SABnzbd Forums

I recently had to reinstall my entire computer, and wanted to save sabnzbd's settings (mostly the rss filters, sortof annoying to re-set 100+ of them). I remember using sabnzbd.ini to change settings a while back, so I thought I would just backup that file. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to exist, both on ubuntu karmic/jaunty and on windows 7.

I tried running sabnzbd with this command, as suggested by your wiki: "./SABnzbd.py -s 0.0.0.0:8080 -d -f ~/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
", thinking that would generate sabnzbd.ini. No such luck.

Any help on getting one? If not, can someone tell me where/how sabnzbd stores it settings, if not in sabnzbd.ini, so I can backup that file instead.

Another issue that has been bugging me for a long time now (again on both systems), not sure if they are related: when I change the config settings using the GUI, and hit save changes, the page doesnt refresh. The browser thinks its still working, and nothing changes. (the settings are saved though). Identical problem with the shutdown function aswell.

Thanks



Version: 0.4.12, 0.4.7 (both versions showed the same problem)
OS:  Windows 7 professional x64, ubuntu karmic x64, ubuntu jaunty x64
Install-type: windows installer, python source
Skin (if applicable): default
Firewall Software: N\A
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

There must be something wrong with your system.
As long as it has write access, SABnzbd will always try to create an INI file if it's missing.
You claim it saves settings in the GUI, that's only possible if it can save an INI file.
Check the logging file.

BTW: the default path is ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Note the dot!

Thanks, forgot that find doesnt look in hidden folders. 

Theres still the problem of pages not refreshing though.
