Can't write to logfile?

Post by Schrodinger »

Hey guys,

I'm running Sabnzbd 0.4.9 on Ubuntu Linux 9.04

I was having a problem with a stuck download so I killed the daemon via my init.d scripts and then started the daemon from the command line with the --clean directive.

Now when I try to restart it from the init.d scripts it keeps saying that it is unable to write to the logfile?

Ideas?

I'm a moron, it was a permissions error

I chowned the .sabnzbd directory back to the user that runs sab and the daemon started perfectly!

Sorry to bother you all. Hope this helps someone someday!
