SABnzbd Forums

Everything was running fine for me until suddenly sabnzbd froze up in the middle of a download when my computer lost wireless momentarily. Now when I attempt to open sabnzbd the menu icon pops up but the web UI is inaccessible. When I hover my mouse over the menu icon I get the spinning beachball.

I have tried deleting the application as well as the application support folder and reinstalling. It still freezes immediately and only generates a sabnzbd.ini with the following contents:
__version__=19
[misc]
[logging]

No error logs appear. I am forced to quit the application through activity monitor.

Any ideas what I can do to reset this issue?

For a blunt repair.
Make sure SABnzbd doesn't run .
Remove everything in /Users/user/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/
Start SABnzbd.

That was the first thing I tried and unfortunately it did not work.

This is SABnzbd 0.6.5 on OS X 10.6.8

What can I say? It works for many other people on OSX.
Do you see any suspect messages in the OSX Console app?

I don't know enough about Python to know whether any of this is suspect:

Can you try the new Beta for 0.6.6?
http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8280

That one is compatible with OSX Lion and uses the built-in Apple Python
instead of the third-party ActiveState Python.

I can't explain it... I installed the beta this morning and had the same issue. Shut my computer off; came back to it after work and it's working again. Only thing I had to change was from localhost to my ip address.

Depending on what you installed, localhost can behave bit weird.
Which web browser is your OS's default?

Firefox 5.0.1. After working fine for an evening, Beta 0.6.6 has returned to the same problem as 0.6.5, frozen on startup. Switching default browser to Safari 5.0.5 does not seem to change anything.

Doesn't using the IP instead of localhost help any more?
