Can not login remotely

Post by BadHorse »

Version: (Ex: 0.4.4)
OS: OSX 10.5.5
Install-type: OSx .app
Skin Plush (iphone as second skin)
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

I installed yesterday evening for the first time.  Everything is fine on my local machine and I am excited to begin.  What I am excited about is the ability to enable downloads to begin from afar simply.  So far though I have been unable to connect via my iphone or my work machine.

Here is what I have done.

I am using a linksys router that is already using port 8080 for remote access.  I changed the config file to use port 7878.  I then forwarded this port on the router to the machine running the app.

When I try to connect I get a blank page.  The page does seem to load. 
I have played around extensively with the host field.  I have tried leaving it blank, using 0.0.0.0, 192.168.1.101 (local machine ip).

Have I missed anything?  Any trouble shooting tips?

I should mention that I have enabled a login and password.  I have also tried connecting to ip:7878 and ip:7878/sabnzbd/m/ with no luck.

TIA

No - I should have made it more clear.

192.168.1.101:7878 works just fine.

Connecting via the external ip:7878 or external ip:7878/sabnzbd/m/ do not work.

Doh!  I just connected using your external link above.. updated obviously.  I was connecting to externalip:7878 alone.  I was not trying externalip:7878/sabnzbd

Did I miss this instruction somewhere?

Thank you switch!!
