I currently have Sab v 0.7.16 running as a service on a 12.04 LTS vm. If I stop the service, it fails when I try to restart it, but I can still run sabnzbd from the command line. When I run:

Code: Select all

sh -x /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start

I get this output:

Can anyone help?

What is the output of "sudo service sabnzbdplus restart"?

Have you compared the output of "sh -x /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start" with a succesful start?

Code: Select all

 * Stopping SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber                                  [ OK ]
 * Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber                                  [fail]

I can't get a successful start to be able to check. Last time I started the service was right after I created the VM, so I have to keep reverting to snapshot to get to a state where it was running as a service.

I'm prolly gonna start from scratch, as that will be quicker than troubleshooting, but I wanna figure this out...cuz I know its gonna be something stupid.

UPDATE: Its really strange. When I revert back to right after I installed SAB, I can start and stop the service no problem. So something happened between then and installing SickBeard, Couchpotato and Transmission that broke it.

UPDATE: It's SickBeard. Once that gets installed, I can no longer restart the service. I think it has to do with ports.
