SABnzbd Forums

I followed several methods to install this on WHS to run when no user is logged on.  Any way I do it, it works perfectly when I am logged into the server via RDC, then use any other PC (and iphone app) to manage the program, but as soon as I log out of the WHS then no other PC or the app can connect to it. I have tried to set it up as a service from the wiki, set it up with anyservice installer and set it as a scheduled task, all with the same result.

Any help gratefully recieved!

Thanks.

Have you followed the new instructions for 0.6.0?

If you follow this carefully it will work.
Also tell the WHS firewall to let SABnzbd-service.exe talk to other PCs.

You need to add an exception in the firewall. In addition, instead of installing it as a service, you can just create a task that starts SABnzbd at boot, regardless of whether or not one has logged in. I had the same problem at first, but now it's working great on my WHS 2011 box.

You mean WHS Vail?
That's Server 2008 based.
On older Windows versions, scheduled tasks are not as reliable.

Yes, WHS 2011 is the official name of WHS Vail.

Yeah add it to windows firewall and it will work fine.
