                                                                                                                                                                                                        [fail]

Can you install another Ubuntu package? For example "nzbget". If not, it's a system problem and thus not SABnzbd related.

i tried sudo apt-get install nzbget and it diddnt work.

You say it is a system issue? in what way? where do i start to try and fix this system issue?

Seems as though it cant write to logfile? what logfile?

Post by **sander** » June 10th, 2012, 1:08 pm

... I'm not sure: the apt-get also tries to install sabnzbd, and then gives an error.

Back to the basics:

sudo apt-get remove sabnzbdplus
sudo apt-get purge sabnzbdplus

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

... is that error free?

First:

ls -al ~/.sabnzbd

Post the output here.

Then:

sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

Post the output here.

The above is apt trying to restart the service after an update, and failing to do so because sabnzbd reports it cannot write to its log file. Fix that problem (permissions? disk full?) and everything else will work.

Yea this is the error I first got when I tried to run it first time so what I tried was to reinstall it and thats when I made this thread. Where is this log file? I have tried logging in as root while installing sab and still got that error

Are you running all as root? Please post the full info, including the command prompt: $ or # is a big difference

And why the PPA?

Anyway: did the install go OK? Can you type "sabnzbdplus"?

jonneymendoza · Post by **jonneymendoza** » June 10th, 2012, 5:37 pm

yes i am running as root. i cant post full info now as i have cleared session

it seems to have installed ok now, let me check:

edit:

permission denied when i try this:

/etc/default/sabnzbdplus

Code: Select all

root@linxuServer:~# /etc/default/sabnzbdplus
-bash: /etc/default/sabnzbdplus: Permission denied
root@linxuServer:~#

my default sabnzbd file looks like this

Code: Select all

# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus
#
# When SABnzbd+ is started using the init script, the
# --daemon option is always used, and the program is
# started under the account of $USER, as set below.
#
# Each setting is marked either "required" or "optional";
# leaving any required setting unconfigured will cause
# the service to not start.

# [required] user or uid of account to run the program as:
USER=root

# [optional] full path to the configuration file of your choice;
#            otherwise, the default location (in $USER's home
#            directory) is used:
CONFIG=

# [optional] hostname/ip and port number to listen on:
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=

# [optional] extra command line options, if any:
EXTRAOPTS=

it says here i need to edit it http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntu-repo

Just type and run 'sabnzbdplus'

Why do you run as root? That goes against the rules of Ubuntu, and Linux in general.

reason why is because at first i could not even edit that file on my default username for some reason!

anyways sabnzbdplus works it looks me into sab! But if i exit via putty, sab stops running again!

how do i let it run in the background forever>?

Post by **sander** » June 10th, 2012, 5:56 pm

run it as a service. See the SABnzbd document how to do that.

BTW: do you know "sudo"?

Rule of thumb: never log in as root.
