Sabnzbd command line help. Starting the server.

Post by Slagazor »

I have Sabnzbd up and running on my Ubuntu box. I'm currently using a windows box as my main workstation so I SSH over into Ubuntu, when I execute the sabnzbd from the command line it seems to try and run in the command line instead of starting the web interface which I access remote http://192.168.1.110:8080

If i VNC into the ubuntu box and open a shell and run sabnzbd from there it opens the web version etc.

So my question is how do I execute sabnzbd from my windows box over SSL so it will appear as if I were executing it on the native machine?

Hope this made sense?

Thx.

When you start SABnzbd from an SSH session,
make sure you start it in daemon mode.
./SABnzbd.py -d -f /path/to/sabnzbd.ini

If you start it now, it will ask the Ubuntu what the default Web browser is.
Ubuntu will answer: Lynx (because you're on a SSH terminal session).

SABnzbd can never start a web browser on your Windows box.

It's better to make SABnzbd start automatically on the Ubuntu box.

I tried that command and well as far as I can tell the server never started, no error just a return to the command prompt.
