Hoping for some help. Last night I signed up for Usenet (Astraweb) and followed the Lifehacker/How to Geek posts on how to get up and running on Ubuntu 12.04. All great - worked a treat.
There seemed to be a memory loss going on and I lost control over the taskbars, so rebooted.
Now Chrome says "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost:8080"
The Chrome extnsion SABnzbd extension says "Could not connect to SABnzbd - Check it is running, the details in this plugin's settings are correct and that you are running at least SABnzbd version 0.5!"
SABnzbd and SABnzbd Drop settings URL = http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd (unchanged)
I ran Netstat - Port 139 is open.
Astraweb uses port 119
Have tried the /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus and .sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini files but am lost.
Tried uninstall/reinstall
Tried reboot again
STILL no joy.
Thanks in advance!!
Died after reboot

Re: Died after reboot
For a start, just type "sabnzbdplus<ENTER" on the command line. That should start SAB and make the webinterface available again.
Re: Died after reboot
Thanks!! a lot better but it is now complaining about an incorrect API key in the command line. (Browser retained all previous data)
Re: Died after reboot
Edited the .ini file, entered API and away we go!! YAY!! thanks VERY much. Will it survive a reboot? (Perhaps it had to do with Chrome 'crashing' rather than stopping when I hit reboot?)
Re: Died after reboot
If you only start it from the commandline with 'sabnzbdplus', it will not start automatically after a reboot.grumblenz wrote:Edited the .ini file, entered API and away we go!! YAY!! thanks VERY much.

If you want SAB to start automatically, read http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntu-repo :
That's it. It's so easy.If you want the program to be started as a service (i.e., in the background on system boot), you will need to edit (as root) the file /etc/default/sabnzbdplus and set the "USER=" to the appropriate setting.
