SABnzbd Forums

Hey,

I am new to SABnzbd as I have just got a new Mac and wanted to try out a good open-source newsreader.

Installed everything fine and it worked straight away, perfect!  I was messing about with some settings and accidentally changed the localhost and port settings and now SABnzdb won't load up in safari when I go to http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/.

I've had a search on the forum and it seems this is due to the settings in the .ini file?  I tried using terminal and
"open ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini" but it just says "No application knows how to open /Users/ewandenny/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini."

I have even tried to manually find the .ini and edit it myself back to localhost and port 8080 but can't even find it in my directories.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail.

I am so annoyed as it definitely worked fine before I messed with the settings.

Any ideas at all?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It depends on which version you use:

0.4.12:
/home/USERNAME/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

0.5.0
/home/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini

Look for field
host = localhost

Thanks for the reply Shypike.

Tried looking in Application Support and there is no SABnzbd folder in there and also tried looking in Library/Preferences just in case.

The version i have is - Version 0.4.12 (0.4.12) and i'm running OSX 10.6.2

Would there be any reason why the folder isn't there?  I have even tried using AppCleaner just in case i wasn't uninstalling it correctly, tried a fresh install and nothing.

You'd better install 0.5.0 Beta5, which is already much better than 0.4.12.
"Open" of the file will not work, because there's no association with the INI type.
You need to open the app TextEdit and use its open file dialog to open the file.
