SAB ignoreing host setting in conf [solved]

[whytewolf]

Version: 0.7.1
OS: CentOS 6.2
Install-type: Sab repo
Skin (if applicable): NA
Firewall Software: iptables
Are you using IPV6? yes

I'm having an issue with 0.7.0 and 0.7.1. once I updated to these versions my host setting is compleatly ignored. 0.7.0 ignored only the ipv6 addresses. 0.7.1 ignores all address. the only addresses SABnzb starts on are 0.0.0.0 and ::1. I don't mind 0.0.0.0 however as I want to use this through my ipv6 network ::1 is problematic.

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13182/python
tcp 0 0 ::1:8080 :::* LISTEN 13182/python

this is true no matter what i put in the host setting. either through the interface or directly in the conf file.

this is the host line in my current config file

host = 192.168.1.140

I don't mind 0.0.0.0 however as I want to use this through my ipv6 network ::1 is problematic.

Why is ::1 problematic?
You say that your host address is 192.158.1.140, is this IP address correct?
SABnzbd will only use 0.0.0.0 if you tell it to or when the host address is incorrect (if detectable).
Is SABnzbd reading the ini file that you expect (you can see in the Config main page).

[whytewolf]

::1 is the loopback address in ipv6 not a global address, my primary goal is setting up on ipv6. as for the ip. yes it is the correct ip. I have also tried the local host. the ip is correct. I have updated it several times to a few of the servers ip addresses. copied directly out of ifconfig. and yes, the Config file i expect to be read is being read.

[sander]

So what happens if you specify "::" as the host address? What does SABnzbd spit out on the command line?

Here's the output of SABnzbd with :: on Linux:

You can suppress ::1 by starting once with --no_ipv6
Or set "no_ipv6" in Config->Special and restart.

I believe the OP wants to use IPv6 ... which is a good thing ...

I tried many iterations of "::" like i said in the header. it's like SAB is just ignoring the host field, in the conf file. everything else seems to work fine. username, password, nntp server settings.

It looks like 0.7.x has a new function "ipv_localhost(v)", which is used at the beginning of get_webhost() and can have the effect of rewriting the host 'cherryhost'.

I played with this function, and with :: on input, cherryhost is emptied:

Code: Select all

get_webhost stuff:
The value of cherryhost on input is: ::
[(2, 1, 6, '', ('127.0.0.1', 0)), (2, 2, 17, '', ('127.0.0.1', 0)), (2, 3, 0, '', ('127.0.0.1', 0))]
item is: 127.0.0.1
item is: 127.0.0.1
item is: 127.0.0.1
The value of cherryhost on exit is: 

As my machine does listen on ::, apparantly somewhere else it must become :: again>?

I don't really understand the goal of the extra function, so I'll leave that to shypike.

[shypike]

I don't really understand the goal of the extra function.

It is to prevent binding to ::1 in systems that don't properly support it.

I don't really understand the goal of the extra function.

It is to prevent binding to ::1 in systems that don't properly support it.

The snippet I posted: is that correct behaviour? Because the input is "::" (not ::1), and the result is empty.

[shypike]

What is :: supposed to mean?

[sander]

What is :: supposed to mean?

Serious?

:: is the IPv6 equivalent of 0.0.0.0. So with :: will listen to all incoming connections. On Linux that is IPv4 and IPv6.

Or do you mean :: can never get there? I will try in SABnzbd.py ...

[shypike]

I'm not really awake after staying up too long yesterday.
I'll look into it.

I think it's better to stop using localhost by default and go for the safer 127.0.0.1
Simultaneous binding to both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 gives problems on too many
(probably badly configured) systems.

get_webhost() is an "interesting" read ... to me it looks like a lot of juggling with the value of cherryhost based on a lot of parameters. I suppose that's based on the experience with a lot of different setups?

Maybe some logging what happens to cherryhost would be useful?

I've put a few lines "logging.info('cherryhost is %s', cherryhost)" into SABnzbd.py (trying to get clear how cherrypost is hanldled), but the nothing appears in sabnzbd.log. :-(
If I use logging.error it only appears in the error log of the SABnzbd GUI.

Am I doing something wrong?

[shypike]

Am I doing something wrong?

I don't think logging is active at that moment.
You probably need to use simple print statements.
