Frozen SABnzbd on Mac Snow Leopard

Post by dolver »

So the scenario is fairly simple. I wanted to updated host with my IP address (instead of just 0.0.0.0). I did so and then saved. Then clicked "restart".

From that point on, sabnzbd has been frozen. Whenever I mouse over the icon in the menu, I get a pinwheel. If I restart the computer and then open sabnzbd, I get a growl notification saying "shutting down" as though it is still working on shutting down and restarting. Is there any way to force quit the action it is taking?

Thanks so much.

Use TextEdit to open /Users/user/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
and look for:
host = <your-ip>
Change the incorrect address to something appropriate.
Which IP address did you use? Not the one your ISP assigns you, I assume.
