What the hell is wrong?

[wardzach2007]

Today I decided to download a .nzb file and I open sabnzbd and it just won't connect to my internet. It keeps on saying that the link is broken. I have never had this problem and as far I as I can tell, I didn't download anything out of the ordinary.

I'm using a Mac OS is this helps. Here goes a screen shot of it too:

I have searched the recent threads by the way and found a simliar problem, but it was for Windows.

Okay, as of now I think I fixed the problem. There has to be something in Google Chrome, recently that is blocking the application.

I opened it in Safari and it works now:



Does anyone know why it would matter? I've always used Chrome for sabnzbd.

The latest builds of Chrome for OSX can't connect to localhost for some reason. If you play around with various options of what host you listen on in SABnzbd you should be able to get it to work. Try listening on 0.0.0.0, blank, and your local ip, and try connecting on http://[::1]/sabnzbd, http://[local_ip]:8080/sabnzbd. Also, first upgrade to 0.5.2.

If you find a combination that works PLEASE report back as we've been hearing this complaint rather frequently lately. I'd investigate it myself, but I don't have a Mac.

For the hour or so that I've been on this forum I have read some "problems" with the latest 0.5.2. Is it really worth the upgrade?

Also, the complaints lately have been connecting issues with Chrome? Or connecting issues in general?

google can do no wrong !!

QFT!

Allright, I'll update Chrome and see what happens.

[wardzach2007]

It says I have the updated version but I see one for download that is more recent.

notice the BETA tag at the end of that version string.  it means this version of chrome is under development and could contain errors where plugins could stop working, pages doesn't load properly, software crashes and maybe even machine crashes, loss of data and other strange behaviors.

what you have installed is the latest release version, meaning, the latest stable version of chrome. it's probably best to stick with it unless you're not afraid of problems...

I am having the same problem.  I typically use Chome on  my Mac for SAB (5.0) and got that same error today.  So I tried upgrading to 5.2, Firefox and then Safari, all gave me the same error.  I am using Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and thought that may be the problem, so I changed to open DNS but the problem remains.  Any ideas?

"localhost" is a frequent problem, especially with Chrome.
Since OSX and Windows Vista introduced IPV6, localhost is ambiguous and
sometimes the browser has a different opinion than the OS.
Tell SABnzbd to use 127.0.0.1 instead.
You can change that manually in the sabnzbd.ini file using TextEdit.
Location: /home/user/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Look for field "host = "

Thanks shypike.  Your solution worked.

[olufs3n]

why not go into config and change localhost to your computer name instead?

Just chiming in to say that shypike's solution worked like a charm.  I had been having the exact same problem with the latest version of chrome on OSX.
