Salve a tutti!

Devo realizzare un sistema di trasferimento file tra federati in una federazione di repository distribuiti tramite il protocollo Bittorrent. Seguendo le specifiche di tale protocollo stavo testando il funzionamento del server tracker tramite le macchine virtuali,cioè ho messo in seeding un file da una macchina virtuale utilizzando l'indirizzo del server tracker come announce URL(che risiede su macchina fisica). Il problema è che provando a scaricare il suddetto file da un uteriore macchina virtuale il client mi restituisce l'errore "database failure",cioè dato che il tracker dovrebbe creare un database con la lista di tutti i peers connessi è come se non riesce a creare il database. Quale può essere la causa?

Vi posto il codice del tracker

(Per realizzare il tracker sto usando Bitstorm http://felten.se/announce/ui.php)

codice:
//Enable debugging?
//This allows anyone to see the entire peer database by appending ?debug to the announce URL
define('__DEBUGGING_ON', false);

//What version are we at?
define('__VERSION', 1.3);

//How often should clients pull server for new clients? (Seconds)
define('__INTERVAL', 1800);

//What's the minimum interval a client may pull the server? (Seconds)
//Some bittorrent clients does not obey this
define('__INTERVAL_MIN', 300);

//How long should we wait for a client to re-announce after the last
//announce expires? (Seconds)
define('__CLIENT_TIMEOUT', 60);

//Skip sending the peer id if client does not want it?
//Hint: Should be set to true
define('__NO_PEER_ID', true);

//Should seeders not see each others?
//Hint: Should be set to true
define('__NO_SEED_P2P', true);

//Where should we save the peer database
//On Linux, you should use /dev/shm as it is very fast.
//On Windows, you will need to change this value to some
//other valid path such as C:/Peers.txt
define('__LOCATION_PEERS', 'C:/');

//Should we enable short announces?
//This allows NATed clients to get updates much faster, but it also
//takes more load on the server.
//(This is just an experimental feature which may be turned off)
define('__ENABLE_SHORT_ANNOUNCE', true);

//In case someone tries to access the tracker using a browser,
//redirect to this URL or file
define('__REDIR_BROWSER', './ui.php');
