Solved : problem remote connection on local network

[Syl]

Hello,

This worked for a long time, until reïnstalling Mac OS X. Same version : Mac OS 10.9.3. It was a reïnstallation because of a HD crash.
Connecting on the local Mac is easy and working :
localhost:8080/sabnzbd/
But on another Mac in the same netwerk, this doesn't work anymore : 192.168.1.4:8080/sabnzbd/
A message appears : "Safari can not connect to the server"
- IP address is OK.
- Port 8080 is not in use on this local network
- This Mac is visible in the network (ping test done), File sharing, remote desktop (screensharing) is working.
- other connections in the local network are also working : for instance 192.168.1.4 can connect to another local web server on another Mac 192.168.1.7:1353.
- settings in SABNZBD are ok, I think...

Also the same problem on the 3th Mac and a Windows PC in the same local network. So I think the problem should be in the Mac (192.168.1.4) running SABNZBD.

(I don't need a remote connection outside, just on another Mac in the local network.)

So can someone tell me what's going on here?

Thanks!

OK, searching for 2 days ... and now I found it.
Settings for web server
was :
host=localhost
username=XXX
password =YYY

should be :
host=0.0.0.0
no username
no password

Problem solved.

Hmm

For me changing host=127.0.0.1 to host= 0.0.0.0 solved the same problem.

I was able to keep the user/pass in place.

Weird, I've had it as 127.0.0.1 for years and never had an issue until now.

Thanks for the pointer!
