Sabnzbd is not recognizing nzb file in watch folder

[daniela_waranie]

Hi all,

i am very new to sabnzbd. I got sabnzbd 0.6.9 working on a QNAP 412 yesterday - installed via QPNG package.

Today it tried the same for on a QNAP 209 Pro II - installed via a QPKG package, too. But on the QNAP 209 Pro II sabnzbd is not recognizing the nzb files i drop to the watch folder. File content is not added to the download queue and nzb file is not moved to the backup dir.

Folder [...]sabnnzbd/nzb and all subfolders and files in it have the owner "guest" and the group "everybody" with 777 permission.

How to check what´s wrong with sabnzbd or with the qnap 209 Pro II?

Have you tried uploading the same NZB through the Web UI?
If that works, then there is something wrong with the access rights.
If not, check if it's a real NZB.

The nzb file works if i upload it via web ui. Therefore i think the NZB file is okay. Permissions are as written above. Is there a log file where i can see, that scanning the watch folder was triggered or if sabnzbd has a problem reading the dir?

[shypike]

Yes, create an empty NZB file.
Content:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.0//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.0.dtd">
<nzb xmlns="http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/2003/nzb">
</nzb>

If SABnzbd reads the file, should show a warning.

Have you filled out something that is understood by SAB where it is running? To check, execute the two commands below.

@shypike:
It seams that a restart of the QNAP 209 Pro II solved the issue. Now it is working. Thanks for your help.
