Hi guys.
I restarted my computer just a few hours ago. When it came back up, sabnzbd had changed its listnening port from 8081 to 8086. I can NOT figure out how to get it to go back. I can set it to listen on 8081 in the settings and restart it, but it always comes back up on 8086. I looked through the logs to see if I could find an error somewhere that would cause it to pick a different port but was unable to find anything. I even did a reinstall with the same results.
I have so many port forwarding rules and applications set up to connect to sab that changing them all to 8086 would be a serious pain. Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you!!!

Stop SABnzbd and edit the sabnzbd.ini file directly.

Re: Sabnzbd changing port by itself!
I did that. I even made it read only! Booted up sab and it was still on 8086 (even though the ini still said 8081). It's really really odd.
Re: Sabnzbd changing port by itself!
That should only happen when some other program is using that port.
Does the same happen after reboot?
Are using a program like SickBeard or CouchPotato?
