SABnzbd Forums

I'm using SABnzbd+ on a Mac with OS X 10.6.4 (latest) and had it working great for months (the Mac was connected via wireless router).  I even moved recently and it still worked.  But now I've bought a new router which has assigned a new range of IP addresses.  My Mac's IP changed and now SABnzbd+ won't work.  I just get the little rainbow wheel spinning up at the taskbar icon, and if I try to access the web interface, it says it can't find it.  

The Mac's assigned IP is 192.168.11.5, and I have even changed this in the .ini file, to no avail.  

I'm not sure what to do here.  SABnzbd was a bit of a pain to set up, and I did it months ago, so I don't really fancy having to un- and re-install all over again unless it's absolutely necessary.  But I love it's functionality and would like to get it working again.  

Ideas?  

EDIT:  BTW, this is the message I keep getting when I try to load an NZB file --

Welcome to SABnzbd.py 0.5.0rc6




SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 119 on 192.168.11.5 was tried , but it is not available.
Some other software uses the port or SABnzbd is already running.

Please restart SABnzbd with a different port number.

Open a Terminal window and type the line (example):
    /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --server 192.168.11.5:120

If you get this error message again, please try a different number.

Program did not start!

Thanks.  Between the new version and setting the host to 0.0.0.0, I'm up again.

Edit your sabnzbd.ini and change the port number. It is defaulted to 8080. You must have changed it to 119 accidentally. I believe these low port numbers are reserved for the OS so they will not be available for use. Try 8080 or 8081.

FYI: The lower port numbers are reserved for ... root. So *if* you know what you're doing, you could use port 80 for example by running SAB as root (something like "sudo ./SABnzbd.py" on Ubuntu).
But, this means looking for trouble. So, just use 8080 indeed.
