SABnzbd Forums

I've had this issue for a long time and can't find a solution.

The SABnzbd app is running, but when I go to http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ the browser says it can't find the page.

I ran the following command to check:
lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P | grep SABnzbdc

And I get the following:
SABnzbd  395 awinkler  12u  IPv6 0x04fcf940      0t0  TCP localhost:8080 (LISTEN)

Also to note is that in /Library/Application Support there is no SABnzbd folder, to my understanding there should be one, but I have un-installed and re-installed this program numerous times and that hasn't helped with anything.

Im running Mac OS 10.6.4 and SABnzbd 0.5.3

If anyone has any suggestion, it would be most appreciated!

Are you using Chrome?

Chrome is retarded on OSX and can't tell what "localhost" means.

Use Firefox or Safari to edit the SABnzbd settings and make SABnzbd listen on 127.0.0.1 instead. Then Chrome will work.

Hi,

SABnzbd settings are in your home directory not in system.
You'll find settings in /Users//Library/Application Support/SABnzbd
Try to replace in sabnzbd.ini "localhost" by "127.0.0.1" or "0.0.0.0".

And restart SABnzbd, it should work with Chrome.

Thanks a lot for the help! I changed 'localhost' to '0.0.0.0' and it worked perfectly in Google Chrome.

I also seem to have an issue with connecting to my newsgroup provider.
I have had the same information in Sabnzbd under Configure -> Servers for a long time and all of a sudden under Connections it says the following:

Failed login for server [481 Invalid Username or password]

Nothing has changed in my service, and I triple checked that all the information is correct.
Also is when I press 'Test Server' under the server information it says 'Connection Successful!' So why does SABnzbd say the above when it is trying to make connections?

It might not have anything to do with SABnzbd itself, but I would really appreciate any suggestions.

See this sticky thread.

I changed the password to be only 6 characters and it works fine now.

Thank you for all the help
