Starting SABnzbd via service/init.d refuses all connections

[hoylemd]

Hey folks,

I installed sabnsbd on my ubuntu 15.xx server a little while ago, and I set it up to only listen to localhost:8000, so it goes behind nginx. The problem is, it refuses all connections there, even when I `curl localhost:8000` locally. I tried running `/usr/bin/sabnzbdplus` directly, and it works perfectly, but I don't understand why the connection is refused from nginx.

The best theory I have is that the daemon run by init.d is run under the sabnzbd user, but when I run it in the foreground it'd be run under my user. I'm not sure how that would result in rejecting all connections though, much less how to fix it.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If you need to see any config files or anything, please tell me how to find them, as I'm quite new to this package.

How did you setup redirection in nginx?

I found the problem!

The issue was that I hadn't gone through the wizard. I had done it when I ran sabnzbd in the foreground as my user, but I guess that didn't save the options in the same place as the daemonized version.

I just had to hit <domain>:8000/wizard/ (I think the default port is 8080) in my browser, and all's good.
