Running SABnzbd in daemon mode on D-Link DNS-323

[DLXXX]

Version: Ex: 0.4.11
OS: Debian Etch (fun_plug)
Install-type: python source
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

I'm a Linux newbee, so please speak slowly ;-)

- I run Debian Etch under fun_plug on a DNS-323 NAS
- I have installed SABnzbd 0.4.11 by using the python source with the help of a friend
- I run SABnzbd with following command: ./SABnzbd.py
- The script shows a lot of lines and stops at the line : 31/May/2009:19:21:34 HTTP INFO Serving HTTP on http://localhost:8080/
- I go to the browser and it doesnt work
- No other server is active on port 8080.
- When I run it with ./SABnzbd.py -d it also doesn't work

Thanx for your input

Does http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ work?

Also, try launching it like so:

Code: Select all

./SABnzbd.py -d -f ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

YAY 

I killed the current daemon process and started it with your command line: ./SABnzbd.py -d -f ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Now it works.

Can you explain why it works this way?
It just uses a different ini, but I never even changed the ini yet!

It's simply the magic required to run a Linux daemon.
I cannot really explain, it's the standard way to do things on Linux.
It involves manipulating I/O streams and forking a child process.
It's all in the source code (SABnzbd.py), if you're interested.

OK, thanx, I though that the instructions said that it would pull the .ini from the same folder you started your script in.
Apparantly that's not the case, since the ini was there...

Thanx for your help!

Can anyone tell me what the options -d and -f stand for?

Cheers!
