my Windows 10 server died but i'm working with the config file from a backup. I installed sabnzbd, renamed the default config file, and pasted the config file from my backup. But still, everytime sab starts up, the wizard starts. What should I do?

Do this: start sabnzbd, fill out & complete the wizard, do a test download. Does that work? If so: quit SABnzbd, and start it again. Do you get working SABnzbd, or the wizard?

Hi, after I completed the wizard, I was able to shut down, and edit the config file using my old one. And now it works. Thank you!
