HELP... Files are in queue but won't download

[gopokes7]

I have installed Sabnzbd and worked great then it all of the sudden stopped downloading. I believe its a port issue. Each time i start it i get the screen that says i need to open run command and past in the line of text to restart it on another port. Can someone please help?????

Are you sure sabnzbd is not already running? SABnzbd runs a webserver in the background, your browser is simply a connection to it, closing your browser does not close sabnznd.

Try the following url: http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ (you may need to change the port from 8080 if you have changed the port) and bookmark it if it works.

If not, do the command the error page tells you to do. On windows it is something like:
Start>Run, enter: "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s localhost:8085

If that fails to run, try the following if not running vista:
Start>Run, enter: "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s 0.0.0.0:8085
or if you are running vista, or the above also fails:
Start>Run, enter: "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s :8085

Gopokes I had the same problem and the answer switch has provided was the same issue I had. If you look in task manager you should see a sabnzbd process if it is already running

Also, I would recommend trying a different browser.

I had recently installed the NEW Opera 10.0 browser and it seems to not be to compatible.   


Perhaps you are already using IE or Firefox though...
