Unable to open SABnzbd or locate SABnzbd.ini

[Bendixen]

Hi,

After I changed the host IP, I no longer can open SABnzbd. Nothing happens when I open the app. After asking google, I learned that this should be an easy fix by open the SABnzbd.ini file, and change the host IP back to 127.0.0.1 - However, I can't find this.
I looked in the '~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini' location, but no SABnzbd folder exists in Application Support.

I then tried to delete the SABnzbd app, and download it again, however nothing happens when I try to open it.

SABnzbd was working fine before the connection with CouchPotato made an error.

I'm currently running SABnzbd on OSX 10.13.1

Does anyone know a fix?

It is really in ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini , but that is a hidden directory, so difficult to find for Mac users.

When starting SABnzbd, does it still show the arrow in your top bar?
If so, you can click it and select Troubleshoot > 127.0.0.1

I can no longer open sabnzb. I am using os high sierra. I was getting slow download speeds and could not find a solution. so I read someone change the port from 8080 to 8085 so I tried that and now sabnzb doesn't start anymore. I even tried to download the new version of sab and nothing I don't even get the little arrow at the top of the screen either.

@petvil are you able to locate your SABnzbd.ini file?

Try using in terminal:
cd ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/

You can now remove or rename the sabnzbd.ini file, or try to edit it.
Easiest is to do "rm sabnzbd.ini sabnzbdOLD.ini"
Then try to start SABnzbd again, your settings will now be reset but at least it starts.

I don't know much about computer language. But I tried entering cd ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/ in terminal and all I get is no such file or directory cd ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/
-bash: cd: /Users/petvil/Library/Application: No such file or directory

[safihre]

Try:
cd "~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/"

[petvil]

that didn't work either for me. I've used SAB for years with out any problems. Why doesn't the new sab 2.3.5 not open either? But like I said I changed the port to 8085 from 8080 then I started having this problem. Not sure if it's related.

I managed to located the ini file and removed it and I got everything up and running but my download speeds are still super slow like 362kb/s

Those speeds sounds like lots of missing articles.
Have you tried to download something more recent that's available from your main server? How many servers do you have actually?
