Serious Issue when changing provider host name

Post by TakeshiKovacs »

Hi,

I'm using Win 7, SABD 0.7.19 and Sick Beard. Everything had been working well, but I recently moved from the US to South Africa. I went into SABD Config and changed the provider host name from 'usxxxxxx.xxx' to 'euxxxxxx.xxx'. I did not change anything else. I saved my changes and then returned to SABD. However, when I go back to Config, I saw that my change was not saved. So this time I changed it, saved the changes and then restarted SABDNZB. Upon restart, SABD is trying to launch '10.0.0.4:563' for the web interface. 10.0.0.4 is my computer's IP and 563 is the port it's supposed to use to communicate with my newsgroup provider. I don't understand how changing two characters could wreak such havoc.

I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled SABD, but then all my config was lost. I backed up my sabdnzb.ini but when I restored it, problem came back. I can't see where the config file sets the parameters for the web interface to start. I went back to try and reset all my config but it's kind of a mess. I lost my categories and I don't know about post processing.

I have checked the exe.log but it's showing an error in a Python script that I can't even find (systrayiconthread.pyo).

FYI - can start SABD in Safe Mode. I have queued up some D/Ls and I will see how it handles categories and post-processing.

Probably your browser auto-filling those fields in the settings (using chrome?). Try with a fresh web browser.

It could be but I have been using the same computer with the same browser for over a year since I set all this up. I seem to have it all set it up now and am working on getting the post-processing set back up.
