SABnzbd Forums

After upgrading my Linux server from CentOS6 to CentOS7 I had to re-install SABnzbd. It runs great like before, but the program is no longer automatically started at boot up. I can start the program from a PuTTY terminal on a Windows machine. Change from the former installation is, that I now use root as the sabnzbd user. Would that be a problem?

I know nothing about CentOS, so I can only refer to the https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... entos-rhel (especially setting for user / group)

Furthermore:
* why run as root? SAB doesn't need root rights, so why give root rights. Furthermore it could be the cause of your problem
* check the system log files
* what happens when you type "systemctl start sabnzbd.service"

"systemctl start sabnzbd.service" is processed without any error or confirmation, but afterwards there is no sabnzbd process running

Thanks for the link. I had used another scheme but will now try this one.

Works great. Thanks. Root as user was not a problem, although I have changed the sabnzbd user now. Problem was a small typo in sabnzbd.service.
