Issues Updating Sabnzbd on Qnap NAS

Hi All,

Sorry if any of this is a little n00bish but I have been struggling with this update all day and really would appreciate any advise anyone can give me.

So I have removed my previous version of sabnzbd, which unfortunately I can't remember exactly which version it was as didn't really make of note of it. It was definitely a 0.x.x though.

Anyway, once that was removed I downloaded the following package:

SABnzbdplus_141108.qpkg

I have then installed this using my Qnap installer and all seems to be fine, it says it installs fine etc but does not work. At this point I logged in to my NAS via a terminal session and noticed the following output when trying to start sabnzbd:

Code: Select all

[~] # /etc/init.d/sabnzbd.sh start
armv5tel

Starting SABnzbdplus/usr/bin/python2.7: can't open file 'SABnzbd.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Because of this I have been looking at multiple versions of Python and a module called Cheetah which I have seen mentioned on forums etc multiple times. I have installed difference versions I have attempted to install from source code rather than the install on Qnap using a qpkg but I am now at a lose.

Please if anyone is able to advise me that would be great. Even if its just to tell me that it is not possible for me to run this and I can attempt a different version.

Thanks

Ahhh fantastic that worked a treat!

Thanks Safihre!

I removed the old package and installed the latest and this worked fine. Not sure if what I had previously done with Python/Cheetah had anything to do with it or not but thanks you!
