It was working fine until I changed the password to the astraweb server.

At first I was getting the warning:
ERROR
Permissions (None) not correct, use OCTAL notation!

Fixed it with the change:
permissions = 0777

Now the warning doesn't appear, but it doesn't download. Also, I have troubles even starting the program, I get the message:
SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 8082 on localhost was tried , but it is not available.
Some other software uses the port or SABnzbd is already running.

This occurs on fresh restart. Nothing in the background should be running on this port on a fresh restart. I'm stumpted.

Version: 0.4.12
OS: Windows 7 x64
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin :  SMPL
Firewall Software : None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes, for every launch of sabnzbd

Strange, I would the the following in Start>Run:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s0.0.0.0:8082
or

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s:8085
(The above one needs to be accessed by http://yourlocalip:8082/sabnzbd/)

I can get access to the program, but for some reason it is still not downloading. I can see it show up in my que though, but no activity.

Solved the problem. The first item in the queue was just a dead download apparently, after deleting it, the rest of the items in my queue started going. Thank you for the help!
