Had Sad working perfectly for a few months, now it is not working. Originally had it pointed towards my mac's ip so that i could interact with it on all computers in my home network. I noticed that my computer that housed sab has had its ip changed to 192.168.0.100, seems strange so restarted computer and still the same. At that point i was unable to access sab, which was pointed towards 192.168.0.101. I uninstalled and reinstalled and although i can get sab to install, it no longer opens a browser window to the default localhost ip, and 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101 do not work. Essentially i cannot get a view into sab to reconfigure. I have tried installing and reinstalling several times, but no luck.
What went wrong and how can i fix it?
Thanks

Find and open ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Change the host to either blank or 0.0.0.0

Cannot locate that file in OSX, tried looking via terminal
Re: Need Help Sab stopped working all of a sudden
The folder will be hidden, but I can't remember the appropriate instructions to not being too familiar with OSX. Try searching the forums, it has come up in the past.
Should really make this an FAQ item as it comes up a lot.

looked through all the files and not there, so odd that this stopped working all of a sudden and VERY frustrating i cannot access the sab console!

liq2, try this. Open Terminal and enter this followed by a return:
open -e .sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
It should open sabnzbd.ini in TextEdit where you can change the IP address to something reachable.
open -e .sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
