SABnzbd Forums

Version: (Ex: 0.4.12 Final and 0.5.0 b1)
OS: Windows XP SP3
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin: Default, Plush
Firewall Software: Eset Smart Security
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? for me anyway.

I have problem to start SABnzbd after I installed new 0.5.0 b1, it started just fine the first time I ran it, but I needed to restart my computer and after that it won't start!
It complains about the port being used, i used 8081 when it worked before the restart, but now it doesn't work, and I've tried several different ports as suggested, but it won't start whatever port I throw at it.

I uninstalled 0.5.0b1 and installed 0.4.12 again, and it started just fine at the first time, this time on 8080, after I did some changes and did the needed restart of the program it's the same there, says 8080 is in use, so I tried 8081 as I used before, didn't work, not any port I throw at it.
It's not runned in the background according to the task manager.
I also tried to disable my firewall and virus software, but that didn't help.
SABnzbd is allowed on any port in the firewall, as it always have and it worked flawless before this restart.

I can make it start with the SABnzb-console.exe (SABnzb Safe Mode) but that shouldn't be the way to go in the long run?

I have no idea what is going on here.
The only difference between the normal and the console version
is that the console version shows logging in a window.

I don't know either, have tried everything now.
I installed 0.5.0b1 again and running the console version, isn't much else to do for now
I'm happy just some solution got it to work so I can continue to use it and download all my things.

The downside of the uninstall was that I lost my queue that was on over 750 things, but had a backup nzb folder so I can just take the last 750 files moved to that folder then I should be set again

0.5.0 is a big improvement on speed when handling queue and stuff, keep up the good work!

Edit: hm, now the console doesn't work either
