I'm kinda new to these forums (i.e. first post) and I'm not sure if this has been covered before.
I've had issues with starting and restarting Sabnzbd+ since day dot. This is partly my fault, as I forgot to change the daemon config file for Sabnzbd+. Tonight (its AM over here in AUS
) I decided I would fix it, once and for all, so I sat down to solve it. The original issue was that I didn't place the correct IP address and port into the config file. With this rectified, I ran into the next problem:1) The current user:pass@ipaddress format does not like brackets.
If your password has a ")" in it, then the daemon script will scream when you try to shut down Sabnzbd+. It complains of an un-escaped character, which is true. So, I changed my password to suit. The next problem occurs:
2) The daemon will not start if you try to pass it a URL in the form of user:pass@ipaddress.
IDK why, but the daemon script says it started fine, there is a daemon file (/var/run/daemons/sabnzbd) but no web image at all. Even from local host. The way to fix this is to remove the user:pass@ipaddress on startup.
This however isn't incorporated into the given scripts (both the daemon script and the config script). As such, I took some poetic license and changed them to work myself. It was a relatively simple and effective fix, and it doesn't change very much at all. Attached to this post is the two files I changed (personal information removed). The conf.d file has 2 added parameters: SABNZBD_USERID (your Sabnzbd+ username) and SABNZBD_PASS (password). The rc.d file has an added comparison to see if the username is NULL. If this is so, we need to use a different URL (remove a ":" and an "@" ). If anyone has any questions, I've subscribed to this thread.
