[Errno 111] Failed to connect

Post by wolf971 »

Hello Everyone,

I tried all day to install SABNZBDPLUS and I still have this error :

Code: Select all

[Errno 111] Failed to connect: (110, 'timed out') -1@news.giganews.com:563
I have a virtual server, I use a mac with the ssh terminal to do all the things.

I tried that from the website :

Code: Select all

"[Errno 111] Failed to connect: (110, 'timed out') -1 @news.example.com:119" when clicking on Test Server

You can test your connection to your newsserver by clicking on Test Server (in Config -> Servers). If the popup says "[Errno 111] Failed to connect: (110, 'timed out') -1@news.example.com:119", SABnzbd cannot connect to the newserver you filled out. You should check two things: the correct name for the newsserver and the correct port (119 is the normal port).

If you're sure everything is filled out OK and you still get the error message, as a test you can fill out an additional newsserver. You can use news.astraweb.com or newsreader.eweka.nl. After filling out and Save Change, you can click on Test Server. If you get "[Errno 111] Failed to connect: (110, 'timed out') -1@news.astraweb.com:119" for this extra server too, the problem is local: possibly a firewall is blocking outgoing connections. So check your firewall. Or temporarily disable / deinstall your firewall. Then check again with Test Server.

NB: after your own server is working, disable the extra setting, or you will see warnings in your log file of SABnzbd still trying to access this server for which you have no account.
It's not working at all.

This is my config :

Can you help me, please ?

Do you have a firewall installed?

I don't know. I will see with the website which gave me the virtual server.

If it's that, what can I do ? Remove the firewall or make a exception for which port ?

See http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/firewalls-and-virus-scanners . But if someone else set up a firewall, you have to talk to that person.

In the meantime, you can also try news.giganews.com without port filled out and no SSL

Clear.

Contact your VPS/server-provider what is going on. Maybe they don't allow outgoing sessions at all.

First try telnet.
telnet server-address 119
You should get a prompt from the Usenet server.

Hello,

This is my Telnet conf :

Code: Select all

# /etc/inetd.conf:  see inetd(8) for further informations.
#
# Internet superserver configuration database
#
#
# Lines starting with "#:LABEL:" or "#<off>#" should not
# be changed unless you know what you are doing!
#
# If you want to disable an entry so it isn't touched during
# package updates just comment it out with a single '#' character.
#
# Packages should modify this file by using update-inetd(8)
#
# <service_name> <sock_type> <proto> <flags> <user> <server_path> <args>
#
#:INTERNAL: Internal services
#discard                stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
#discard                dgram   udp     wait    root    internal
#daytime                stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal
#time           stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal

#:STANDARD: These are standard services.
telnet          stream  tcp     nowait  telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

#:BSD: Shell, login, exec and talk are BSD protocols.

What can I should be?

First install the 'telnet' client. Depends on your Server / Linux version how to do that.
