563 is typically a port used for SSL-ed Usenet traffic, not for running SABnzbd's webserver on.
On Unix systems (this includes OSX), ports below 1024 require special priviliges.
The best thing to do is to set the port to 8080, do not set an explicit https port and enable https.
Since it won't start now, do this to repair:
- Make sure SABnzbd isn't running (use the downl-arrow in the OSX top menu)
- Find this file:
/Users/user/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Use TextEditor to find it and look for (and modify) these fields (use the values shown):
port = 8080
enable_https = 1
https_port = ""
Then start it again.
The next release will have a menu entry to fix this quickly.
