Oeps! Did it again, reconfigured SABnzbd, while downloading

[Macamba]

Hi,

This morning I had the brilliant idea to instruct SABnzbd to change the directories it logs to, stores its cache, and what folder to Backup to. Sad to say, I did this while it was downloading  . After I hit save, SABnzbd stopped downloading. And it does not start again. I paused it, and even instructed it to shut down. But each time I start it, it looks like it is waiting for input. And all the while, it has .nzb files ready in the designated folder (that I did not change).

The only thing I found in the log files was:
sabnzbd.log:
2008-12-06 10:45:11,421::ERROR::Failed to start web-interface
No error since

cherrypy.log:

This is the last time I started SABnzbd again.

Can anyone tell me where I have to kick  , to start it again?

I suspect that the cache got corrupted.
The current implementation of the Config->General settings is not very good.

You should be able to start using the command line parameter --clean
You will use active downloads and the history.

I got it working again, by reverting to the old directories. But if I understand what you are saying I need to execute the following steps:

• Stop downloading;
• Change the directories to the ones I want;
• Quit SABnzbd;
• Start SABnzbd using --clean from C:\Program Files\SABnzbd

That does not seem to be so hart.

Thanks for the feedback.

Almost.

The --clean parameter should not be needed.
That's only when you already have a corruption.

Preferably, the queue should be empty.
The content of active downloads will not be moved.
