Warning at startup - Permissions (None) not correct, use OCTAL notation!

[Def]

Hi,

I finished building my new computer today and upgraded to the latest version of sabnzbd. Default installation, didn't touch anything in the configuration except for the server, skin and folders setup. Everytime I launch it, it gives me a warning:

Code: Select all

ERROR
Permissions (None) not correct, use OCTAL notation!

Everything seems to be fine beside this warning. I searched the faq, manual and forums and didn't find any help for my problem.

Version: 0.4.12
OS: Windows 7 x64
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin :  Plush
Firewall Software : None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes, for every launch of sabnzbd

This seems to be a problem some users are having with 0.4.12

You will need to edit your ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini and change the line starting with "permissions ="

Change it to something like

Code: Select all

permissions = 0777

If that doesn't work, try

Code: Select all

permissions = "0777"

Edit: For windows users this can be ignored, but if you want to get rid of it, do the same to your sabnzbd.ini file, it can be found
WINXP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini
Vista/Win7: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini

No more warning with:

Code: Select all

permissions = 0777

Thanks!

I had the same issue, now I don't have the warning anymore but nothing will download. The program is picking up the nzb files from the watch folder (because they are disappearing after downloading them, assuming sabnzbd is erasing them after it is captured).

SABnzbd indeed erases the NZB files after processing.
Does anything appear in the queue?
Do you see warnings or errors?
Have you defined Usenet servers?
Isn't SABnzbd paused?

Although irritating, the error is harmless.
The "permissions" feature isn't available for Windows.
Nevertheless, the problem will be gone in the next release.

SABnzbd indeed erases the NZB files after processing.
1) Does anything appear in the queue?
2) Do you see warnings or errors?
3) Have you defined Usenet servers?
4) Isn't SABnzbd paused?

1) Yesterday, when I posted, I don't recall it showing up in the queue. Today, when I started it up, I saw the files that I had tried to download in my queue, but it still does not download.
2) I've had the program running for a few minutes now, and still no warnings.
3) I have defined my usenet server and have had it working under these settings previously.
4) I don't believe so, but then again, I don't see where there is a pause button. It says "Idle" at the top right hand corner.

EDIT: Ok, I figured it out. Apparently that first file I had set for download was the problem. I deleted it out of the queue, and it started downloading again. Thanks for the responses guys, you have a good support team.

Could be that the first job was too old.
The feedback for that problem isn't very good.
Next time you doubt if it's downloading, check the Connections page.
It should show some connections with the server(s).
If you see connections and the speed is still 0, then either
the jobs is beyond retention time or the server is not responding.

Thank you, 0777 worked for me!!

It's a bug, but an innocent one.
The only way to fix it now is to edit the sabnzbd.ini file manually
and edit the line:

Code: Select all

permissions = None

to

Code: Select all

permissions = 0777

(The main Config page tells you where sabnzbd.ini is located.)
