      Is ABC reporting any errors?
      Does the tracker statistic page report the seed?

      If the tracker reports the seed you are probably firewalled. If you are seeding with a PC on the same LAN subnet you have to specify an IP address in ABC or others won't see you. Also, make sure you have forwarded the right ports!

      That example is if you untar the files to the subdirectory 'tracker'. You need to untar them to a directory visible on the internet.

      You do not need to specify a port in the announce URL unless you have set apache to listen on a different port besides port 80.

      The tracker has client filtering which is off by default. If left off it will support all clients.

      The only documents are the README files etc in the tarball, and there are comments in config.php that describe what each of the settings do.

      do i need to install the bt client in the server. and use this client to seed the torrent???

      Yes, this is the tracker only. It does not contain a webseed component. You will have to install that seperately.

      You don't need to configure crontab for basic tracker functionality.

      All the tracker does is hand a list of other peers to someone checking in. The tracker's responsibility ends after that.

      The clients themselves are responsible for connecting to other clients. It is possible that a firewall is preventing this client from connecting to both seeds. It is also possible that [if you are using a webseed] the client can't connect to a webseed.

      Those sound like client issues to me.

        If you want the tracker to add the link automatically, you need to set up torrent uploading. See the 'Allow torrent uploading?' part of config.php.

        This entails creating a subdirectory for torrents - the apache server will need write access to this directory. Once that's done, the tracker will add the URL for you.

        Regarding the /announce question, you don't need to create a directory for it. The '/announce' is actually passed to tracker.php as a parameter.
