Getting an error and downloads won't work

[smidley]

Getting the following error, can someone help point me in the right direction for a fix?

Server: news.supernews.com:443

Status: Enabled

# Connections: Failed to connect: (10038, 'Socket operation on non-socket') [email protected]:443

Are you using SSL or not? 443 is an SSL port. If you don't have the SSL box ticked it won't work.

[smidley]

Yes, using SSL with the box ticked.

I would do this:

in SABnzbd: config -> server: Add Server:

sslreader.eweka.nl
port 563
tick SSL

then click on Add Server. Then at the new server, click on Test Server. If SABnzbd's popup says "Server requires username and password.", your SABnzbd is fine. If you get something else, the problem is locally: firewall, router, incorrect SABnzbd setup.

[smidley]

Thanks for the advice. I got a message that says Server requires username and password. If I click test server on my supernews one, nothing ever pops up.

[sander]

I tried news.supernews.com:443 with SSL ticked, and I do get "Server requires username and password.". So that looks correct.

So ... maybe remove the server entry, re-enter it and try again? Try both 443 and 563

You don't have firewall blocking this connection, do you?

[smidley]

Tried removing the server entry and re-adding it. Tried different ports. Firewall is totally disabled on the server. However, I have a feeling something else might be happening now with this server since newznab suddenly isn't authenticating me to supernews as well. Checked my supernews account though and all is well there. I can also get sab to work fine on another computer.

Which OS?
Which SAB version?
How many connections to the newsserver? Lower to 1 for this test.

Have you already tried a reboot?

[smidley]

OS is Server 2008 R2. Sab 0.7.16.

Lowered connections down to 1 and didn't make any difference. Tried multiple reboots.

[sander]

So Windows. This is the meaning of your error:

Code: Select all

WSAENOTSOCK
10038
Socket operation on nonsocket.
An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. Either the socket handle parameter did not reference a valid socket, or for select, a member of an fd_set was not valid.

Long shot:

1) Use "138.199.67.30" as server (as you can access eweka over SSL)
2) Stop SABnzbd, open a CMD terminal and run sabnzbd-console.exe ... look at the stdout / stderr logging if you see anything useful.

[smidley]

I did what you said. Here's the output of the cmd window: http://pastebin.com/VR6LUSX9

Ah:

Code: Select all

2013-12-02 16:03:22,789::INFO::[downloader:378] [email protected]:443: Initiating connection

2013-12-02 16:05:23,471::INFO::[downloader:661] Thread [email protected]:443: timed out

So ... first the "timed out" after two minutes (and only then non-socket message). I would focus on the time-out ...

De-install and remove firewall, reboot, and try again.
What do you get when you fill out "8.8.8.8" with port 119, and with port 443? On Linux, I get "[Errno 111] Failed to connect: (110, 'timed out') [email protected]:119"
And, just re-checking: the eweka SSL still works (giving the username/password needed)?
