Path for unrar, unzip on nas

Post by manks »

I've installed sabnzbd on my netgear stora and installed unrar and unzip through ipkg but sabnzbd can't find them is there some thing I need  to do to edit the file path to get sab to find them? Thanks.

The PATH environment variable should be such that it includes the path where unrar and unzip are.

Thanks.  Not sure what's happening as SAB is clearly looking for other files.

I've copied the log below.  My Stora doesn't have access to root so I have to start sab in sudo mode and if I want to run a program I always have to run it based on the folder path such as /opt/bin/unrar rarfile.rar so I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not?  Any help gratefully received.

Somewhow SABnzbd receives an incomplete path.
Try starting it from a small shell script.
That way you can add an "echo $PATH" statement, so you can se what's wrong.
You should then start the script as you would normally start SABnzbd.

/opt/bin/python2.5 /opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /opt/etc/sabnzbd.ini -s $ni -s 192.168.1.65:8085


I have copied the above into a script which I use to start sab however I'm not familiar with the echo path function - do you have tips on how to include  the above.

Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

echo $PATH 
will show you the current path.
If it starts invisible, you might need to use output redirection.

Code: Select all

echo $PATH >/tmp/debug.log
You can extend the path with:

Code: Select all

PATH = $PATH:/missing/path
export PATH

Thanks for your patience and support it that worked a treat.  Copied unrar, unzip and par2 across to the outputed directory and its working perfectly now.
