SABnzbd doesn't start on boot (CentOS7)

Post by roelvdh »

After upgrading my Linux server from CentOS6 to CentOS7 I had to re-install SABnzbd. It runs great like before, but the program is no longer automatically started at boot up. I can start the program from a PuTTY terminal on a Windows machine. Change from the former installation is, that I now use root as the sabnzbd user. Would that be a problem?

I know nothing about CentOS, so I can only refer to the https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... entos-rhel (especially setting for user / group)

Furthermore:
* why run as root? SAB doesn't need root rights, so why give root rights. Furthermore it could be the cause of your problem
* check the system log files
* what happens when you type "systemctl start sabnzbd.service"

"systemctl start sabnzbd.service" is processed without any error or confirmation, but afterwards there is no sabnzbd process running

Works great. Thanks. Root as user was not a problem, although I have changed the sabnzbd user now. Problem was a small typo in sabnzbd.service.
