Version: 0.6.15
OS: Gentoo Linux (kernel 3.1.0-rc9)
Install-type: python source (ebuild)
Skin (if applicable): Plush and Classic - darkblue
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

I successfully installed SABnzbd on Gentoo Linux given this ebuild, but when i try to perform any action which requires the session key I get the following error:

Error: Session Key Required

If i look in the url there is just session= but no actual session key.

I'm temporarily running it as root to be sure there are no permission issues.
I tried firefox and internet explorer. Both don't have significant configuration changes or extensions installed.
Both the Plush and Classic - darkblue theme have the same problem
The log files don't show anything worth mentioning

Does anyone know where to look for this problem?

P.S.
I know my code (not python specifically), so it's no problem if I have to debug something.

The above looks 100% correct by itself. But what are you doing that asks for a session key? API programming? Because the normal web interface does not need a session key AFAIK.

Check the ~/.sabzbd/sabnzbd.ini file.
Check if there is an apikey defined.
Look for
api_key =
If all fails you can disable the key:
disable_api_key = 1

BTW: stop SABnzbd before editing the ini file.

Yes! That actually works! There was no API key, so I temporarily copied the NZB key to the API key and generated a new one afterwards.

I found that in the installation sabnzbd.ini there is also no API key. Nonetheless, this is no bug, and i'm sorry I made it look like it was.
Thank you.
