SABnzbd Forums

Hello everyone,

I have recently installed sabnzbd on my ubuntu server. It is the newest version and i installed it via the apt-get. I am able to connect to the web graphical interface on my laptop. Everythings seems to work fine, until it is connected for a while. Then i am unable to connect the web interface. Also the other services as webmin, apache and the samba file server are offline. When i press a key on the ubuntu servers keyboard everything is back online. I uninstalled the sabnzbd to check if it was a memory issue. The conclusion after that was that the services were running all fine. Also when i stopped the sabnzbd service the problem was away. My question is: What is the solution to make sabnzbd accessible for always trough the network.

I already tried to install it as a unix-daemon and added the start/stop script but without succes. It could be a network problem since it is a old desktop pc which i turned into a ubuntu server.

Hope someone recognize the same problem and knows a solution.

Sounds like a system problem (is your server hibernating or so?), not a SABnzbd problem. Probably better to ask for advice on the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/

Well this is an update of my previous post. I have fixed the problem now and it was a sabnzbd fault. I came to the conclusion that i installed it trough the apt-get install sabnzbdplus. Since i saw on the wiki page of sab that running on unix as a daemon is possible. This was what i already installed. But what i did wrong was that when i start the sab daemon i used /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start. I solved this to run the ./SABnzbd.py file toghether with the .ini file in the .sabnzbd folder.
I used the follow input in the command line to start the daemon. This is what helped for me.

Specs i have on the pc:
Ubuntu Server Natty 11.10
512 MB RAM
32GB HDD

I found this page, exactly the same problem.
sabnzbd became laggy, unresponsive and couchpotatoe and sickbeard were having issues sending nzbds.

sudo apt-get remove sabnzbdplus
wget ... <- latest
/usr/local/SABnzbd-0*/SABnzbd.py -d -f /home/ME/.sabnzbd

No issues now; i think there's an issue with the ubuntu supplied version. Prior to this i removed it, deleted all files and reinstalled and after leaving it running for a couple of days, same problem. No issues with the latest installed and run manually so far.
