"SABnzbd Host" setting doesn't stick

Every time I reboot my computer, "SABnzbd Host" comes up as 127.0.0.1. In order to access the server over WiFi, I have to go to config/general, clear the value in "SABnzbd Host", save settings and restart the server. I also tried setting the specific IP address of my system. Either way, after a reboot it goes back to 127.0.0.1.
The "SABnzbd Host" setting value ought to survive a reboot.

What do you set it to now?
Normally 0.0.0.0 would be the right choice for your situation.

I had tried making it blank and entering the actual IP (192.168.1.60) on which I wanted it to respond. I hadn't thought of using 0.0.0.0, which also didn't work, but then I realized what was going on. I've been running "SABnzbd - SafeMode" because at some point in the past there was some problem that I don't remember (crashing or failing to start), and running SafeMode fixed it. That also seems to force the IP address to 127.0.0.1.
I just tried setting 0.0.0.0, shutting down and running the non-SafeMode version. That worked fine.
Is there a reference listing the differences between normal mode and SafeMode? All I could find is an entry "SABnzbd won't start!" in
http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq saying that you can use SafeMode like I did, to work around a start-up problem.

"Safe mode" forces SABnzbd back to the default mode.
It's a bit obsolete now that we have the Windows Tray icon with its troubleshooting menu.
I will remove it from the installer.

This is happening to me as well. My host setting won't stick - I'm on a Mac, am running SABnzbd from an .app.
Is my /Library/Application Support/SABnzbd directory even used any more since I switched to using an .app?
I checked, and the sabnzbd.ini file DOES have it set properly - to 0.0.0.0, but every time I reboot - it seems to go back to "localhost" and will not start.
- Thanx for any help!

On some systems SABnzbd has trouble finding out what 0.0.0.0 means.
You could try using the system's local IP address.

Ah. Thanks. Seems to have worked. At least - I can start SABnzbd with the app now.
