Strange Happenings - 0.6.15 HTTPS Port Change

Post by simpic »

Hi,

I was running HTTPS on port 9091 with no issues and super performance. Yesterday we had a power outage and now for some unknown reason the port has changed to 9096 and the application runs like a dog on either HTTPS or HTTP (9090).

I have tried purging the package and then re installing it but no joy.

Also the application will not start from the init.d script on reboot unless I run it from the command line first using sabnzbdplus command.

Any ideas how I can fix this or completely un install it and the re install.

Running ubuntu 11.10 server.

When SAB changes a port number by 5, it is probably because is already running on that 'old' port.

Anyway: how to solve this:
remove and purge the sabnzbdplus package, *and* delete the file sabnzbd.ini in ~/.sabnzbd/ . And make sure that /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus is gone.
Then install sabnzbdplus again, and start it from the command line (as a norma user): it should start the wizard.
If that works, you can configure /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus with the correct user name, and then start SAB as a service

HTH
