SABnzbd Failes After IP Change

My router changed and I had to replace it. So this lead to my Ubuntu server receiving a new IP address. Now SABnzbd wont start.
When I start the service it says OK, but the web interface does not come up.
If I run "sabnzbdplus" I notice the following:
2012-08-27 07:11:53,231::ERROR::[sabnzbdplus:302] Failed to start web-interface :
2012-08-27 07:11:53,232::INFO::[__init__:325] SABnzbd shutting down...
I am not sure whats going on. Anyone have any suggestions?

In sabnzbd.ini, find the first occurence of 'host' ... What is it?
Here's mine:
Code: Select all
sander@R540:~$ grep host ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini | head -1
host = 0.0.0.0
sander@R540:~$

Mine shows what I am assuming was my previous IP address. If I change it to 0.0.0.0 and try to start the services it seems to be restored to my previous IP. I am making the changes as root.

Did you fully stop SAB before changing anything in the sabnzbd.ini file ... ?

Yes I did stop the service.

From the command line (so not as a daemon / service), start SAB like this:
sabnzbdplus --server 127.0.0.1:8080
(Assuming port 8080 is available)

If you set the host in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus it will be restored to whatever is set there every time the service starts.

I advice to only use localhost (127.0.0.1) or 0.0.0.0: that will always work, won't it?

I made the changes you suggested, but now when I start the service it sits at "URLGrabber starting up". Never moves past that line, I have to cancel out of the command.

That's the last line in the log with a normal program startup. Time to start feeding it nzbs.
