Re: Moved from XP to Win7 how do i get sab to work.
The cache and settings for SABnzbd will be stored in different locations.
You can either copy them from the xp location (replace C:\ and USER with the appropriate drive and username)
to the windows 7 location (replace C:\ and USER with the appropriate drive and username)
or use a portable installation by placing sabnzbd in a non-program files folder (such as C:\SABnzbd\) and copying the settings and cache into that folder.
If you set explicit paths for things such as download locations, backup folder, or nzb backup, be sure to verify they still exist and the drive names havent changed before starting the new copy.

Re: Moved from XP to Win7 how do i get sab to work.
Hi,
What i did now placing my ini file in the sab dir again that way its easy to find and edit if i have to change between xp eand w7.
However i do have some hardcoded paths like K:/Sabnzbd/Incomplete, K:/Sabnzbd/nzb_backups. How can i make them relative? Will Sabnzbd/Incomplete or Incomplete be enough for Sab to understand?

They are relative to the location of the INI file.nzb_leecher wrote: How can i make them relative?

Re: Moved from XP to Win7 how do i get sab to work.
In XP localhost = 127.0.0.1 (An ipv4 address)
In Vista/Win7 localhost = [::1] (ipv6 address)
Not really a fault of either sabnzbd or win7, just differences between modern operating systems.
In Vista/Win7 localhost = [::1] (ipv6 address)

Re: Moved from XP to Win7 how do i get sab to work.
I would say that this 'mystery' is an extra argument for my feature suggestion on http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=1579 : based on the OS, SABnzbd would present http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd resp. http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd as the local URL, and auto-start the webbrowser with that URL ...switch wrote: In XP localhost = 127.0.0.1 (An ipv4 address)

Well this would not help in this scenario, as he would still be trying to access 127.0.0.1. Also I think displaying 'localhost' is more user friendly than [::1]
Re: Moved from XP to Win7 how do i get sab to work.
"localhost" is indeed more user friendly, and on re-reading the thread I see "localhost" works for the OP. Good.switch wrote: Well this would not help in this scenario, as he would still be trying to access 127.0.0.1. Also I think displaying 'localhost' is more user friendly than [::1]
I was confusing it with the Mac case where even "localhost" did not work (http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=1594) and only [::1] worked. But, that could be caused by something else.
