SAB won't launch on Mac OSX

Post by aquaboy »

Hi everyone.

I've just done a clean install of the new OSX and installed SABNZBD 0.7.20... The setup wizard ran fine but at the end when the restart takes place, the app just launches and shuts down again instantly.

I've tried deleting the reinstalling but with no joy...

Any ideas?

Likely some DNS setup problem.
If you don't need external access, open Utilities->Terminal and type:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server 127.0.0.1:8080
Enter
When it starts up, shutdown again from the UI.
After that it should start normally.
