This is on a fresh installation. I can verify that rtorrent is running by checking htop but the ruTorrent webUI says that connection is not established. I checked the scgi port settings on both and they match. However, entering the command

> rtorrent

or

> /usr/bin/rtorrent

on the terminal seems to temporarily fix the connection issue but then now I have 2 rtorrent processes running and closing the terminal also terminates the process.
