Installing sabnzbd on gentoo [updated to 0.5.6]

[c0nv1ct]

I personnaly did not have the problem whereas i did never do fresh install but only upgrades from 0.4.12 to 0.5.
You may have forgot/failed to merge (dispatch-conf/etc-update) the configuration file which change a bit (diretories) between 0.4 & 0.5.
Just remerge, and check your configuration file.

If the problem persists, i think you have some garbage leftover somewhere or your history database in bad state.

Maybe purging all but your configuration file (/etc/sabnzbd.conf) that you 'll backup somewhere can help and be the quick and dirty way to fix your installation.
You can also trying first to bakcupdelete the sqlite files in:
/var/lib/sabnzbd/admin/history1.db
/var/lib/sabnzbd/dirscan/history1.db

For example, i could have done that to do the operation:

Code: Select all

emerge -C sabnzbd
# backup what is backupable in /var/lib/sabnzbd (like the complete folder ;) )
rm -rf /var/lib/sabzbd /etc/sabnzbd /usr/share/sabnzbd*

Then remerge it

Code: Select all

emerge sabnzbd

And grab some bits from the bakuped configuration file without copying it as-is.

Code: Select all

vimdiff ~/sabznbd.conf /etc/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.conf

Uninstalled and manually removed the rest and after reinstall all is working good now.  Thanks!

hi,
i sucessfully installed sabnzbd with de overlay, but it seems to need a cheetah install (with emerge), what i've done,
but this is my problem :
on my system, python 2.5 and 2.6 are installed (2.6 for emerge and others apps, 2.5 for sabnzbd), but 2.5 don't use the cheetah that i've emerged so :

i can launch sabnzbd with 2.6 but with a lot of bugs (= not usable), and 2.5 won't start, it returns : "The following modules need to be installed: Cheetah, cherrypy(included, unpack the zip), sqlite(if python 2.4)"

(sqlite is installed of course).

Someone can help ?
thanks

0.5.0 fully supports Python 2.6, at least if it's a decent implementation.
We test primarily with 2.6.

You need to have mercurial installed.

Thanks for the installation instructions. Works here on Sabayon 5.4

[chrisk2305]

i downloaded the ebuilds manually and they installed fine, but i don't see any config files neiter can is a start stop script in /etc/init.d.

Be sure to use last layman version:
layman --version
1.3.3

[chrisk2305]

thanks for your reply, but it still doesn't work, though i have cryptelium in my list, it is not used and I can't add it via layman:

Code: Select all

fileserver ~ # layman --version
1.4.1
fileserver ~ # layman -a cryptelium
* Overlay "cryptelium" does not exist.
fileserver ~ # layman -l
* arcon                     [Mercurial ] (https://arcon.googlecode.com/hg/                                                                   )
* cryptelium                [Mercurial ] (https://hg.cryptelium.net/hg/system/gentoo/overlay                                                 )
* gentoo-quebec             [Subversion] (https://gentoo-quebec.org/svn/gentoo-quebec/trunk/overlay/                                         )
* nx                        [Subversion] (svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/nx/testing                                                          )

I had the same trouble, keeps bugging me about cryptelium. So I first did a sync of layman and after that a nice update. Worked like a charm!  ;)

Code: Select all

prime ~ # layman -S
prime ~ # PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/var/lib/layman/cryptelium ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -av sabnzbd

Got my sab working here via the overlays.

The only issue I am having is the /etc/init.d/sabnzbd script is not starting sab in daemon mode.

If I do it manually it works fine, brings be back to the bash prompt, if I use the script it doesn't and I get all the log output... this at start up is a problem.

For now I am starting it manually in a screen so it doesn't interfere.

On closer inspection, the init.d script has the -d switch and I have played around with syntax and such but it still doesn't start in daemon mode properly.


Any ideas?

Any chance to have beta/RC version with this overlay ?

Thanks for the job done

[malaky]

cherrypy is now in the main gentoo portage


I'm still having problems with the above, daemon mode works on the command line, but not in my init.d script :/

cherrypy is now in the main gentoo portage

SABnzbd will only work with the specific CherryPy release included in our source distribution.

Any chance of getting 0.6.1 Final added to the overlay?

I will say a in place upgrade wasn't too difficult.

I cleared out my queue first, and them stopped SABnzbd, replaced the symlink to the new scripts, and restarted SABnzbd.

I'm not sure why, but SABnzbd kept wanting to make a temp copy of the conf file, which was initially installed (by default I believe) to /etc/. Permissions denied it, so I moved the conf to my sabznbd home folder, changed the /etc/conf.d/ file to reflect the move, and fired SABnzbd back up. No further issues.

I will say that I'm not too fond of the way it upgraded my history. It botched the totals a huge bit. (50TB down to 1008G ?)
