SABnzbd.exe won't start - getting an error every time

Post by kithoo »

I get an error every time I try to start this puppy up. Done all the standard stuff - reinstalled, uninstall-reboot-reinstall, everything I can think of. Was working fine for months (or longer) until this morning. Here's the error from the log:


Exception in thread HTTPServer Thread-9:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "threading.pyo", line 488, in __bootstrap_inner

File "cherrypy\wsgiserver\__init__.pyo", line 1644, in start
error: (10049, "Can't assign requested address")

You filled in an incorrect host address in Config->General.
(Or you used the IP address and your router assigned a different one).
Assuming Windows, use the Start menu to find "SABnzbd - Safe mode" and start that.

Thanks - the safe mode start got it. Looks like my router went stupid on me and I had to reset all the assigned IPs. Thanks again!

It's better to use 0.0.0.0 if you want external access and localhost if not.
