SEMI-SOLVED:SABnzbd not starting up properly due to non-existent firewall :P

Version: 0.3.0 Final
OS: Windows XP SP2
Install-type: Windows Compiled installer thingy
Firewall Software: None, windows firewall disabled - but NOD32 AV running
Are you using IPV6?: No
Is the issue reproducible?: Yes?


Hello
I installed SABnzbd 0.3.0 final
Copied my INI file from my SABnzbdRC4 install to my new SABnzbd folder
I start SABnzbd
After a while, my browser (Firefox) pops up with this error:
SABnzbd wrote: Welcome to SABnzbd.exe 0.3.0

    SABnzbd is not compatible with some software firewalls.

    Sorry, but we cannot solve this incompatibility right now.
    Please file a complaint at your firewall supplier.

Program did not start!
But Im not using any software firewall :/
And it cant be NOD32 or my router blocking anything as the settings are exactly the same right?

The thing that got me to updating SABnzbd was that RC4 all of a sudden started not repairing, unpacking the things I downloaded..
Could the issues be related somehow? maybe an error in the INI file? I havent touched it at all..

Please help

Try launching with the host as '0.0.0.0'

To do this either:
Make a shortcut for sabnzbd.exe Right click>properties on the shortcut. In the target box add -s 0.0.0.0:1111 to the end (or whatever port)
or:
Open your ini file. Find the line with "host" in it. change it to equal 0.0.0.0

I changed host to 0.0.0.0
It worked - it launched the firefox window with SABnzbd inside it..
Fully operational i guess
I tried changing it back to 192.168.1.141(which is my internal address) from the webinterface
Then I shut down SABnzbd
Then I started SABnzbd

The same error as before, software firewall interfering, popped up.

Will be looked into. Please double check your local ip is 192.168.1.141 and it hasnt changed (start->run->cmd->ipconfig /all in windows)

For now, 0.0.0.0 is a special ip that listens on all interfaces. So localhost, local ip, external ip ect should all work if firewalls allow.
You could also leave the host blank, ie -s :8080 and it will automatically find your local ip address and use it.

Weird
The only thing I find working is localhost
http://localhost:1111/sabnzbd/ works
http://INTERNALIP:1111/sabnzbd/ does NOT work
http://EXTERNALIP:1111/sabnzbd/ does NOT work (My router is set to forward port 1111 to my computer/internal ip running sabnzbd)
http://0.0.0.0:1111/sabnzbd/ does NOT work (if that would even possible?)

I will try that -s thingy

EDIT -s
new sabnzbd error wrote: Welcome to SABnzbd.exe 0.3.0

    SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
    Port 1111 on -s was tried , but it is not available.
    Some other software uses the port or SABnzbd is already running.

    Please restart SABnzbd with a different port number.

    Press Startkey+R and type the line (example):
        D:\Programmer\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe --server -s:1112

    If you get this error message again, please try a different number.

Program did not start!
Ipconfig confirms my old numbers - the ones I have always used..

in regard to -s :1111 sure there were no other open copies of sabnzbd open?

What version of NOD32 are you using?

Is it the new v3 with the flashy new interface and "Smart Security".

Or the old, stand-alone 2.7 version?

Made sure SABnzbd.exe was not running (ctrl+alt+delete)
Started SABnzbd.exe with these settings:
INI:
host = -s
port = 1111

Firefox pops up with that previous error..

Im using NOD2.7 standalone with the newest updates

sorry, I wasnt clear.
leave the host blank such as
host=
port=1111

the -s is a command line setting.

Ahh I see - thought that -s sounded fishy ^^
deleted -s and replaced with nothing in ini file:

External works
Internal works
localhost does not work
'domainname' works

Sweet - its working now - thanks for the fast replies :)
Viva la SABnzbd :D

Damnit

New issues back to haunt me :(
I downloaded 5 posts last night
the 2 first repaired and extracted and deleted as told so..
The last 3 didnt.
That 'loading' icon in the webinterface just keeps running for those 3 posts.

(This happened with the last SABnzbd too which made me upgrade, hoping that the problems would go away with a new install)

I cant see anything of importance in regards to parring and extracting in the SABnzbd.log :/

Not sure what you mean by the "loading icon in the webinterface just keeps running for those 3 posts."
Can you explain a bit more please.

My history window - painted my posts with wine red
Squared the loading icons I were talking about with red
Image
Actually, the loading icon is also on the first post(bottom), does that mean it got stuck somewhere in that post?
But the first post(bottom) seems to be completed as it is in my completed folder..

It's possible, but I can't tell from the plush template.

If you can navigate to http://ip:port/sabnzbd/history
and view the source, ctrl+a copy and private message it all to me. It might be of some help; if not never mind.

Once you have done this, restart sabnzbd and I suspect the files will start to process.

I PMed you with the source code

SABnzbd is having problems shutting down - it initiates but never fully shutsdown
I have to force shutdown through ctrlaltdelete :/

I start SABnzbd
It pops up with the software firewall interferring again!
Im back to square one :(

I've gotten the same error message today using first 0.3.4 and then 0.4.0RC4
Windows XP Pro SP2, disabled XP firewall, disabled Linksys 350N SPI firewall, disabled antivir, port 8080 seems to be open. Never used prog's like Zonealarm on this relatively fresh laptop. Browser Firefox 3.0 Static IP-address.
