SABnzbd Forums

Everytime i want to start sabnzbd i get the following message (in firefox) via file:///C:/Users/Joost/appdata/local/temp/tmpuj-k_w.html

SABnzbd.exe 0.6.0



    SABnzbd needs a valid host address for its internal web server.
    You have specified an invalid address.
    Safe values are localhost and 0.0.0.0

    Please restart SABnzbd with a proper host address.

    Press Startkey+R and type the line (example):
        "C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server localhost:8080


Program did not start!

I tried to change the .ini file and instead of [HOST] localhost or 0.0.0.0 but that doesnt work.

So im out of ideas!

Version: (SABnzbd.exe 0.6.0)
OS: (Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64)
Install-type: (Windows Installer)
Skin (if applicable): (Default)
Firewall Software: (None or windows firewall)
Are you using IPV6? (no)
Is the issue reproducible? (yes)

Use an empty host name or look up the true IP address of your system and use that.
(The IP address that your system gets from your router, not your ISP address).

Thanks that worked! How easy was that...

For other people: search for sabnzbd.ini and search in the file for host.

Then remove [HOST] or change [HOST] to your internal IP adress.
