[Linux] Error with watched_data.sab failing

Post by benharvey1985 »

Hello and first of all thanks for the great software, been using it for a while on windows but having set up a new HTPC built on a custom Ubuntu build i am having problems.

i have managed to get sabnzbd+ to run on boot and it will download what i tell it, and i can access the web interface. But a warning keeps coming up and was wondering if anybody could shed some light on it.

Code: Select all

2009-11-28 16:18:05,332 ERROR [sabnzbd] Saving /home/htpc/.sabnzbd/cache/watched_data.sab failed
any help would be happily recieved.

All the obvious questions:
Does the folder "/home/htpc/.sabnzbd/cache/" exist?
Does SABnzbd have rights there?
Is there alread a file called watched_data.sab that has access rights that lock out SABNzbd?
Have you restarted SABnzbd since the problem and does it keep returning?
Make sure SABnzbd owns the cache folder and the files in it.

thanks for the quick reply, i changed the location to save the files and it seemed to work now as the error has now gone, think it was a permissions issue.
