060b2: Win7 service starts webbrowser, with incorrect URL

[sander]

I installed 060b2 as a service on Windows 7. The service auto-starts, so that's good. However, it also auto-starts the webbrowser interface, with an incorrect URL: http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/apikey=23 ... 03c1blabla.

http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/switches/ -> "Launch Browser on Startup" is OFF.



So:
- why does the win7-service auto-start a webbrowser while the switch is OFF
- why does it start with the apikey stuff
- how can I avoid the webbrowser beging autostarted by the SAB service?

Did you follow the installation instructions? http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/sabnzbd-as-a-windows-service
Starting a service will automatically disable the browser start option.

Sorry, I accidentally "edited" your message, instead of "quoting" it.

... got the wizard (?), which I ran.

I must say I never tested the service without having a valid sabnzbd.ini first.
Probably because it makes little sense to do that.
The idea is that you setup SABnzbd while it is still a "normal" application.
It could be that when SABnzbd detects an incomplete INI file, it will force startup of the browser anyway.
I don't think it should, on the other hand how will you know otherwise that it's incomplete?

D*mn: the auto-browser with the faulty URL is back again.

... more Window$-testing in a few days or so.

D*mn: the auto-browser with the faulty URL is back again.

Is the INI file complete? It should contain at least one server definition.

Yes, there is a newsserver, I'm able to change settings, and those changes *partially* 'survive' reboots: I've change all folders settings c:\Downloads\... . That works for incomplete, complete, but nor for logs *or* admin (no access to the Windows at the moment, I can't check it right now).
However, the very strange thing is that the c:\Downloads\settings\sabnzbd.ini (to which the -f parameter is pointing), does *not* change its date/time... Strange. So I have to verify there's some hidden/secret sabnzbd.ini ... 

Setup is this:
user-account with admin right, which I use to setup the SAB service. This is the account that gets the auto-start webbrowser with incorrect URL containing apikey=blablabla
user-account without admin rights, which I also use to download and to change SAB settings via the GUI


So: there is something strange going on.


I will run SABnzbd from the console (with the service stopped), to see if that improves the situation.

More strange Windows stuff:

I did a clean install of Win7 in Virtualbox, downloaded and startet beta3. I started sabnzbd-console with -f c:\downloads\settings\sabnzbd.ini, went through the wizard, stopped SAB, and c:\downloads\settings\sabnzbd.ini was there.

However, after starting SAB with the same command line (arrow up), ... the wizard started again.

I'm puzzled.

ini included as .txt (unaltered; does not contain any password)

There is still no server defined in your INI file.
Did you go through the full Wizard?
Did you test server settings on the Wizard page?
Did you reach the Wizard restart phase?
After the restart, did a server show up?

Ah. Strange. :-(
Yes
Yes

Yes

Now the good news: it's working.

I did a lot of things: run SABnzbd from the console with -f, set it up, tested it. Good. I installed the service without -f (which was refused: good), then with -f (accepted: good), and no wizard. I set both services to "autostart" (the delayed-autostart did not start within a minute or so?), I started both services and everyting is working. Changes via the WebGUI are saved in the correct .ini. Good. I removed the SAB stuff in the personal / account subdirectory to avoid misunderstandings.

So looks good now. Hopefully I (and others) can reproduce this on other Windows instances.

And the good news: with SABnzbd Host set to '::' and a restart, SAB also listens to the non-Teredo IPv6 address. Nice. I believe SAB does not listen to a Teredo IPv6 address (which could be Windows' default behaviour).

Thanks for your help, Shypike.
