No UNRAR program found

[anothernickname]

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I've read over the FAQ, googled, and searched the support forum without finding any results.

Yesterday I installed sabnzbd 0.5.4 from the debian squeeze repository, and have it running as a daemon using the /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus script that's provided in the package. Everything seems to work fine, except for a big fat red "No UNRAR program found, unpacking RAR files is not possible" message on the UI's main page, and repeated errors in the log to the effect of:

Code: Select all

ERROR:
Error "[Errno 2] No such file or directory" while running rar_unpack on blah

I do have unrar installed (from the debian squeeze nonfree repo) in /usr/bin/runrar. Permissions seem right, I can run it as a normal user, and I can unrar archives I create with winrar on another machine.

I'm assuming unrar just needs to be somewhere else so sabnzbd can locate it? Can someone clue me where that might be, so I can simlink to it?

Thanks!

The program's log file can tell, it looks for and log all helper programs it finds on startup. Might be some path issue, although init scripts would normally automatically be supplied with a proper path including at least /usr/bin and /bin. Also, the output of 'ls -la `which unrar`' and the output of 'unrar | head -n5' could be helpful.
