Problem Starting Up SAB on Debian

[WarezMyGF]

The file sabnzbd/utils/__init__.py is part of the tar.gz distribution.
I have my doubts about your unpacking program.

I am using 7-Zip, extract and fully send it over FTP which does crc check. It can't be the unpacking program.

Well, you need the __init__.py file and it is in the distribution tarbal.
It's an empty file (0 bytes), maybe that explains why you have problems with it?

Apart from the cause, just create the empty file with something like

Code: Select all

touch sabnzbd/utils/__init__.py

Then check the file exists (with size 0). Then run SAB.

Thanks for the input so far.

I am going to try the new Alpha 11. What is the proper way to upgrade in linux?

Thanks!

You might not want to upgrade.
Since SAB+ has many dependencies, you should consider simply having 0.5.6 and 0.6.0A1x on your system at the same time.
That's what I've been doing.
Simply download the SABnzbd-0.6.0Alpha12-src.tar.gz.
Extract that file to an appropriate place.
Using the shell, CD'into the folder where you extracted SAB+'s Alpha and run ./SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py (watch the leading dot).
The Alpha is really stable but it's still an alpha.
So backup your queue in case something goes wrong .
Cheers

Please note that 0.6.0 will upgrade the sabnzbd.ini file
so that 0.5.6 cannot use it anymore.
You should use separate INI files.
