SABnzbd Forums

Hi Forum,
is anyone running SabNZBd on OpenSolaris (2008.11) successfully?
I am planning to build my fileserver with Solaris and it would be a nice add-on to have Sab running there, too?

Provided Python 2.5 is available, it's not very hard to install it.
Most of the required packages can be installed manually.
There's only one exception: that's the yEnc package (it requires a C compiler).
If you do not install it, SABnzbd will work, only a bit slower.

Look at this page for more info:
http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-cc42

Starting at where cheetah-2.0.1 is mentioned.
You can skip the CherrPy part.

The biggest challenges may be par2cmdline.
Unrar you can get pre-built here: http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm

BTW: I assume you're looking at Solaris for Intel/AMD (and not SPARC).

Actually, a number of Python things are present in Sun's package manager.
Python
unzip
pyopenssl

So Cheetah, yEnc, par2cmdline and unrar you'll have to install manually.
You can do without yEnc.

Thx for your help, I will try it as soon as I have my OS-Box running...
Btw. yes you are right, I am using the OSx86, not Sparc.

Update:
I managed to install/compile & run SabNZBd on my Solaris Box:

but right now I don't get the GUI in my browser, just the following output on the console(local and remote):
::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [11/Jan/2009:19:01:46] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 1406 "" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; de; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111710 Firefox/3.0.4"

after editing the .ini I downloaded a .nzb file for verification of funtionality, just the GUI is not shown :-(

SABnzbd only has a web interface, remember?
Which URL did you use in your browser?

BTW why are you using release 0.4.2? We're on 0.4.6 now.

WebInterface was what I meant by writing GUI 
thats why I wrote I don't get the GUI in my browser...

You're using an incorrect URL in your webbrowser: you should use http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd and not http://localhost:8080/

Your log says "GET / HTTP/1.1", whereas correct URL results in logging "GET /sabnzbd HTTP/1.1", like here:

@shypike:

BTW: Is there any experience with SABnzbd on Python 2.6? OpenSUSE 11.1 has introduced Python 2.6, it seems.

We don't support Python 2.6
I believe most bits work, however whenever sabnzbd does it's internal restart, such as when saving certain config values, the program exits.

OK. I'm still "safe" for at least 10 months as Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty will still have python 2.5: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/python mentions "Package: python (2.5.2-3ubuntu1)"

switch wrote: We don't support Python 2.6

We use about 10 different packages from other parties (either embedded or installed Python modules).
These aren't all compatible with Python 2.6.
We keep an eye on progress in that area.

A transfer to Python 3 might be years away.

@shypike:
thx for pointing out this stupid error :-) I must havr read this a thousand times while thinking what could be the problem... So now I know: the user (me) ist the problem...

I'm using python 2.6 @ Arch Linux.

Installed these packages from Arch: 'python-cheetah' 'python-feedparser' 'python-yenc' 'pyopenssl'

I only get a few warnings at startup, but it works fine
I'm using the cherrypy provided by sabnzbd.
I got the same warning when using cherrpy provided by Arch.

/opt/sabnzbd/cherrypy/lib/cptools.py:4: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5
/opt/sabnzbd/cherrypy/lib/sessions.py:16: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  import sha
/opt/sabnzbd/cherrypy/_cperror.py:190: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6
  self.message = message

I think "deprecated" is just a warning and should not interfere with normal operation.

However, there can be all sorts of subtle incompatibilities in other areas.

I am using Python 2.52 on osol and didn't get any errors/warnings. atm everything is running, I even have a webinterface
