Installing SABnzbd without Privileges

Post by urbanyeti »

I'm trying to install SABnzbd on a Debian virtual machine that I rent, but unfortunately I don't have admin access. I've unpacked the source files to my home directory but I get an SSL error when I run SABnzbd.py and I can't connect to the page remotely. I believe the problems are because I don't have all the proper modules installed but I am unsure how to install them and get them recognized without root privileges. Does anyone have any ideas for a possible work around?

Thanks!

You should not need admin rights to run SABnzbd, as long as you don't
use a port below 1024 for the internal webserver.
Try without SSL, just to test.

Are you perhaps running a software firewall that needs adjusting for SABnzbd?
