Browser won't load!

[Mirrage]

Hi guys,

I got a problem with my sabnzbd, if I start the program.. the internet browser opens but the page stays white for about 5 minutes, then it gets an error that the page couldn't be found. Sabnzbd is running as I see that in Task manager/processes.

I turned my NOD32 off, and also the internet monitoring system with that port 8080 issue.. tried to open port 8080 on my router, windows firewall but no luck!
Tried a other port like 8081 too..

Im using:
Windows XP, SP3
Linksys WAG200G-EU router
Sabnzbd 0.4.6

If you have any suggestions, it would be much appreciated!

Try these on the same computer:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd
http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd

There's no need to change anything in the router or the Windows firewall.
All web-ui traffic stays inside.

It could be that there's something wrong in your host file.
Try starting SABnzbd like this (modify the shortcut).

SABnzbd.exe -s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1

It could be that you need another port than 8080, I saw one warning in the cherrypy.log:

Code: Select all

HTTP INFO Port 8080 not free on 'localhost'

Possibly caused by starting SABnzbd twice.

Or maybe the OP is using a proxy server, even for his 127.0.0.1 address.

A hard-core technical check, which the OP can surely handle as he is an xs4all csutomer ;-) is this:

Code: Select all

telnet 127.0.0.1 8080

and if/when he gets a response, then type something like:

Code: Select all

GET /

and see what response he gets.
This test will circumvent windows settings, virus scanner, proxy settings, etc, etc. I've seen that ugly virusscanners like McAfee can block web traffic too, especially IPv6 traffic.

Thnx guys! this post helped me, i've putted "-s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1" behind "SABnzbd.exe" in the
shortcut and now when I go to: http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd the browser loads!

thanks again for the fast respond and I hope to be helpfull for someone someday too!

Strange.

Can you

Code: Select all

ping localhost

If not, what's the content of C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts? Does it have an entry for localhost like below:

Code: Select all

C:\>type \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:

127.0.0.1       localhost
