SABnzbd Forums

I came home today to discover there was a power failure in my apartment.

I was running SABnzbd 0.7 on a macOS 10.11.6. When I restarted my machine, I was greeted with an error and SAB would just not start anymore.

Poking around it seemed the error was something to with SAB not being able to reference some file: `/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib`

I gave up and decided time to upgrade anyway, so I downloaded the latest SABnzbd 2.1.0...Trying to start that up, again nothing seemed to happen. I manually checked the existing `sabnzbd.ini` file and it's still there with port 8080 specified.

The only other relevant error I could find in the console was a somewhat unhelpful error: I never had a problem before and I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.

In the location where you found sabnzbd.ini, there should also be a log file. Can you see if there's info in there?

Or run from the console:

/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Content/MacOS/SABnzbd --console -l 2

This will set logging to Debug to hopefully see an error of some kind. Later you should disable Debug logging again.

I checked the log and it looks like the culprit was:
I checked my network and sure enough, my IP address had shuffled after the power outage. I modified the `sabnzbd.ini` file to reflect the new IP and started up SAB successfully!

Thanks for your help!

Now go and switch to Glitter skin, 0.7 is veryyy old!

Better to use 0.0.0.0 in that field.

Updated now to 2.2.0

If I do that, won't it be impossible to access SAB from other devices on my network?

No, 0.0.0.0 is exactly the setting to make it accessible to devices in the network:

Awesome.
Appreciate the tip!
