SABnzbd Forums

I know this is a common question..

I am getting the error

"SABnzbd.exe 0.6.10
SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 8082 on 192.168.2.4 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):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server 192.168.2.4:8083
If you get this error message again, please try a different number.
Program did not start!"

I have tried running the program from command line like it suggests
above, but I get the same error with a new port number to try..

Could this be a router issue? I recently updated my router, but I swear
SABnzbd worked fine for awhile after that..

I am looking at the log it created, but I don't know what I am looking at..
Below is the log:

Apparently you told SABnzbd to use IP address 192.168.2.4 and port number 8082.
Is this the IP address of your system?
If not start SABnzbd like this:
Press Startkey+R and type the line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server localhost:8080
