Sabnzbd not accessible after update

Post by BounceMeister »

Today i upgraded sabnzbd from 1.1 to 2.1 (latest version, downloaded today) using the installer (not the zip).
System: Windows 10
I use this pc as a "home server" using a standard windows 10, some shared folders and sabnzbd. Nothing speacial.
I access sabnzbd from another pc in my home network.

With version 1.1 i could log out the user on the homeserver, leave the system at login screen, and sabnzbd would still be accessible from all pc's in the network.
Now, with version 2.1, it only works when the user is logged in on homeserver. When i log out the user on homeserver, sabnzbd is no longer accessible.

I followed these steps to set sabnzbd as a service:
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/sabnz ... ws-service
and changed the first command to "cd "C:\Program Files\Sabnzbd"", since sabnzbd is installed there automatically.

As i couldn't get this working, i stopped all the services, uninstalled sabnzbd (everything, program and settings), rebooted and reinstalled everything. Then ran sabnzbd locally and set language, provider and folders.

Then i did this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Sabnzbd"
SABnzbd-helper.exe install
sc config SABhelper start= auto
net start SABhelper
SABnzbd-service.exe -f "%localappdata%\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini" install
sc config SABnzbd start= auto
net start SABnzbd

Now, i can't even acces sabnzbd when the user is logged in, so in settings the standard port sabnzbd listens to is 127.0.0.1, i changed it to 0.0.0.0. Now i can get to sabnzbd when the user is logged in, but not when the user is logged out.

I have spent three hours on this now, please help.

When installing SABnzbd, did you select it to start at startup in the installer?

Try going into the windows services menu (Run > services) and see what it says for SABnzbd and SABnzbd Helper, check all the settings like Startup Type and maybe set an account at the Log On tab.

Thanks.
Yes, i selected start at startup while installing.
I deleted the firewall and reinstalled it, then some windows 10 updates were pushed through and now it is magically working again...
