I changed my host name and now i cant access sabnzbd
I changed it to my ip address and now it wont let me access it. My hostname isnt localhost anymore so now what do i use as the url?
Re: I changed my host name and now i cant access sabnzbd
What do you mean "localhost isn't my hostname any more"?
That's not true.
"localhost" is by definition your system, but that address is only available locally (within the system).
Of course your system might be screwed up a bit, but then you should use 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost".
If you want the SABnzbd on your system to be accessible by other systems on your local network,
then you should be using 0.0.0.0 instead.

Re: I changed my host name and now i cant access sabnzbd
I changed my host name to my ip address. After i refreshed it i couldn't access it anymore through http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd. So what do I use now to access sabnzbd? http://myip:8080/sabnzbd?

0.0.0.0 means host-ip AND localhost.

Re: I changed my host name and now i cant access sabnzbd
Thank you shypike, but no form of pointing the computer at itself was working for the issue we have at hand. I too have now resolved the problem, and in case anyone else visits this thread in the future, the way I resolved it was by opening the sabnzbd.ini configuration file ( sabnzbd.ini location? : http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc16 ), finding the "host = x.x.x.x" entry ( x.x.x.x being whatever ip you had set in GUI ), and changing x.x.x.x to the current ip, or to shypike's point, 0.0.0.0 if you want to be able to access sabnzbd using localhost or 0.0.0.0. Than quit sabnzbd ( I still had the toolbar icon running ), relaunch, and voila!
