SABnzbd Forums

I was using sabnzb but then changed my port to 563 as per the news group, I get the following error but cannot get it to re-start.

I'm new to this & using MAC OS Mountain Lion.

Thanks

SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 563 on 127.0.00001 was tried , but the account used for SABnzbd has no permission to use it.
On OSX and Linux systems, normal users must use ports above 1023.

Please restart SABnzbd with a different port number.

Open a Terminal window and type the line (example):
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server 127.0.00001:1024

If you get this error message again, please try a different number.

Program did not start!

... and your questions is ... ? ;-)

Change it back to 8080 and you're fine. The port 563 (and 119) is only for outgoing NNTP sessions. However, you've change the incoming HTTP port, which you should not do.

the way i got around this is i put in terminal

/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server 127.0.0.1:8081
instead of
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server localhost:8081

believe me ive been trying for almost a month to get my dear program to work. it stopped when i updated and ive been trying to find something decent for mac but nothing worked.
so i figured since i cant get to the ini, reinstalling doesnt work, nothing works, ill do the local host ip in place of the word, and it worked.

a lot of people are having this problem, i hope it helps!
