Running.sab failed?

Post by 5aq1b »

Hey All

I tried a google of this error but no joy.  Anyway i just recently installed SABnzbd (great software), but yesterday i logged off my account on WHS and logged back on and my queue and history had cleared from SAB (!).

Looked at logs and it gives this:

Loading C:\Documents and Settings\Saqib\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\admin\running.sab failed

Anyone know what this refers to?

The "running.sab" has no meaning, it's just a left-behind logging from a removed feature.
If you ran SABnzbd from a remote desktop session to WHS and you logged off,
the WHS will have forcefully terminated SABnzbd.
That's not good for the queue.
You should either start it from the official WHS console with a plugin like AdvancedAdmin
or you should install it as a service.
For the latter see: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/how-to-install-on-whs

You can probably salvage your lost jobs on the Status page, tab "Queue repair".
