooting:

How come the torrent download links are broken?

The site hosting the torrents has went down. For now the already available dump will be a placeholder until you get some real data.

I can load the front page fine, but I get apache/web server 404 error on other pages!

If your running this on project on a sub folder. I.E /localhost/opentorx. You will need to configure .htaccess for your server! Or simply create a virtual host! ... I will let you google how to do this.

How can I import x and y's database dump?

You will need to consult a online forum, or the database system your using to see how you can do local file imports of the data dump.

Can I use this for my website?

YES! Be sure to send me a link!

I still need help! :(

You can ask questions on the GitHub issue page or contact me!

How come "Share" isn't available anymore?

This feature is removed because TorCache is no longer available. Plus this project is more for in-home torrent indexing.

Why Isn't NodeJS/Grunt/Gulp Being Used For Front-End?

I wanted to make this project extremely easy to port/install/running. So the less deps, the better.
