Also, there is no more Sabnzbplus file in the /etc/default for me to configure?

jcfp wrote: I suspect the spaces in --server are the result of sloppiness when copying that output from the terminal to the forum. That log looks normal. A look at the output of ifconfig, netstat -lntep might help. You could try the actual ip instead of 0.0.0.0 to see if that makes a difference. No firewall in place? Didn't make any network related changes? Etc.

Careful, linux and unix are case sensitive. No caps in that file name.

And no, the wizard only shows when there's no proper sabnzbd.ini yet - that remains untouched even if you delete/reinstall the package.

i can however access it via PUTTY using" sabznbdplus start" which launches the sab app from within the putty and gives me a ui for me thats similar to the web page. However, i simply cannot access this app on any of my machines using the web browser.

it keeps saying page not found yet the app is running fine and can be access via putty? i looked at my port forwarding and its fine. got port 8080 open and the local ip address is static and working.

any advice on what may have went wrong?

There are three 'levels' of access to SABnbzd:
1) access from the machine itself
2) access from other computers on the LAN
3) access from Internet (which will involve your modem port forwarding)

You have to start at 1:
if you use putty to access the Ubuntu machine, what happens when you use "lynx http://localhost:8080/" (maybe you need to install lynx via "sudo apt-get install lynx")? Do you get a screen with content?
If so, find out the IP address of the ubuntu machine (which you probably use for putty) and then use "lynx http://:8080/" on the ubuntu machine. Do you get a screen with content?

If you want the program to be started as a service (i.e., in the background on system boot), you will need to edit /etc/default/sabnzbdplus and set the host to 0.0.0.0 and the port and user to the appropriate settings. Once configured correctly, you will be able to start and stop SABnzbd with the commands /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start and /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus stop. Although for obvious reasons no browser is auto-started when running the program like this, the web interface is still available at the usual location of http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ (or whatever other host and port you configured).

Good. That means SABnzbd is running.

Next step:
logon using putty
type 'ifconfig' to find the IP address of your Ubuntu server. It's probably something like 10.0.x.y or 192.168.a.b.
Post the IP address here (as a check)
then: still on the Ubuntu machine, try to access SABnzbd via that IP address, like "lynx http://10.0.1.2:8080" (ATTENTION: this is an example. you should fill out your own IP address)
Does that work?

Clear: SABnzbd is not listening on the LAN-interface. That's the default setup during the wizard. So let's check: What is the output of "grep host ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini" ? I think the first hit is "localhost" (and it should be 0.0.0.0 or :: )

Here's mine:

Code: Select all

sander@netbook:~$ grep host ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini 
host = ::
host = newszilla6.xs4all.nl
host = news.lightningusenet.com
sander@netbook:~$ 

host = 0.0.0.0
host = europe-ssl.newsdemon.com
