Sabnzbd will not stay open [Win8.1]

[mephatmatt]

Not sure if anyone else is having similar problems but as of recently, I cannot get this sabnzbd.exe to stay open! Been running the software for a year or two without any problems. Upon starting exe as administrator in Win 8.1, it shows up temporarily in task manager and then disappears. My initial reaction was that a recent change in the firewall or AVG must be causing this. After disabling both, I noticed that the same thing happened. At a loss for what to do next. Just reinstalled and ensured I'm running the newest 0.7.16.

I noticed that all this started in the last week or two. Any suggestions?

On Windows, open a CMD shell, find sabnzbd-console.exe (somewhere c:\program files ... \SABnzbd'\ ..), and start it in the CMD box. Monitor the output, and post it here.

OK, there it is: "error: (10049, "Can't assign requested address")".

Do this:

Code: Select all

sabnzbd-console.exe --server 127.0.0.1:8080 

HTH

This works but also raises two concerns:

1) The command prompt must stay open in order for the service to run. As soon as I close the window, it does not work. Any way around this so I don't have to keep the window open 24/7?

2) While the loopback IP works, I perfer using my static IP so that I can monitor downloads from other devices on my LAN. Anyway around this?

Thanks for the support! I'm at least up and running for the time being.

OK, nex step:

With sabnzbd open & running, in SAB go to Config -> General, and at "SABnzbd Host" fill out 0.0.0.0. Save and exit, and start the normal sabnzbd.

Changed settings to 0.0.0.0 but the sabnzbd.exe still closes shortly after executing... Console still works though.
