Cannot Connect to https web interface

Post by bishop62 »

I'm a noob at this, I updated to 2.2 and can no longer connect to https://localhost/9095/sabnzb where as I used to. I no get "Can’t connect securely to this page".

I have firewall exceptions to allow the sab exes' - in c:\program files\sabnzbd

in the General section I have Enable https checked - verified that the port name in advanced was cleared

here is my setup
Version: 2.2.0 [b061e58]
OS: Windows 10
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin Plush - gold
Firewall Software: Norton Internet Security
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

thanks

I have resolved the issue - instead of using localhost I changed it to 127.0.0.1 and it now connects.

This is not SABnzbd, but it is your browser that has decided that the certificates SABnzbd provides are not safe.
Since SABnzbd is generating it's own self-signed certificates, this is to be expected. You just have to tell your browser that this is fine. Depends on your browser, but usually you have to click Advanced on the warning page and then Allow or Add Exception.

That, or use plain HTTP to connect to SABnzbd. So normally http://127.0.0.1:8080/ aka http://localhost:8080/
