Windows 7 64 bit Problem

[ryannaut]

Trying to install 0.6.1:

upon install and trying to run it gives me this:

SABnzbd needs a valid host address for its internal web server, you have specified an invalid address, Safe values are localhost and 0.0.0.0, Please restart SABnzbd with a proper host address., Press Startkey+R and type the line (example): >: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server localhost:8080, Program did not start!

Tried to  Press Startkey+R and type the line (example): >: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server localhost:8080  and it just gives me the same result.

i've looked at the newly created sabnzbd.ini file and there's only 3 lines of code on it.  How do i resolve this issue...?  I just uninstalled and reinstalled everything with the same result.  I'm running windows 7 64 bit

Can you post the contents of the sabnzbd.ini?

Do you use firewall software on your system? If so, does it help when you turn that software off?

[shypike]

Your DNS service doesn't know what "localhost" is.
Why, I don't know, but it should.
Try 127.0.0.1:8080 instead.

Another possibility is that you have some software firewall
that thinks it's necessary to block "localhost" services.
(The Windows Firewall handles this properly.)

Here's the entire contents of my sabnzdb.ini file:

__version__=19
[misc]
[logging]


I turned off all firewalls and had the same result...

As for trying 127.0.0.1:8080... How do i do this?  I'm very new at this whole scene and need dumbed down instructions!  Thanks again!


Maybe someone with a working version can post the contents of their sabnzdb.ini file and I can try that (replacing the IP and such)

You almost were there

Tried to  Press Startkey+R and type the line (example): >: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server 127.0.0.1:8080
