Need Help for installing as Service.

Post by yazyazoo »

I have been trying to install Sabnzbd as a service and can't get it to work.

The directions aren't too clear. Do we need to install SAB first?

The install intructions say to use this command.

SABnzbd-service.exe -f <path> install

Is path where the Sabnzbd-service.exe file is?

Then the Start and Stop.

Is that needed each time we use it and what are the helper services?

Can anyone do a sample installtion with all the steps in Windows 7 or a little video tutorial?

I really want Sabnzd to run even if I don't log in.

Thanks.

Path is the location of your SABnzbd work folder.
It will also hold the sabnzbd.ini file.
