can't change email notification

Post by paksen »

I must have permissions horked up some where. I'm just not sure where.
I'm trying to change my email password. Whenever I hit save changes under email notification, it says failed.
I can make changes to other settings just fine.

Any help?

Thanks,

Paksen

Stop SABnzbd, and then manually edit sabnzbd.ini?

I think the password might be stored elsewhere and not in the ini. If I look thru the ini file my old email password isn't in there. However I gave your suggestion a try with the only field that said password and that didn't work.

The password field is your global sabnzbd password to login to the interface. You should set email_lassword or something like that.
Quite possible a password manager or your browser has overwritten the email password accidentally.!

Found it! the field is email_pwd

Can I move all the email_ fields near each other so it's easier to find the next time I hork it up?

Yes you can, but it's a bit weird that you can't edit it using the interface.. Can you change any settings? Like categories?
You should fix your permissions problem if you can't change any settings!
