SABnzbd-0.4.12 not working after trying 0.5.2

[ghostcorps]

Hi Guys,

I have tried to install 0.5.2 on my Freebsd machine with no luck. I have not given up but I figure I should re-enable my old installation in the mean-time. However, with 0.4.12 I get the following error:

Code: Select all

#SABnzbd.py -d
Sorry, requires Python module Cheetah 2.0rc7 or higher.

Which is odd because 0.5.2, while still failing, gets further than the Cheetah check.

As soon as 5.0.2 didn't work, I reinstalled 0.4.12 and this error came up, so I moved ahead with the upgrade to 0.5.2. I have since gotten frustrated enough with the upgrade that I am happy to move back for the time being, but now I'm stuck with neither!

What would have been changed from simply running the startup script?


Thanks guys

Did you somehow mix modules from both versions?
Remove SABnzbd completely before installing it again.

Thanks

I'm not sure how they could have mixed modules as I needed to use entirely different installation methods for the different versions. Regarding uninstalation, i only really have one option...


I installed 0.4.12 through the Freebsd ports system by running 'make install clean' in the ports folder and I uninstall it with 'make deinstall clean'.

As 0.5.2 is not in the Freebsd 7.0 Stable port tree, I downloaded the source and installed it as per the readme, with a couple path changes to bring it in line with the directory structure in Freebsd: I use  /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin and /usr/src instead of /usr/bin/src.


Perhaps I am taking a 'too simplistic' approach?

You need to preserve the directory structure.
Especially, do not move SABnzbd.py to another location.
The best way is to unpack the tar.gz file into a folder in /usr/bin/src.
If you want to have it in the path, create a simple script in /usr/bin.

Thanks,

But thats just it, there is no directory '/usr/bin/src' in Freebsd it is just '/usr/src'. What if I just make a new directory '/usr/bin/src' and symlink the directory SABnzbd into it?

[ghostcorps]

Nevermind... I've decided it's time to upgrade to Freebsd 8.0, hopefully I will have more luck with that.

Thanks for your time so far.

Be well

You can put the SABnzbd folder anywhere.
The essential part is to preserve the sub-folder structure.
Using a symlink to SABnzbd.py will not work, because the program
will think it is in the wrong location.
You need to use a wrapper script.
