SABnzbd on CentOS

[sabbied1]

Hi,

I just recently installed CentOS on an old machine and wanted to install SABnzbd as well.
In the end I managed to get it running, but it says that my "UNRAR version isn't recommended" and I should get another from rarlab.

I installed the 3.7.7 version for CentOS, but what is the recommended one if it isn't that one?

And should I uninstall that one before installing another? If so, how?

Greetz,

Anton

There's nothing more recent than 3.7.7 for CentOS.
SABnzbd will work, but you may encounter some incompatible RAR files.
Also the -or option (auto-renaming) will not be used, resulting in a failed unpack when file names overlap.

If you're satisfied with the version you have, you can disable the warning, as described here:

Because of this unrar version the auto rename functionality doesn't work altogether, or only not when there are two files with similar names?

[shypike]

Auto rename is used when unrar would need to overwrite an existing file.
Without "-or" it will refuse to do so and stop with an error message.

Okay, understood. Thanks for the quick response(s).
