I'm really scratching my head over this issue, I can only access the sab UI from localhost and I want to be able to access it from my LAN so I want to change it to 0.0.0.0.

I have changed it in the settings but as soon as sab restarts, it reverts back to 127.0.0.1.

I manually changed it in the .ini file too, restarted sab and it reverted to 127.0.0.1.

I can change other settings and they are persistent after a restart, it's just this one.

it's weird. The permissions are ok at 777, it's running as my own local user, i cant figure out what is wrong and could use some help.

This install is from the ubuntu ppa and the only thing of interest is that I recently did a re-install and copied the .ini file from my previous install, other than that, it is a normal install.

Linux mint 19.2

Version: 2.3.9 [03c10dc]
Uptime: 4m
Config File: /home/matt/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Parameters: /usr/bin/sabnzbdplus --daemon --pidfile /var/run/sabnzbdplus/pid --server 127.0.0.1:8080
Python Version: 2.7.15+ (default, Nov 27 2018, 23:36:35) [GCC 7.3.0] [UTF-8]
OpenSSL: OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018

There is nothing in the log about this either - https://pastebin.com/JAhCv5AU

As you use the PPA and probably SAB-as-service, check /etc/default/sabnzbdplus ... and especially the setting HOST.
