You might try launching SABnzbd with the username you want to run SABnzbd as.
If your username is 'pi', then:
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl start sabnzbd@pi.service
To check:
Code: Select all
sudo systemctl status sabnzbd@pi.service

I tried the solution justgosh suggested, but that are exactly the steps I took to install SABnzbd+. The only difference here, is that I can't run
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/nobetas or
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/sab-addons but this is not my problem since no-one with a Raspberry Pi can run add-apt-repository.

Nope, this user is using the normal init.d script.
TS: see if there's anything useful in the program log files (under .sabnzbd/logs/ in the home dir of the configured user). Might also want to post your /etc/default/sabnzbdplus, and check (sudo netstat -lntep) there's nothing else on the port for sabnzbd (defaults to 8080).
