SABnzbd Forums

Hi, I've tried to fix myself reading threads and using google, but still cannot get it working.

I have Sab 0.5.2 running on a NAS and I have the latest unrar installed. I've tried using Unrar to upzip the download rar file and it works but it doesnt work from the program. All I see in History is this.

Download
Downloaded in 6 minutes 9 seconds at an average of 169.44 KB/s

Unpack
[blah-blah-blah] Unpacked 0 files/folders in 0 seconds

Path
/etc/SABnzbd/downloads/complete/newtest


Thanks.

Is unrar available to whatever user SABnzbd runs as on your NAS? Can you su to that user and just run "unrar" and have it work? If not, it's not in that user's $PATH, and it needs to be added.

I dont understand sorry. I know that if i log on via putty, you have to use user root. The NAS is a Netgear ReadyNas Duo. I followed instructions on how to install SABnzbd on this device.

Can anyone help please?

Whose instructions?
We have no idea on how you installed this.
Key is that SABnzbd must be able to find unrar somewhere in the directories listed
in the PATH environment variable.
I assume you do not start SABnzbd from the Putty prompt, but that it autostarts.
Examine the script that starts SABnzbd. Possibly you need to expand the PATH variable in the script.

Hi, these are the instructions that I followed.

This was posted by a helpful user, but not supported by the team (we cannot).
You still need to solve the PATH problem yourself.
Try the hints I gave you in my last answer.
