2 accounts on the same host

Post by walker »

Hi there,

Not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but I would like to use 2 accounts on the same ssl host. But it looks like that isn't possible with sabnzbd. Is that right?
I'm using 0.4.0 (final) on linux (centOS 5).

Greetings,
Walker

The problem is that SABnzbd will not accept two identical hosts on the same port.
The reason is that SABnzbd has no way to distinguish say MYHOST:119 and MYHOST:119.

There are some work arounds.
- Use a different port, some news providers have multiple SSL ports available
- Use the numerical IP address for one of the server definitions.

Just ping to the provider to see what numerical IP it uses.

Indeed, using the ip did the trick (in my case).

Maybe it's an idea to use an alias (or something) as the unique identifier and not the servername?
However, great program!

It's a bit of a rare problem, isn't it?
Not many users will encounter this...
