Cannot create file "...sabnzb.ini"

Post by Caesius »

I've installed sabnzbd today on Ubuntu 9.04 server (headless) using the unofficial repositories.

After the installation I edited /etc/default/sabnzbdplus to this:
USER=caesius
CONFIG=
HOST=192.168.1.20
PORT=8080
EXTRAOPTS=

Which should be enough to my knowledge? I rebooted the server to see if sabnzbd would start correctly. It didnt, and I got the following error: Could not create file "/home/caesius/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini" during boot.

I checked it out and found the file to be there (I configured it already to my wishes). I checked the file permissions and they seem to be fine and I even changed the /etc/default/sabnzbplus owner and group to caesius. It didnt help.

The stange thing is starting sabnzbd by /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start does work, and doesnt give me an error at all.

Did I not configure it properly?
