Hi, I've been using sabnzbd for several weeks without problem.  From memory the initial install was simple and went off without a hitch.  Due to an unrelated problem last night, I had to revert back to a disk image that predated the original sabnzbd install.  This time when I installed the program I ran into problems for some reason.  The actual install seems to work but I can't open the web interface. I keep getting a URL unavailable message for localhost 8080 (then 8085, 8090.....and so on for each attempt).

I'm running Comodo firewall and I Ok'd the pop ups about internet access and 127.0.0.1 (or whatever it is) during install.  To rule out the firewall I actually uninstalled Comodo and tried sabnzbd again.  Same problem.

Given the first install was simple and trouble free, I'm buggered if I can work out what's changed to cause these problems.

Actually something that might be related is that after I loaded the disk image, I tried to access the web UI for my DLink router via the gateway IP 10.1.1.1 and I could not get it to load.  Coincidence perhaps?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dave

Find the sabnzbd.ini file, see: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-v2
Find the lines containing "host =" and "port =".
You should probably set host to 0.0.0.0 and port to 8080 (or any other number you fancy).

As a diagnostic, you can run a special variant of SABnzbd.
Open a "command prompt" and type:
"c:\program files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd-console.exe"
This will show you some diagnostic messages.
