Please help a noob set up...

Post by Rahonui »

Hi,
After using Newsbin pro for a few years, I've decided to make the switch. I was able to set up the basics, but now I'm getting errors when I try to start sabnzbd back up. Firefox is giving an unable to connect error when I type in 127.0.0.1:8080 (left everything at default for the moment...). I tried using internet explorer, out of curiosity, but had a similar message. It started up fine once I downloaded and initially set it all up, which is what seems odd to me.

I'm running windows 10 (64bit, if it matters), eset nod 32 and malware bytes.

Test downloads via xsnews and astraweb/block news all worked fine.

Thanks

You have to start SABnzbd itself.

So: find it, start it, then 'access' SAB's gui via 127.0.0.1:8080 in your webbrowser

Well that's embarrassing... Couldn't find it, turns out I had just run the .exe from the rar file originally... lol

All sorted now, thank you
