SABnzbd Forums

I have used SAB for a few years and never had a issue.. started getting this today and have even reinstalled

Exception in thread HTTPServer Thread-11:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "threading.pyo", line 488, in __bootstrap_inner
File "threading.pyo", line 448, in run
File "cherrypy\process\servers.pyo", line 75, in _start_http_thread
File "cherrypy\wsgiserver\__init__.pyo", line 1644, in start
error: (10049, "Can't assign requested address")


any help would be great..

Very likely you entered the IP address of your system in Config->General+>host
and now your router has assigned another address.
Try 0.0.0.0 for host.
If nothing works try 127.0.0.1, but then SABnzbd is only accessible from your system itself.
To set the host quickly on a Windows system:
Open and CMD.EXE prompt (use Start menu) and type (including quotes):
"c:\program files (x86)\sabnzbd\sabnzbd-console.exe" --server 0.0.0.0:8080
Enter
or
"c:\program files (x86)\sabnzbd\sabnzbd-console.exe" --server 0.0.0.0:8080

Use "c:\program files\..." if you're using a 32-bit system.

I've created a FAQ for this: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc22

Good.
We also need to come up with a better solution for this problem.
I haven't found a reliable method yet.
