SABnzbd Forums

Hi there,

i have a problem with the saving of the logindata on the sabnzbd-Loginpage. Maybe its just the browser (Iron, Chromefork from srware.net) - with Firefox it works. Maybe there could be a solution for this (with the older Loginpage it worked with my Chromefork).

Thanks in advance!

There's a setting in Config->Specials: html_login
Set it to 0 and restart SABnzbd.

Hi there and thank you very much for your answer,

i changed the option to unmarked, saved the changed setting and restarted sabnzbd. For one time there was the old style login-method, but as i typed the login data and hit return the new style login-screen returned. So i entered my login-data again and got into settings-> special -> html_login was unchecket but on.

So i tried my luck via ssh: stopped the service, edited the html_login in the sabnzbd-config file first from 0 (because it was unchecked in the Websettings, i think) to 1, saved, started the service, stopped the service again, edited the html_login in the config file from 1 to 0, saved, started the service again and tried to login -> new style login-screen :-(

What i'm doing wrong?

On which OS are you running SABnzbd?
And how did you install it?

On the Specials page it will always display "html_login ( on )", because the value between brackets is the default value (described in the red text on top of the page).
If there's a big * next to it, it means the value is different from default and that it's saved.

I looked into the code and if html_login=0, the HTML login screen will only show when you actually visit a /login/ page, if you go directly to http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ it seems impossible for the login to come up (if html_login=off).

Why it isn't working I am not really sure, but looking at Iron it seems its optimized for privacy so probably it removes cookies and localstorage after leaving a page. That's the only places where we can store information on a client to identify a returning client.

Hi and thanks for your kind answers.

I run it on Raspbian, and i installed it by a tutorial in this forum.

But with the hint to try it without the "login" in the url it works fine now.

Problem solved! Thank you very much!

Bye
