Can't access web GUI

Post by jimmybobrowe »

So I changed the host address from "localhost" to the IP address of the mediaserver its installed on. Now the webpage says it can't reach this page, and I can't find which script I need to edit to change it back. I've since read I should of changed it to 0.0.0.0.

Please help!

On a side note, SabdroidEx (Android app) couldn't access Sabnzbd when I had it set to "localhost" which is normal; BUT NOW it can access all the Sabnzbd information after changing the IP address.

Assuming Windows.
You need console (or remote desktop) access to the system.
When SABnzbd runs: find its taskbar icon, right mouse-click, select "Restart - 127.0.0.1".
Wait for SABnzbd's UI to open, then adjust settings in Config->General.

When SABnzbd doesn't run: open a CMD window and type (including quotes)

Code: Select all

"c:\program files\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.exe" --server 0.0.0.0:8080
or for 64 bit:

Code: Select all

"c:\program files (x86)\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.exe" --server 0.0.0.0:8080
Enter
