SABnzbd Forums

First post, so be gentle!

As the subject suggests, I'm trying to install sabnzbd on FreeNAS.

I have been trying to follow this thread on the subject but can't seem to get it working... When I come to run /usr/local/bin/SABnzbd.py I get the following message:
I am using FreeNAS 0.7RC1 and was attempting to use sabnzb0.4.3 - although I would prefer to use the latest version possible.

I'm guessing the problem is that the lib files I am missing are from a previous version of freeBSD/FreeNAS, I tried creating a symbolic link from libutil.so.5 to libutil.so.7, which is present - this seemed to work but I got another similar error. Solved this in the same manner until I came to a file which I had no replacement for...

Any help would be appreciated, please excuse me sounding like a bit of a noob, not all that familar with the unix environment.

Thanks!

The SABnzbd team doesn't exactly consists of Linux experts either 
Which Python version do you have?
Does it come as a standard package for the platform?
Did you install the required Python modules (Cheetah, PyOpenSSL, yEnc)?
Have you tried to compile the official Python 2.5 tarball (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/) ?

May have had some luck with this...

I installed sabnzbd using 'pkg_add -r' to grab it from the ftp server and the service seems to have started.

PuTTY'ing from work, so wont know if I am able to access the web interface until I get home.

Think it may have been that I was using Python 2.5.2 before and am using 2.5.4 now? Or that I am using SABnzbd 0.4.8 instead of 0.4.3?

Whatever the reason, happy to be a bit further along.

All working now... Thanks for the suggestions.

Can you tell me how you have updated your python and sabnzb? i can only find self installing packages from old versions.
i have the same problem as you had with 0.7rc1. Thanx

This post details how to get SAB installed on FreeNAS .7RC1 and higher.
