issued following win7 install

Post by apes »

sabnzbd starts ok & opens web gui. i can amend config & save ok. it reads from the watch folder & downloads fine.

however, if i close the browser tab & try & re-oen i get 'page can't be displayed'. the vista gadget, firefox addon and systray SABnzbdMonitor all fail to connect. i've tried with/without login & api - same result.

have disable kaspersky but results are the same.

any help/advice would be much appreciated.

It's quite likely that the IPV6 address [::1] is used for "localhost".
It makes little sense in todays network world, but that's what Vista and Win7 do.
Go to the Config->General tab and set the host address to 127.0.0.1
and use that address for everything related to SABnzbd.
The alternative is to modify the hosts file and tell Windows that localhost is 127.0.01 and not [::1].
