Segmentation fault - dd-wrt and SABnzbdplus

[alfi99]

I get a segmentation fault, when I try to use a web browser from the WAN over the Internet to access SABnzbd.

My set up is:
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/21/09) mega

root@DD-WRT:/# ipkg status sabnzbdplus
Package: sabnzbdplus
Version: 0.5.3-1
Depends: py25-cheetah, py25-yenc, par2cmdline
Conflicts: py24-sabnzbd, py25-sabnzbd
Status: install user installed
Architecture: mipsel
Installed-Time: 1283718642

I use optware installed on a connected USB drive.

Yesterday I managed to access from the LAN side, and got the wizard. However when trying to connect from the WAN I get the segmentation fault and SABnzbd shuts down.

I have edited the .ini file to listen on port 8082 and added this port to the iptables.

Then just for the fun of it I tried to use the this "http://HOSTADDRESS:PORT/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown&ma_username=USER&ma_password=PASSWORD&apikey=ENTERAPIKEYHERE"
and managed to shut it down.

This would indicate that there is some sort of contact, which the segmentation fault also indicates.

I have looked at the logs, but the sabnzbd.error.log is empty and the sabnzbd.log is only showing startup and shutdown.

HELP!

I'm sorry, there's no way we can support this.
SABnzbd is pure Python, so any segmentation fault is likely the result
of problems in the run-time libraries.
Do keep in mind that SABnzbd does use quite a bit of memory.
Anything below 256M (total system memory) is a challenge.

Well I like challenges, so any suggestions?

I have been able to replicate the error, numerous times.

I go through the Wizard and then next time I try to log in through the web browser I get the segmentation fault.
I can then delete the .ini file that was updated during the Wizard and then I can again go through the Wizard.

I know too little about SABnzbd to know which settings could cause this, but I am willing to try and update the .ini file without the Wizard and see if that will help.

Did you select SSL anywhere (either https for the internal webserver or SSL for the Usenet connection)?
It's the prime candidate.
Normally I would suspect yEnc., but at the the point it crashes on your box it isn't active yet.

[alfi99]

I did not choose SSL, I wanted to on my news provider, however when testing the connection with SSL active, it timed out.

I then set it to "normal" 119.

I only use the normal HTTP.

How about the runtime libraries, which you mentioned in your first post, should I try and reinstall the python libs?

[alfi99]

Should I try and go with the "normal" sabnzbd, instead of the sabnzbdplus?

I have 2 versions, py24-sabnzbd 0.2.5.2 and py25 sabnzbd 0.2.5.2?

Are they older versions or what is the main difference between these and the sabnzbdplus 0.5.3.1?

[shypike]

0.2.5 is ancient.
Few features, large amount of annoying bugs, difficult to set up.
