SABnzbd Forums

I run sabnzbd on Snow Leopard Server (10.6.3). And i got following issues:

1. Sabnzbd wont launch when i try to launch the app from the Application folder. I have to open package contents an run the unix file directly, otherwise sabnzbd wont launch at all. When i did like that, actually sabnzbd worked quite well and stable.

2. Since a few days, sabnzbd crashes silently. I just got the terminal message like this:

/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd ; exit;
xserve:~ root# /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd ; exit;
INFO:root:Console logging for OSX App disabled
2010-04-06 20:30:07,219::INFO::[SABnzbd:938] Console logging for OSX App disabled
Killed
logout

So this happens about 10 or 20 seconds after launch. in that small timeframe the application works normally. After that it crashes without notice. I have to kill the task in the taskmanager, then i can launch the unix file again. But again, after a few seconds it crashes again. I did also install 0.5.1 RC2, but that did not change anything.

So, who could help me with this? this issue makes sabnzbd quite unuseable form me :-(

Thanks!

Some additional information i got in console:

Your system doesn't have the HOME variable set, which is very unusual.
SABnzbd needs this to find your settings folder.
The alternative is to start it with the -f folder parameter.
Where folder is the folder where your sabnzbd.ini file is.
