SABnzbd Forums

I just picked up the program, version 6.1. I can't get it to connect to SABnzbd server. I quadruple checked the API. I use my PC's IP address 192.168.1.XXX. I'd configured SABnzbd to use port 9091 with https, ans Couch potato and Sickbeard see it fine on the PC. What might I be doing wrong?

Which version of SAB?

SAB is 0.7.14

It's worth mentioning that the program connects just fine to Sickbeard and Couch Potato. I have turned on Debugging but the only message I see is an exclamation point in a diamond with"Not connected to SABnzbd server".

Hi Kev,
In SABnzbd on the PC, under Config, General - there is no field for IP address. There's Host, which is set to localhost. Port says 9090. I have a username and password. Further down, I have HTTPS enabled, and Port 9091 (which Sickbeard and Couch Potato use).

Try changing localhost to 0.0.0.0

Alas! I switched from localhost to 0.0.0.0, restarted SABnzbd and still not connecting. On the PC Sickbeard still connects to SABnzbd.

Do you have SSL enabled in NZB 360 for sab?

Damn nice update. Banner list scrolling is as smooth as silk now and no more image stretching problem

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, I was away for a few days. But yes, I have enabled SSL in NZB360, in that there is a blue check mark after Use SSL/HTTPS.

Also have 6.2 now. Also triple checked API key. In NZB360, I have port as 9091, which is what I have SABnzbd set to for SSL. I tried 9091/sabnzbd in there with no luck. Sickbeard and Couch Potato work fine.

I can't fathom it either.

Try port 9090 for kicks in nzb360.

Having issues can't seem to get the sabnzb to connect, I've used other apps they have worked nps but I dunno what I'm doing wrong.
Host is my dyndns
I know the port is right and open
The api is correct

And yet it won't connect, any ideas?
