Start wizard keeps repeating......

Post by MIkey0124 »

OKay this is really frustrating me!    I just reinstalled my sysytem with Win 7 32bit and tryed installing Sabnzdb which seems to have installed just fine but it starts up with the start up wizard!    After I complete the start up wizard and goto http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ it just brings me back to the start up wizard all over again.......  I have been doing some reading throughout the forum and seen that other users have had the same problem......I have tryed reinstalling the program and nothing seems to help......!    I had Sabnzbd running on my win 7 system good with no problems until I reinstaled everything now!    Please if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks.....

This only occurs when for some reason, SABnzbd cannot write the sabnzbd.ini file to
the default location.
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini

Check if there is a file in that location.
If all else fails, start SABnzbd like this instead:
"c:\program files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -f d:\folder
Where d:\folder is any folder that suits you.
If this works, you should start SABnzbd like this always (you may change the shortcut).

Should this still not work, use this as a diagnostic aid:
"c:\program files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd-console.exe" -f d:\folder

When you use SABnzbd-console.exe do you see any suspicious messages?
You can scroll back the console window.
