Remote Web Interface

Post by avmadness »

Hi guys just a quick question I'm hoping you can quickly solve for me! I've been using sabnzbd for a couple of weeks now after using grabit for years and gotta say I love it!! Problem I have is that when you setup sabnzbd they give you a screen which gives you the http address details for accessing the remote web interface from another computer, I made a screen print of this page but i now can't find it anywhere.

How is it you access the remote web interface? I can't find details on what address to type into my browser anywhere!!

Any idea's guys???

Many Thanks

Start SABnzbd, go to http://localhost:8080/config/general/, and then at "SABnzbd Host" fill out 0.0.0.0 (or ::), click on Save Changes, and then Restart SABnzbd.

You can then access SABnzbd from other devices on your LAN.

If you want to access SABnzbd from Internet, you probably have to setup port forwarding in your modem/NAT-devices. See http://portforward.com/ for help how to do that on your modem.
(If you use IPv6, you can access SAB without need for port forwarding)

Hey there mate thankyou for your speedy reply :) can't beleive I'd overlooked the Host bit!! Popped in my servers IP and were up and running straight away on my LAN from another computer. Now when it comes to connecting to SABnzbd outside of my LAN what address would i type into the URL address bar? (as obviously the http://localhost:8080 aint gonna work!) I have my server setup with a dynamic DNS address for my FTP server so I've tried myserver.dyndns.org:8080 and that's not worked I've also tried my external IP address but that hasn't worked either.....Any ideas??

Much Appreciated!!!

Scratch that!! It DID work :D Internet Explorer didn't like it but both my external password and my dyndns address with :8080 at the end of it gain me access to the webinterface remotely via google chrome....Happy days :D
