SABnzbd Forums

I have just started receiving the following message when trying to open SABnzbd . The message is as follows
It looks like the webpage at http://127.0.0.1:556/sabnzbd/ might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_UNSAFE_PORT

Can anyone help me with this please.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

556 is a rather odd port to use. What's wrong with using a port in the 8000's?

Nothing just trying random things to get working will head for the 8000. Except now I can't get in at all - bugger bugger bum - Looking for a genius to unlock my dilemma now.

Thanks

You'll probably need to manually edit the SABnzbd configuration file you're using. Find the key-value pair showing your current 556 port and change it.

Ok I will go looking for it.

Thanks

I give up - not he most technically advanced soul on the planet. Where might I find the configuration file.

That depends: what operating system are you using?

How did you install SABnzbd?

Windows 10 - by the way thanks for the assistance I do appreciate it,

I just downloaded the latest version from the website and away it went.

Good work!

Glad I got something right - I had 5 good years of using this- decided to upload the latest version , my primary drive shat itself and I am just trying to re establish everything.

ERR_UNSAFE_PORT is a Chrome / Chromium / MS Edge warning/error, protecting you against strange URLs, in this case: strange port, considered UNSAFE by Chrome.

You can tell Chrome to do it anyway, but easier to put SABnzbd on 8080 again. Which you did, and which worked. Good!

Don't use Chrome - haven't found the config file so I am not back on 8080 - wish I was

I just edited it to Chrome / Chromium / MS Edge. Can't test Firefox for you. Which browser do you?

Good old MS IE does accept that port. So, can you use that?

On which OS is your SABnzbd running?

Using Microsft Edge on Windows 10 - very vanilla I am
