I just tried the beta and I am getting this error.
Welcome to SABnzbd.py 0.5.0Beta5

    SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
    Port 563 on ssl-us.astraweb.com 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 ssl-us.astraweb.com:564

    If you get this error message again, please try a different number.
Program did not start!

I did what the message said and it gave me the same error with the different port. How do I find out what is assigned and where so I can kick that program off the port.

Thanks for any help!

You screwed up your configuration by entering your news server's information (ssl-us.astraweb.com) where you should have entered your sabnzbd host information.

Run it as:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server localhost:8080

Thank you that has seemed to clean it out, but now it is asking for a user and password. When I enter my user/password for the news server it wont take it. Any ideas on the cause of this?

Find the file /home/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Open it with TextEdit.
Find the
username =
and
password =
lines and remove them.

Or just delete the file and enter your settings again with the Wizard.
