SABnzbd Forums

I downloaded and installed sabnzdb a couple of days ago and it was working OK. Today I tried to use it again but it gave me a webpage saying it could not connect. Nothing I tried would get it working again. So I deleted the installation and re-downloaded the application. After I drag the app to my app folder and then double-click it, it asks me if I trust it, I say yes, but then the dialogue box disappears and nothing else happens. I can see sabnzdb in the activity monitor as a process, but apart from that there is no visibility of it at all.

Can you help?

Thanks,

There should be an icon in the top menu bar (yellow down arrow).

Hi thanks. I can see that arrow but none of the options in the list open the web interface.IE I cant get to the configuration options.

OK, so SABnzbd is running.
Try these two addresses:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd
http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd

If that fails, then stop SABnzbd.
Open a Terminal (from Applications->Utilities) and type:
rm "Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini"

This will remove all your settings
and will run the Setup wizard the next time you start SABnzbd.

(yes, we're looking at a better way for recovery in situations like this...)

Thanks. The terminal option sorted it for me.

I hope this thread gets a good bump, but I'm having the same problem that ukefc had. I downloaded to newest version of SAB, emptied my queue, and when I try to open up the SABnzbd+ nothing happens. I'll download an .nzb and double click it, it'll confirm with me that I want to open it and then nothing happens. Not even the icon on the top that let's me know it's working. I tried the terminal and when I reopened the SAB it was the same thing. I've deleted and reinstalled over and over again. Kind of at a loss. Any suggestions?

Make sure you have release 0.6.14.
Then open a Terminal and type:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console

If there are startup problems, you should see some error messages.

I definitely have the most recent version. After inputing that into a Terminal it said that it was a unknown required load command. I just copied and pasted what you asked me. But whenever I did that a pop up from my computer told that that SABnzbd quit unexpectedly. This would happen even when the program wasn't running.

Do you see any output from SABnzbd in the Terminal window?
Did you use the SABnzbd-0.6.14-osx.dmg file?
(You should not be using SABnzbd-0.6.14-osx-leopard.dmg)

Other than the unknown required load command and my computer saying that SAB quit unexpectedly there were no other changes or output that I could see. And yes, I am using, or attempting to use, the osx.dmg file and not the osx-leopard.

I'm sorry to be such a bother, it's just that everything was working fine until I downloaded the new version the other night.

Does it help to install the older version again?
They're all still available on Sourceforge.net.

Fantastic. I downloaded the older version that I had, and that did the trick. Now that I know that I can access older versions I'll probably try to figure out what happened and possibly get the newer version eventually. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.

I'm having the same issues. I keep getting unable to connect errors trying both localhost:8080 and 0.0.0.0:8080 . I tried the previous versions to no avail. I've also uninstalled multiple times removed the SAB App Support folder as well as the ini files.

When I ran /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console in terminal I'm getting these errors:

ERROR:root:Failed to start web-interface:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/SABnzbd.py", line 1408, in main

gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known
ERROR:root:Failed to start web-interface : [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I'm new at this so I have no idea what that means.

It's very likely that your system has lost the definition of "localhost".
Try 127.0.0.1:8080 instead.

Nada. Still the unable to connect message.
