Add by file path uses a url of "api?mode=addlocalfile&value=full/local/path/to/file.ext&pp=1&script=script.cmd&priority=-1" which uses value instead of name which the source uses.

Should be:
api?mode=addlocalfile&name=full/local/path/to/file.ext&pp=1&script=script.cmd&priority=-1

Thanks,

I had fixed it in the text of example link, just not in the url of the link

No prob, i've spotted another error in the docs which isn't worth opening up a new topic:

In http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/directory-setup there is the sentence below that i dont think applies to linux installs as my install takes relative paths from the home directory.

All relative paths you set in the INI file, will be relative to the location of the INI file.

I am pretty sure it is still relative to the location of the ini (which by default is inside the home directory)

There's a subtle difference in how you start SABnzbd.

When you do not use the -f parameter, then all folders will be in ~/.sabnzbd
(so relative to the ini file), except the "incomplete" and "complete" folders.

When you do use the -f parameter, all folders will be relative to the ini file.

Not too sure i understand your post shypike as my ini file is in ~/.sabnzbd both with and without -f switch would be relative to my ini.

Adding:

        logging.info('Dirscanner ' + cfg.DIRSCAN_DIR.get())
        logging.info('Dirscanner ' + cfg.DIRSCAN_DIR.get_path())

to dirscanner.py yeilds:

dougle@local:~$ tail -f /home/dougle/.sabnzbd/logs/sabnzbd.log | grep Dirscanner
2010-03-01 19:38:52,211::INFO::[dirscanner:268] Dirscanner Download
2010-03-01 19:38:52,211::INFO::[dirscanner:269] Dirscanner /home/dougle/Download

This was an install from the repos

I knew i wasn't crazy.....

We don't create the repository release, that's done by JCFP.
He runs his own board on this forum.

I get your point now dougle, only the log_dir, nzb_backup_dir and cache_dir on that page are relative to the ini. I have updated the wiki to reflect that. Thanks
