Hello, I have a problem ! Sabnzb doesn't start up anymore. it has workt but now nothing seems to happen. For a little time it seems te be started but nothing happened. I work with vista. The browser doesn't start and i seems there are no processes started. What can i do

Open a command prompt and type in (assuming installation in the default location).

"c:\program files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd_console.exe"

Then press enter.

Check for error reports in this window.

I think you did not "Open a command prompt ": with a command prompt open, the window will stay open and you can see the output.

So:
1) Open a command prompt
2) in the command prompt, type the given SABnzbd-console command

I start the command with "start" + R en than the line / command and than it says that it cannot be found

You need a command prompt, because otherwise you'll miss the errors.

Press Windows-key + R.
Type cmd enter.

You will get a black window.

Then type: Then see what happens.

I installed 0.4.6 over my previous working SAB and now my SAB wont start. Did the above and got it telling me port 9000 (which I have for SAB) is already in use.

How can I clear the port so that SAB can use it (again)   Thanks

Are you sure sabnzbd isn't already running? Try accessing http://localhost:9000/sabnzbd/

If not, try with another port:
start>run:

Hey I got also a problem.

It started when i got a payserver. It didnt download at right speed so i was changing some settings and trying to get it fixed but i messed is up.

I changed settings at general figuration with my stupid head. I changed the port into the name of the payserver (usenet) and the port in 119. After I closed the programm i couldnt come in anymore.
When i try to open SABnzbd i get the screen as you see when you click the picture below.



I try to solve the problem so i tried some things. I had to go in the cmd but i pressed START + R and put then C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe in it but i see i had to do that in prompt with cmd command.

I also tried accessing http://localhost:9000/sabnzbd/ but that didnt work.

Now I hope you got a solution so i can get in the programm and get the settings right.

First, make sure there are no other instances of sabnzbd running (go to task manager and check the processes tab)

Then either:
Launch sabnzbd like the web page shows: In start>run enter "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s localhost:9000

or find your sabnzbd.ini (http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/faq#toc12) open it up in notepad/wordpad and look for and change the following to the values stated: Make sure the values aren't the ones in the server section of the ini.
Then try launching sabnzbd in your usual manner.

And access through: http://localhost:9000/sabnzbd/

Thnx its working again. But only the old one i got SABnzbd-0.2.5-w32.

That one is working well for me, but how can i get the new working right.

When i start up sabnzbd 0.4.6 its going to C:\Documents and Settings\Klaas van de Groep\Local Settings\Temp\tmpzcpnxg.html, thats the main problem i think.

I have seen now what i did wrong.

Maybe more people make that mistake....

When pressing startkey + R I pasted: C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe --server localhost:8081
in the command. I forgot the (") before the C and after the exe.
