According to my logs, the web service was failing to start due to port 8080 in use.

I managed to figure out why, and thought I'd post here as a heads up.

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\sabnzbd\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\logs\cherrypy.log

was showing:

I wasn't getting anything very helpful from netstat -a -b

So i had to one by one troubleshoot recent installs to my system.

In the end, the cause was AVGFree, which i had to restart this morning. Looks like the websheild component was running on this port.

I fixed this by uninstall ACGFree, and switich to AVAST Home.

I thought i'd post this here in case others are affected.

Glad you solved it, but you can choose another port for SABnzbd.

Sure, but i wanted to know what was suddenly listening on a port that i otherwise used.

Likewise, change all my greasemonkey scripts / bookmarks? Far too much work.
