episode butler - Error connecting to sabnzbd

[AndrewW]

Hey guys,

I've just started using SABnzbd, and I love it

I've been racking my brains trying to get episode butler to work.

I'm running Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and have both sabnzbd and episode butler running locally on the same machine.

Everything is configured with default values.

I have the following entries in my episode butler configuration file:

Code: Select all

sabnzbd               = on
sabnzbd.host          = localhost
sabnzbd.port          = 8080
sabnzbd.rootDir       = sabnzbd
sabnzbd.username      = 
sabnzbd.password      = 
sabnzbd.useReportId   = no
sabnzbd.activeness    = 3
sabnzbd.apikey = (hidden, but it is correctly set to my API key)

I noticed that localhost resolves to :1 (got to love IPv6), and I've trued host values of 127.0.0.1 and the windows computer name for my PC with no luck.

I tried disabling IPv6 on my pc, and although this allowed me to ping localhost and I could see it resolve to 127.0.0.1, it seemed to break sabnzbd.

I'm pulling my hair out here, it really shouldn't be this hard.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

typical, figured it out....

also had to remove the following line from C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Code: Select all

::1 localhost

All working perfectly now.
