SABnzbd Forums

Version: 0.5.0 Final
OS: Windows Home Server (Windows Server 2003)
Install-type: Windows Installer
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

As explained in the title, the SabNZBD program will only start if I log in. In the event of a power outage, after which my server is configured to automatically turn on when power returns, SabNZBD will not start until I manually log into the server. I only have to log in though; it starts without further user intervention.

Why does this happen? Why doesn't Sab just start like every other service? Is there a setting somewhere I have to change?

Hello,

i fixed the same issue by turning on the autologon in windows server

Under which account do you let it run?
Did you make the service dependant on TCPIP?
Does it take a lot of time for your server to get its IP from your router's DHCPO server?
SABnzbd will fail to start when it doesn't have a valid IP.

It's also not designed to run a a service.
You'll have to wait for 0.6.0 or 0.7.0 for that.
