Need Help - Can't Login, Can't Change Settings

[daprev47]

In the process of trying to setup myNZB on my ipad, I seemed to have changed some setting on my sabnzb that now stops me from being able to log in. When I go to https://localhost:9090/sabnzbd/, which is where I used to go, it just says Unable to load page, basically as if I don't have an internet connection.

Does anyone have any advice that can help?

Thanks very much.

If you setup your SABnzbd to use localhost, no other system will be able to reach it.
Use 0.0.0.0 instead.

Sorry I meant I can't use it on my computer, not on my iPad.

I can't even get into the settings part of the sabnzb on my computer, so how would I change it?

Thanks.

Look for "SABnzbd - Safe mode" in the Windows Start menu.
Stop SABnzbd first, using the Task manager if necessary.

I should have specified I'm using OSX Lion.

[shypike]

Open a Terminal session (Applications->Utilities) and type:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOs/SABnzbd -t 0.0.0.0:9090
Enter

If your browser is still stubborn, use one of these URLs
http://127.0.0.1:9090/sabnzbd
http://[::1]:9090/sabnzbd

I just tried that, and when I hit enter, I get the following message: The Info.plist file must have a PyRuntimeLocations array containing string values for preferred Python runtime locations. These strings should be "otool -L" style mach ids; "@executable_stub" and "~" prefixes will be translated accordingly.

Thanks for all your help, btw.

Weird, it starts up like that on my OSX Lion.
Did you install the specific Lion release?

[daprev47]

Yes I downloaded the Lion specific one.

Is there a way I can access sabnzb without a browser? I also tried both the links you mentioned and neither of them are loading.

I'm getting so frustrated :-(

If you're not concerned about losing your settings, you can do the following.
Make sure SABnzbd is stopped (use the icon in the top menu).
Open a Terminal and remove the settings file:
rm ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Then start SABnzbd again and it should lead you through the Wizard again.
Maybe it's a good idea to remove and re-install SABnzbd from the DMG.

BTW: do you run some fancy security suite (firewall)?

I'm having the same issue.

Shypike, I tried your last suggestion and tossed the .ini file. Now when I select the Wizard from the sabnzbd menu in the Finder, nothing happens.

[shypike]

Selecting the Wizard from a running SABnzbd won't solve the problem.

Stop SABnzbd.
Remove ini file
Start SABnzbd from the Finder.
