Problem with SABnzbd, can't see web interface

[switch]

Find your settings.ini, change the host to 0.0.0.0 and restart sabnzbd/your machine

Your settings.ini is in ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini this filke DOES exist, it is just hidden. Either follow the instructions linked in the wiki, or in finder use the got to folder menu item.

Thanks, working again.

Why does this keep happening?

Hi,
I work on a Mac (for 1 week now) and used to work on windows dor the past 15 years... so an ini file is hard to find for me on a mac.
somebody has got sabnzb working with a MAC?

Thanks a lot

Hi, I was having exactly the same problem as the other guys described, on OS X 10.5.7 - nothing changed, but suddenly lost the web GUI.

The solution of changing the host to 0.0.0.0 appears to have worked. However, does anybody know what may have caused the problem? I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to stop it happening again (prevention being better than cure etc etc).

Thanks.

Started happening to me again today, after changing my router for a new one.
By editing the ini file back to 0.0.0.0 I can access the web GUI on my iMac, but that won't help when I come to use it away from my own network (i.e. myNZB on iPhone, etc)

[shypike]

Does the iPhone use Wifi to reach your PC running SABnzbd or does it use the GSM network?
Did you set up port-forwarding in your new router?

Which URL are you using to reach the SABnzbd PC?

[gers1978]

Can't get it working at all.  I even set the server/host to the actual IP address my ISP is giving me, and it still isn't working.  I've opened all ports and forwarded them properly, but nothing works.

Arrghhhhh!!!!

I even set the server/host to the actual IP address my ISP is giving me, and it still isn't working.

You cannot use your ISP-assigned IP address, that belongs to the router.
Make sure you have a static local IP for the system you run SABnzbd on (e.g. 192.168.1.2).
Use that address as "host" for SABnzbd.
Make sure port forwarding is from the public port to the local port.
The public and local port should have the same number (e.g. 8080).
Also, not all port numbers will work, because many ISP will block ports.
Most will block the email port (25) and 80 (http) and many more.

[gers1978]

But my dyndns always resolves to my ISP ip address, and it worked for months.

I'll try your suggestion anyway

[shypike]

No, when I said I used my IP address, I meant I used my external ip address assigned by my ISP (so I could rule out dyndns being the problem)

It's exactly the "external IP address" that you cannot use.
Anything behind the router (like the system you run SABnzbd on) doesn't even know it exists.
SABnzbd doesn't know what to do with it.

Pennty drops! Thanks!

Running on Windows Vista 64bit
SABNZD Ver 0.4.11
Browsers used (Opera and IE)

Heres is part of my setup.ini

enable_tv_sorting = 1
tv_sort_string = %sn/Season %s/%sn - S%0sE%0e - %en.%ext
ionice = ""
web_color = darkblue
web_color2 = ""
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 8081
web_dir = Default
web_dir2 = ""


but I am still not getting the web interface. (http://0.0.0.0:8081/sabnzbd)

Task manager shows SABNZD running as a process.

If I type http://0.0.0.0.:8081/sabnzd  or localhost etc nothing I have checked the firewall for blocking and everything OK and as the process is running - So I guess that is not the problem.

I tried deleting the SABNZBD folder in the User Apps and doing a fresh install with virgin files and still no joy.  

Any ideas as I'm fresh out of them now and I cant see any help on the Wiki beyond changing to 0.0.0.0 am I missing something really simple??

Thanks

[shypike]

0.0.0.0 is a special address telling SABnzbd to listen on both the IP address and localhost.
So you do not tell your browser to go to http://0.0.0.0:8080/sabnzbd,
but instead use (not all may work):

Code: Select all

http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd
http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd
http://YOUR-IP:8080/sabnzbd

replace YOUR-IP with the actual IP address of your system.

[lardygeezer]

I tried all of those you suggested..none of those work.


I'm baffled..and I normally can work these things out.  :-\

Oh I should add I turned off the Firewall completely just to make sure.

but as you use port 8081, you should try:

Code: Select all

http://localhost:8081/sabnzbd
http://127.0.0.1:8081/sabnzbd
http://[::1]:8081/sabnzbd
http://YOUR-IP:8081/sabnzbd
