Port Issues

[Eclipse]

Hi,

I have an issue with SABnzbd+ for Mac. I am running Snow Leopard and SABnzbd version 0.5.0 beta1.

Everytime I open the program, I get the error message:

Welcome to SABnzbd.py 0.4.12

SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 8080 on localhost was tried , but it is not available.
Some other software uses the port or SABnzbd is already running.

Please restart SABnzbd with a different port number.

Open a Terminal window and type the line (example):
    /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server localhost:8081

If you get this error message again, please try a different number.

Program did not start!

I change the port, either in the .ini file or in Terminal with the suggested code, but I get the same error message for the new port. It does not matter which port I use, I get the same error message. In the logs, it just says that the program failed to start on the port number I tried.

I do not have an additional anti-virus or firewall, I have tried disabling the OS firewall with no luck. I have tried deleting the program as well as the hidden folder with my preferences, made no difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have two versions of SABnzbd installed?
You claim you are using release 0.5.0Beta1, but the error message says: "Welcome to SABnzbd.py 0.4.12".

Thank you for the reply. I noticed this, however I only have one SABnzbd+ application in my folder. I also looked on google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q= ... .5.0+Beta1 and it has Download SABnzbd 0.5.0 Beta 1 / 0.4.12, so I presumed they are the same. When I go on the download page of this site, it has the 0.4.12 download...

If I have got something wrong please let me know...

I did have 0.4.12 installed, the download link on the homepage takes you to 0.4.12 by default, did not realise you have to change it. I have installed 0.5.0 Beta 1 and I still have the same issue. However, at the top I get a downarrow now, which does not work as it has a loading icon permanently on it. I wonder what I have to do to get this working

Please could you re-explain your issue in detail now that you are running 0.5b1.

Sorry I should have been more clear.

Everytime I open SABnzbd+ in my applications folder, I get a webpage comes up that says my port is in use. I change the port to a new port number either by changing the .ini file or in console and I get the same webpage for the new port number. I have tried loads of different ports, the same story. I have disabled the firewall, completely uninstalled SABnzbd (including hidden files) and I still get the same problem.

Any help would be great

Are the ports you are trying over 1024?
What hostnames have you tried?

In SABnzbd 0.5, if a port is found in use it should try a few different ports in 5 port intervals (eg 8080 then 8085, 8090, 8095).

If it does not work with any port, then it is likely your system is miss-configured somehow, or an application is still blocking it.

I would try the following hosts with a port such as 8085 to see if listening on that host is blocked:
-s 0.0.0.0:8085 (then try http://localhost:8085/)
-s :8085 (then try http://YOURLOCALIPADDRESS:8085/)

Thank you Switch, I got it working on my local ip port 8085. Changed the port to 8080 and it works fine. The moment I go back to localhost, it does not like it, not sure why .

A suitable solution until I reformat, unless anyone has any ideas on how I can revert back to localhost?

Thanks again!
