Same issue here, 0.7.0 wont launch on OS X 10.7.4

editing the .ini to 127.0.0.1 (also ::1) will allow launch and will allow it to work, but I cannot access the web gui using my IP, nor can I access sab externally using my IP. Using localhost:8080 works in browser (safari), but using a ssl connection no longer works, and again cannot connect via external IP any longer.

Downgrading to previous version brings back full functionality.

I have just updated to 7.0 on my FreeBSD 8.2 machine and am getting the same issue.

By using 'host = ::1' in the config I can start SABnzbd and access it locally, but I can not get remote access, which since my server is headless it is pretty much useless at the moment.

My hosts file is as basic as it gets:
I am assuming there is some basic networking thing I don't know?


[EDIT:] I just added this line to my sabnzbd.ini and it works

LOCAL.IP.ADDRESS             EXTERNAL.IP.ADDRESS

I assume you changed this in /etc/hosts.
What exactly did you change?
There's a bug in SABnzbd where it cannot handle that "uname -n" doesn't give a resolvable name.

Thanks Shypike, I just came back cos I had a sinking feeling I said sabnzbd.ini not /etc/hosts!

Sorry, I was pretty busy at the time. I won't fix the post now cos that would be confusing. Or should I?


My sabnzbd.ini host entry is actually my home URL, but I assume the external IP would work just as well.
/etc/hosts file looks exactly like this:

It's clear to me now.

@shypike
No I do not run VMWare Fusion or any other virtualization software on this machine as it is my headless server.

I cannot ping the resulting name from the uname -n command, however I can ping localhost. Hmmm I will have to look into that when I get some time later on.

uname -n returns earth.local (earth is my hostname).

My hosts file already has all the localhost entries. bunheads solution allowed sabnzbd to start with 0.0.0.0 as the host, but I now can not access it from an external address.

I do not have VMWare Fusion.

Wait half a day until release 0.7.2 is released.

I've upgraded to 0.7.3 and still can't access it externally. I can access transmission running on the same computer. That's the only computer on the network, sabnzbd and transmission are basically the only things that computer is used for, and AFAIK I haven't changed any settings. It was working with 0.6.9.

Instead of 0.0.0.0, try the numerical IP of your system.
And tell your router not to change that anymore.

Changed the IP, still can't connect. I also tried setting up a domain name and using that.

Edit: I think my ISP may actually be to blame for this.

Edit2: Yep, ISP decided to implement filtering on a couple of ports, including 8080. It's all working now.
