SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

I am a noob with this so please bear with me if I am missing something simple. I have searched everywhere and cannot find an answer anywhere. I have recently setup an unraid box with a plex server and it is running great so far. I am now trying to add sonarr and am having problems getting Sabnzbd setup. I am Going off of Spaceinvader one's youtube video. I installed it through Unraid's Community applications and had no problems. The problems is that when I try to change the download directory I cannot find my drive or folder. I am trying to change the downloads to /mnt/disk 1/downloads. I also tried mnt/cache/downloads. In Sabnzbd I go to settings, then folders, then try to change the folder paths for downloads. When I navigate to where (I think) the folder is the directory is empty. I have looked through all of the directories but cannot seem to find the downloads folder that I created anywhere. Am I missing something stupid? I have done a LITTLE bit with linux but am really not that familiar with it. I tried to add a couple screenshots but could not get them to load. Thanks.

Does the user that runs SABnzbd have permissions to read/write/x the folders and parent/folders?

I am not sure but I think so. I only have 1 user (root I think) and have not changed any permissions. How can I check to make sure that it does have those permissions? Thanks!

If you're trying to change this setting for a sab install running on another system, you'll have to type or copy-paste the correct directory settings yourself. The browse button will always show the directory layout of the local system.
