SABnzbd Forums

Hi,
I don't know why but the program doesn't like me. When I click on the icon it opens a new browser tab but nothing else happens, just empty new tab with http://localhost:8080/ in the address field.
Please help.
Thanks,

It would help if you told us about operating system, web browser etc.

Win 7-64 and Firefox 3.6.15.
Thanks,

Please try : http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/

Not all windows 7 installs like localhost

Same, absolutely nothing.

Are you sure SABnzbd is running? Check in the task manager.
How do you start it?

It is in my Processes tab. I killed the process and start the program again. Still nothing. I start it from my start menu or desktop.

Try to start it like this:
Windows-Key R
"c:\program files (x86)\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.exe" --server 127.0.0.1:8080
Enter

I wonder if something else might be running on - or blocking - port 8080 on your machine [some AV / security program perhaps]?

And what if you use IE to access that URL http://localhost:8080/ ?

Same

Did you try my suggestion yet?

This one helped to run the program. Thanks, I don't know why it doesn't work from the shortcut. Really strange.

OK, in that case open the shortcut properties and add the --server 127.0.0.1 to the path you see there.

im in the same boat. Windows. i'd tried all of the above and more.
inputting that into RUN simply opens it down below but I cant see it.
