SABnzbd Forums

I have read the previous posts on this forum and their solutions didn't work.  I have a fresh install of Apache 2.2 on windows RC7.  I have tried this giude:

http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/howto-apache

but it doesn't work for sabnzbd.  It does work for uTorrent though:


order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
ProxyPass http://localhost:8081/gui
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8081/gui


I have enabled the following modules:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

It is probably overkill, which ones do I actually need to get sabnzbd working with this proxy pass through?

Here is another bit of code I tried:

ProxyPass /sabnzbd http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd
ProxyPassReverse /sabnzbd http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd
ProxyPass /gui http://127.0.0.1:8081/gui
ProxyPassReverse /gui http://127.0.0.1:8081/gui

The gui one, or uTorrent, works but the sabnzbd doesn't.  I always get a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable message with the sab.

Thanks for any advice/help/comments!

Did you tell SABnzbd to listen to 127.0.0.1:8080 ?

Yeah, Sab listens to 8080.

Interestingly, when I type these into a browser:

http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd works
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd doesn't work
http://localhost:8081/gui works
http://127.0.0.1:8081/gui works

Not sure why 127.0.0.1 doesn't work for sab.  I still get the same error message if I replace all the 127.0.0.1 with localhost in httpd.conf.

ProxyPass /sabnzbd http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd
ProxyPassReverse /sabnzbd http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd
ProxyPass /gui http://localhost:8081/gui
ProxyPassReverse /gui http://localhost:8081/gui

The above and below still return a 503 service temporarily unavailable error for sabnzbd but work for utorrent.


order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
ProxyPass http://localhost:8081/gui
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8081/gui



order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd



I can't think of any reason why 127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd will not work, but localhost:8080/sabnzbd works.

On my Linux box I use the exact same method and it works fine.
I'm not sure if a Windows system would use exactly the same configuration.

I do get the same error when I stop and start SABnzbd. It takes Apache a couple
of minutes to find out that SABnzbd is back.

Yeah time didn't help.  I also tried switching out localhost and 127.0.0.1 with my local ip, 192.168.1.2.  So:

192.168.1.2:8080/sabnzbd doesn't work
192.168.1.2:8081/gui works
192.168.1.2/sabnzbd doesn't work
192.168.1.2/gui work

Same results for either just ProxyPass/Reverse and using the Location directive.

localhost on Vista and windows 7 does not resolve to 127.0.0.1.

It resolves to the ipv6 address ::1

This is how it should be, we rely on your operating systems to resolve to the correct address.

Give SABnzbd a blank host under config>general (delete localhost, leaving it blank), restart sabnzbd then try acessing http://192.168.1.2:8080/sabnzbd again

Thanks a lot for your help!  Once you told me that I went to

C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

and uncommented "127.0.0.1       localhost"

Now it is resolving the correct ip in apache so:

192.168.1.2/sabnzbd works
127.0.0.1/sabnzbd works
localhost/sabnzbd works
and the same with :8080 inserted all work

I am still confused why uTorrent was working, because all 6 of the previous ways were working.

I am having shypike's thing where it takes a minute to find sab after I reboot windows.  It hasn't occurred when restarting sab/apache both/individually.

Thanks again for all your help!

Oh yeah, the error in the logs after restarting windows when trying to access localhost/sabnzbd:

"[Mon Jun 01 08:17:22 2009] [error] proxy: HTTP: disabled connection for (localhost)"

I just kept refreshing the request and it took exactly a minute before it finally returned the sab page.  I haven't done any multiple tests though.
