SABnzbd Forums

The title says it all, why can't I see if anyone has filed a similar bug before?

I have a shitload of bugs to file, but I'm reluctant to file anything unless I'm sure nobody has filed it before.

Anyway, I am going to mention some of my bugs here, and if I feel good about the feedback, I'll submit the bugs in seperate messages.

Starting light:

1. Upon registration, you never say anything about the password restrictions. (Keeeping me trying 3-4 times to register with a "faulty" password)

2. A little worse: I map a drive to sabNZB, but if the drive is not mounted, you default to /etc for your data stuff.
THIS FILLS MY /ETC TO THE LIMIT!

Usually I patch your source to avoid this, but sometimes I forget it..
Why in the world are you defaulting to creating "completed", "logs" and other crap under this important directory?
Why not use "/sabnzb" or something like that?

(Note the first slash, it's like this on Linux, if you prefix a path with a slash, you operate on root level)

If not, you are fucking up whatever the user must be having under /etc, and believe me, it is a LOT!

This is just a couple of complaints I have, please, read my comment as it is ment, a comment but with a strain of anger below.., and disregard that I have been exploding 3-4 times when your dear service took down my server due to lack of space in /etc.. That is another bug that I would file, if it was clear enough that it was not filed before. Due to the lack of search functionality in the bug filing section it is hard to see what's been said before.

[Edit]
It came to me, that my environment might be of some use for you, so here it is:
sabNZB running on server with Ubuntu Lucid (sabNZB source download, not the ubuntu package)
Latest source version: 0.5.3

1. Which registration, what restrictions?
Is this the forum?
Please blame SMF's designers We are looking at an alternative.

2. Don't put you sabnzbd.ini file in /etc, if you move it elsewhere, the defaults will follow
You didn't read the Wiki.
In normal user mode, all admin data will be put in $HOME/.sabnzbd
and the payload in $HOME/downloads.
You are probably running in daemon mode.
In this case, $HOME is not available and SABnzbd will use the
location of sabnzbd.ini as a "home".
So if you pick /etc as home, bad luck.
Use the -f parameter to set a better home.
If you installed it as an OS package, please complain to the package creator.

We're looking at some solution for missing mounted drives.
