SABnzbd Forums

Hey Guys.. I'm new to sabnzbd. Just switched from NzbGet. Can't get SabNZBd working properly though and was hoping someone can help.

First, let me state that I know it is an access rights issue, I just don't know how to fix it.

I have created:
user: sonarr
group: xbmc

I had everything working perfectly before but the nzbget failed on me and I decided to install sabnzbd.

System: Korora 25 (based on Fedora 25)

I installed sabnzbd via git close and it was pretty easy to get up an running.

Sonarr is connected to sabnzbd fine. It sends the nzb files over, files are downloaded into /home/nighthawk/Downloads/.sabnzbd/incomplete just fine. However with post-processing, I get a message saying that it could not create folder in /home/nighthawk/Downloads/.sabnzbd/complete/TV.Show.Directory

I have the following permissions set:
/home/nighthawk/
drwxr-xr-x. 20 jthornton jthornton 4.0K May 6 12:33 Downloads

/home/nighthawk/Downloads
drwxr-xr-x 4 sonarr xbmc 4.0K May 6 11:25 .sabnzbd

/home/nighthawk/Downloads/.sabnzbd
drwxr-xr-x 4 sonarr xbmc 4.0K May 6 11:25 .
drwxr-xr-x. 20 jthornton jthornton 4.0K May 6 12:33 ..
drwsrws--- 28 sonarr xbmc 4.0K May 6 13:28 complete
drwsrws--- 4 sonarr xbmc 4.0K May 6 13:25 incomplete

I set the permissions to complete & incomplete as 2770 and 4770

I dropped to shell then logged into root user. Then logged into sonarr user (it has no password and this is the only way I no how to login to that user)

I can then navigate to /home/nighthawk/Downloads/.sabnzbd/complete and create a directory.

The directory is then created with ownership as sonarr:xbmc the way it is suppose to be.

I am really puzzled on why I can't get this to work.

Any suggestions?

I think I solved the problem. It seems my permissions are correctly set. I typed in my path for the final folder into settings instead of selecting it using "BROWSE". I just selected it and it seems to work now.
