Viewing SABnzbd interface from another computer

[bugmenot]

Hi,

I read in the FAQ http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/faq#toc4 how to do this.
It not only didn't work I can't view the website on the local machine now either.

Now what?  I guess I have to vi a config file somewhere?  Which file?  What line and operand in said file?

Any advice, uh-ohs or things I should be aware of?  My host machine does NOT have a firewall if that helps.

Help1!

In the future please post the details listed in this thread so we can help you quicker: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=44.0 We have to support machines on multiple operating systems so knowing what you are running really helps us.

If you are on windows xp (not vista), close sabnzbd.exe from the task manager, then Start>Run and enter:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s 0.0.0.0:8080

Remote access should now work as well as localhost.

If you are on vista, enter

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s localhost:8080

Remote access won't work, but at least you can access localhost again.

If you are on linux, edit your sabnzbd.ini in ~/.sabnzbd/

If you are on mac see here.

If you are editing sabnzbd.ini you need to change:

Code: Select all

host =

to

Code: Select all

host = localhost

Hi,

I am sorry I didn't mention which platform I am on(Ubuntu 8.10) and I never thought of it until I was out and about.

You advice fixed my problem so I can now access it from the local machine.  Any advice on how to make SAB allow any machine on my LAN access the web component?

Thanks again,

Use 0.0.0.0 as host address.

Thanks.  It worked once I added it via vi not the web interface(didn't like it).
Just so you devs know.

Cheers

The web-interface will accept it, but it will only become active
after you restart SABnzbd.
