SabNZBD won't start in the background of WHS (have to log in instead)

Post by Jere_Tristan »

Version: 0.5.0 Final
OS: Windows Home Server (Windows Server 2003)
Install-type: Windows Installer
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

As explained in the title, the SabNZBD program will only start if I log in. In the event of a power outage, after which my server is configured to automatically turn on when power returns, SabNZBD will not start until I manually log into the server. I only have to log in though; it starts without further user intervention.

Why does this happen? Why doesn't Sab just start like every other service? Is there a setting somewhere I have to change?

Under which account do you let it run?
Did you make the service dependant on TCPIP?
Does it take a lot of time for your server to get its IP from your router's DHCPO server?
SABnzbd will fail to start when it doesn't have a valid IP.

It's also not designed to run a a service.
You'll have to wait for 0.6.0 or 0.7.0 for that.
