SABnzbd Forums

hi
I used this link to get it installed
http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/quick-setup
it is installed on a debian server with no graphicall interface.

I noticed it was installed in the root folder and could only be run as root. I moved te folder to my home folder but it won't run as the regular user. Then I deleted the sabnzbd folder and reinstalled, even found a link for 0.4.6 and used that.
Got the tar xf SABnzbd-0.4.5-src.tar
file into my homedirectory but it won't work as normal user only as root.

anyone can help me to install it in the home folder of a normal user and be able to run it as user not root ?


thanks

I have been installing and deleting the folder and hope I didn't mess it up too bad

It would help if you would post all commands and output and interaction here.

The instruction on http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/quick-setup#toc1 should work. Important: run as normal user in your home directory.

Possibly SABnzbd cannot detect your home folder.
You can help it by using the -f option: The default location for sabnzbd.ini is ~/.sabnzbd,
but you are free to put it anywhere else (where you have write permission).

OK
thanks for the help, I deleted all files I could find from sabnzdb, and went trough the steps again.

It al worked ok, have the version 0.4.6 now. I started the program from the SABnzbd folder with python SABnzbd.py
and I get in my textscreen the page from SABnzdb.

Thereafter I restarted the server to start clean and added the option -b 0 so it wouldn't start a local webbrowser.

then it shows in my terminal screen this line as last

27/Feb/2009:14:11:51 HTTP INFO Serving HTTP on http://localhost:8080/

But when I type in my webbrowser   http://192.168.1.200:8080/ I get the message that the browser can't make a connection

also when I type http://192.168.1.200:8080/sabnzbd/  I get this message

Any solutions ??


Something else I noticed, I'm trying all this by ssh-ing into my debian computer and then in the console work via my macbook.
Now just I'm sitting behind a ubuntu pc, going into the SABnzbd-0.4.6 folder and trying to start SABnzdb with the same command as before:  python SABnzbd.py -b 0    and I now get an error :

Error:
Can't write to logfile.

a minute later I tried via the macbook and there it starts ?? (but still nothing via the webbrowser)

Yes: read http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/configure-general , first paragraph "Host".

You got me puzzled for quite a while until I read what I posted before and loked at the message 

so starting with : python SABnzbd.py -b 0 -s 192.168.1.200:8080

did the trick and I got it now in the webbrowser     

thanks a lot , now I have to figure out how to get SABnzb running in the background and starting up and shutting down when I boot the server ..... any hints for this ?

How about reading the Wiki:
http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-as-a-unix-daemon

Hi

yes I've seen this page, problem is that I don't exactly know what to do with it.... I can copy past it into nano and change this: replace sabuser with the proper user account and HOSTADDRESS:PORT by the proper address and port.

But then where to put it and how ? As a text file ?

I'll continue to google for info about scripts but it's not really clear to me





So I've adapted the file, just don't know what to do with  /usr/bin/wget and /usr/bin/sudo

do I have to change this path also ?

below is what I have now, SABnzbd is in the following folder :  /home/jeroen/SABnzbd-0.4.6

if i type whoami I get jeroenpeters

so is below correct ?


#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
  echo "Starting SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/sudo -u jeroenpeters -H /usr/local/src/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /home/jeroenpeters/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
;;
stop)
  echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after "http://192.168.1.200:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0

OK

Ive put the script in /etc/init.d/SABnzbd

then I ran chmod 755 /etc/init.d/SABnzbd

then I ran update-rc.d SABnzbd defaults

But it doesn't work and I'm stuck here, I really need some help with this......

below the contens of the script, I don't know if its modified alright....




#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
  echo "Starting SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/sudo -u jeroenpeters -H /home/jeroen/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f
/home/jeroen/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
;;
stop)
  echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after "http://192.168.1.200:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0



thanks



- If I run /etc/init.d/SABnzbd start


I get

Starting SABnzbd.
sudo: /home/jeroen/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py: command not found

Any idea ??

Yes, I think the path "/home/jeroen/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py" is wrong.
Where did you install SABnzbd?

/home/jeroen/SABnzbd-0.4.6

these files are in here :


.              COPYRIGHT.txt  interfaces   PKG-INFO    Sample-PostProc.cmd
..             GPL2.txt       ISSUES.txt   README.txt  Sample-PostProc.sh
CHANGELOG.txt  GPL3.txt       licenses     sabnzbd
cherrypy       INSTALL.txt    LICENSE.txt  SABnzbd.py


I see , I changed /home/jeroen/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py to /home/jeroen/SABnzbd-0.4.6/SABnzbd.py


by running /etc/init.d/SABnzbd start


I get :

This is basic Linux stuff. Think "root" versus normal user ... look at the file /home/jeroen/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini (tip: "ls -al /home/jeroen/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini"). And  reread the beginning of this thread ...

The folder /home/jeroen/.sabnzbd does not exist.
You must create it first:

Hi

it exists

these file are in /home/jeroen/

jeroenpeters@BP6:~$


And I changed the folder  ls -al /home/jeroen/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jeroenpeters users 1974 feb 28 08:11 /home/jeroen/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

so that this folder kan be written to.

if now I    etc/init.d/SABnzbd start

I get all this...........
