Starting for another user

Post by 3DPiper »

When I went to open SABNzbd, it started the wizard. Upon looking at the configuration it is starting for another user.
How do I point everything back to my normal folder with the sabnzbd.ini? It is all still there. I can't seem to edit the default base folder etc.

If you cannot change the running user, then:
  • Quit SABnzbd completely
  • Copy the entire contents of the old sabnzbd folder (containing sabnzbd.ini, admin/, logs/...) into the current user's configuration folder
  • Open SABnzbd again → It will automatically recognize the configuration
