SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: not configured, aborting.

[dkcrainnybt]

sabnzbd service gives an error
in ubuntu try to start sabnzbd like this: /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start

And then i get the problem below, but i already configured sabnzbd, i have a ini file in /home/username/.sabnzbd/ directory

SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: not configured, aborting. See /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

I think this is a bug because in the previous version everything worked fine, is there a solution, i wouldn't know how to otherwise run it without having a terminal open all the time

Looks like this is an Ubuntu package ?
Please complain to it's author, which is not the SABnzbd team.
You can run it from the command line, using:

SABnzbd.py -f /PATH-TO-INIFILE -d

This makes it start in daemon mode.

[dkcrainnybt]

See /etc/default/sabnzbdplus
I allready did that, and it's configured, so it should work.

as for this:
You can run it from the command line, using:
SABnzbd.py -f /PATH-TO-INIFILE -d
I'll give it a try tonight when i get home.

I thought this was a SABnzbd problem since it says: SABnzb+ not configured. but my bad, could you point me in the right direction to report this?

[jcfp]

Run this:

Code: Select all

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

...then post all output.

When i use this command "SABnzbd.py -f /home/usename/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -d"
this is the result: "-bash: SABnzbd.py: command not found"

Am I doing it wrong?

[rAf]

try

Code: Select all

./SABnzbd.py -f /home/usename/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -d

or

Code: Select all

python SABnzbd.py -f /home/usename/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -d

Which shows that there's no username set, meaning you still haven't bothered to take a look at the init script's settings file /etc/default/sabnzbdplus, although you were repeatedly asked to do so by both the script and me. Dkcrainnybt, could you please stop wasting everybody's time and finally follow the advice given?

[dkcrainnybt]

jcfp,

I can understand that for a linux guru this is very easy, but for me it is a mistery i don't know much about linux and scripts etc. but i am trying my best, I didn't know it was text file that i could edit. This is not something i had to do with the previous version. and i read on the site:

Ubuntu
Installing under Ubuntu is now extremely easy as of Jaunty thanks to jcfp and other users who have helped. Install using the following commands:

    sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus
    sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus-theme-smpl
    sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus-theme-plush
    sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus-theme-iphone

I did not read anywhere "edit the /etc/default/sabnzbdplus text file" it only says "SEE /etc/default/sabnzbdplus" i tried to run it to no avail

I was under the impression that the "SABnzb+ not configured" meant that i had to put in a newsserver and all other settings, thats what i did by starting sab manually. Anyway I will try to fix it immidiately, I did not know that I was wasting everybody's time on this forum.

p.s. It's not that I did not try it myself before posting this question.... I spent one entire evening on it without any luck.

hi mate. did u ever sort this out? i am having exact same error as you. how do u edit the ini file? i thought the sab wizard/setup does this for u?

[Lowlight]

For anyone having trouble try this:

terminal > gksudo gedit > open > navigate to etc/default/sabnzbdplus > Put your username in front of the USER: field and you should be good to go.
