SOLVED: Failing to start

Postby dekthro » Fri Mar 21, 2014 4:23 pm

Sab is failing to start, and appears to just time out.

from 'systemctl status sabnzbd.service'

Code: Select all

I've checked /var/run/sabnzbd/ for the referenced PID file, and the only one there is a

Did you change the port? It defaults to 25915.

The PID file you listed is 8080. If you change the port, it must be manually changed in the service as well.

I have tested the app and works with no issues on my test machine.

As far as I know I hadn't changed anything, and that is what I had assumed as well. I checked the sabnzbd.ini file and I didn't even see it listed at all.

EDIT: Located, updated, and it is directing me back to http://localhost:25915/wizard/ when trying to access http://sabnzbdplus/

It is in the .ini file, should read:
port = 25915.
Uninstall, then before you reinstall remove the .ini file from /var/hda/files/newsgroups share. That is where it's backed up on uninstall for upgrade purposes.

Ahh that was what was messing things up. Something must have gone wrong in the settings file. Everything is peachy now, thank you, bigfoot65!

Awesome. Sorry for the inconvenience.

One day we will have a way to allow apps to selectively use backup files vs doing it automatically.

I should have looked here first................
My SAB stopped working and I thought the port was the problem, so I changed it to 8080 and now I can't get the server to start. I'll do the recommended fix shown here tonight...............

No need to delete ini file, just edit and change port. Working now.

I am having trouble accessing the config file. When I first installed sab it worked fine. I know I set it up wrong but I am unable to access file to remove my settings via putty I am running the headless server

This is a closed thread. In future, please start a new one.

You can manually edit the file. It's located in /var/hda/files/sabnzbdplus/html directory. It's called sabnzbd.ini.

The other alternative is to uninstall, then remove the backup configuration file from /var/hda/files/newsgroups, then reinstall.
