Hey guys, so I've got sab installed on ubuntu using the default repo's, etc. and I'm running into a question that is probably more linux than sab but maybe someone can help me.
So my /etc/default/sabnzbdplus looks like this:
USER=josh
CONFIG=/storage/downloads
HOST=
PORT=
EXTRAOPTS=
---
And still sab is putting the ini in /home/josh/.sabnzbd
To back up a little bit here, the only reason I moved it was because /storage/downloads is on my 250GB drive and I need to keep PAR/RAR off my OS drive because I'm running a m0n0wall VM on there and I dont want to have any performance issues.
But when I put /storage/downloads/incomplete, etc. in the web interface, it wouldnt take, and obviously doing so in the ini makes sab crash. I then tried ./storage/downloads/incomplete, etc. because I thought that would escape the /home/josh/.sabnzbd home I thought it was stuck in. Anyway, it would be nice to leave the ini file in /home/josh/.sabnzbd if possible, but if not, can anyone tell me why /etc/default/sabnzbdplus is not having any effect?
btw, josh is the primary account I setup when installing ubuntu. It also is the owner of /storage/downloads:
drwxr-xr-x 6 josh josh 4096 2009-06-28 19:37 downloads
thanks in advance.

Re: Ubuntu 9.04 Install, directory questions
is this directory really /storage/... or relative from /home/user/ ?
Re: Ubuntu 9.04 Install, directory questions
All this points to lack of permissions, especially since trying to set these directories in the web interface also fails. Keep in mind that in order to have access to a directory, you will also need some minimal permissions (iirc at least +x for the relevant account) in the rest of the tree.
