Hi:
Upgraded to recent version on Home Server 2 days ago, ran fine.
Rebooted Home Server today, Sabnzbd gives me this error:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\SABnzbd>SABnzbd-console.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SABnzbd.py", line 1257, in <module>
  File "SABnzbd.py", line 882, in main
  File "cherrypy\process\servers.pyo", line 228, in check_port
socket.gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')
Any help is appreciated.

Do you start SABnzbd very early after booting?
It looks like the TCP/IP stack isn't ready yet.

Hi shypike.
Thanks for the prompt reply:
The solution was easy.
I originally had the fields for host:port in the config.ini file empty. The prog apparently defaulted to the IP of my Home Server.
When I upgraded, I checked the configuration, decided to put the [host:port] in, and INPUTTED THE WRONG VALUE.

Thus the error message.

Started command line option -s [host:port]; prog wrote it to ini file as advertised.
All is well.  8)

Thanks again
JohnP

It would have been nice if SABnzbd showrf a decent error message,
I'll see if that can be fixed.
Thanks for reporting.
