SABnzbd as a Service not working [Windows]

So i have a new Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machine spun up, I'm trying to install SABnzbd on it and run as a service (so i don't have to log in trigger the auto-start)
I followed the wiki guide here and i see both the SABnzbd-service, and the helper service running, but even from the virtual machine localhost doesn't work until i manually start the program from C:\program files\Sabnzbd.
SABnzbd was installed with admin privileges on a standard user PVR account, but i modified the services to run under the Administrator account as it wasn't working under the 'local machine' default.
Is there something I'm missing? Any advice would be appreciated.

Did you specify the path to the sabnzbd.ini correctly?
I would see if in that path, in the admin folder, you can inspect the log.
Let' see if it's binding correctly to the ports and which port.
Maybe the firewall is blocking it.

The helper service started but the SABnzbd service will not start. Then try to start it and look in the logs after starting it normally.

I suddenly got the same problem. I had this working on the same machine for a while. I was on 2.3.2 then. I tried to upgrade to 2.3.8 but still the service doesn't start. I get the following error in event viewer:
The instance's SvcRun() method failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "win32serviceutil.pyo", line 839, in SvcRun
File "SABnzbd.pyo", line 1609, in SvcDoRun

File "SABnzbd.pyo", line 265, in Bail_Out
File "sabnzbd\misc.pyo", line 835, in exit_sab
SystemExit: 2

Any tips gurus?
Thanks

Never seen it before. Maybe you can remove the services completly and add them (both) again?
Also make sure sabnzbd can run not as a service, with this sabnzbd.ini, maybe it's a configuration problem.
Or maybe a permissions problem?

Yeah i tried those things.
Reinstalled the services, still only the helper starts.
Sabnzbd runs fine it's not the ini-file.
I also tried to run the service as an administrator, that doesn't work either.
I guess i'll have to live with it, thanks for the tips though

Stopped the installed sabnzbd service from starting automatically at windows logon then starting sabnzbd from the desktop.

You could also just add SABnzbd to your Start-up programs if you only want it to run on logon, the service-approach is to get it to run also without logon.
Is there any more to the error you get? Can you inspect some logs when you try to start SABnzbd?

Yeah but i want to run this without login because my usage for it is a server with vpn, sabnzbd and scp running only. I rarely login into it.
Well sure, here is the fault from sabnzbd:

I don't understand the error: "The requested address is not valid in its context"
Could this be related?
What other logs and where would be useful for us to look at? I really want to fix this so i'm willing to troubleshoot extensively.
Thanks

I removed the address in the address field in the config to empty and the service now starts! Yippie!
But i still can't access sabnzbd before i login. What am i missing?

Turns out the error i got was related and the address field could not be empty. I looked in the documentation and the field needs "::" to accept incoming requests on the local address.
I don't understand why this stopped working, but know the service runs perfectly! Thanks for all the help!

192.168.1.200 this has to be the IP adress assigned to your PC by your router. So it could be that due to DHCP your PC got a new router.
In that case it can't bind to 192.168.1.200 anymore.

Apologies for resurrecting a dead thread but I'm running into this issue running a Server 2019 install on an HP Z620 tower. Helper service starts without issue, when the saznzbd service starts I get an error and this is what is in the event viewer.
The instance's SvcRun() method failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "win32serviceutil.pyo", line 839, in SvcRun
File "SABnzbd.pyo", line 1615, in SvcDoRun
File "SABnzbd.pyo", line 1015, in main
File "SABnzbd.pyo", line 265, in Bail_Out
File "sabnzbd\misc.pyo", line 836, in exit_sab
SystemExit: 2
%2: %3
What I am noticing as I monkey with it is there is no log update in the saznzbd.log file related to the service when I attempt to start it, but when I manually shutdown the launched instance and go start the service it seems to start without complaint. I need to do a bit more testing and see but it seems to run into a conflict when you are connected and the console launcher is active. Not sure why it didn't work before I RDP'd in yet but will report back with more information.
Just thought this might be useful for others.
