just downloaded Sabnzbd, it won't start up at all

Post by oksokol »

Hello, I just downloaded Sabnzbd for the first time and have had absolutely no success in getting it to run.

Version: Whatever the most recent download for mac is as of this morning
OS: OSX 10.5.8
Install-type: OSX app file
Skin (if applicable): ?
Firewall Software: No idea, I haven't consciously set up any firewall.
Are you using IPV6? (yes/no - most likely no) no idea
Is the issue reproducible? (yes/no) Yes

Whenever I try to open the program, it just doesn't do anything. If I look at it in the task manager, a task briefly starts up and then goes away after a second or two. I've also come up against "failed to connect" notices from Chrome and Firefox whenever I try to load it up in my web browser through http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd. I have googled all over the place and have no idea what to do. Help!

You downloaded the wrong DMG.
Make sure you have the "leopard" DMG,
