Help new to Linux and made a mistake with installing...

[PC_Arcade]

I followed this guide at linuxbabe.assuming (wrongly it would work on ubuntu server 18.04.

I attempted to remove it (sudo apt remove sabnzbdplus) and reinstall using the correct procedure shown on the SABnzb siute

But now when I attempt to start sabnzbd as a service I get : Job for sabnzbdplus.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status sabnzbdplus.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
and systemctl status shows:

Code: Select all

 sabnzbdplus.service - LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus; generated)

if start sabnzbplus I get no error, but when I browse to the ubuntu machines ip (192.168.0.5:8080) no web page shows just "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.5:8080."

I'm new to Linux and don't know how to get out of the mess I've made! please help!

start SAB like this:

Code: Select all

sabnzbdplus -s 0.0.0.0

... then you can access it from other devices on your LAN

I've got the first bit working!!!

I started with sabnzbdplus -s 192.168.0.5 and it works!

I noticed in the startup it was attempting to start the server on 192.168.0.100 (presumably as the Linux box is headless, the ip is being read from the box I'm sshing in from)

SO part one done!!

I've just tried again and it's working as a service too!
