Fresh Install: Web interface connection refused

[Otsdarva]

Running a fresh install of sabnzbd from the AUR on a fresh install of archlinux.

Sabnzbd starts without errors via systemd. I would post the systemctl output, but some part of it gets resolved as a link and the forum will not permit it.

The journal part of the output just reads

Code: Select all

Jun 26 22:32:04 alexandria1 systemd[1]: Started SABnzbd binary newsreader.

However, when I try to access the WebUI via my browser at http //192 168 1 ##:8080, the connection is refused. I am accessing the headless server on a laptop on the same network.

For troubleshooting purposes, ran

Code: Select all

chmod -R 777 /opt/sabnzbd

which changed nothing. I've installed sab before on the same OS and don't remember having this much trouble. Any ideas?

Ah, from another device? That is remote connection, which a default install of SABnzbd will refuse. Solutions/workarounds:

- on the (headless) server running SABnzbd itself, start a webbrowser, go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/config/general/ and at "SABnzbd Host" fill out 0.0.0.0 (instead of 127.0.0.1)
- Or, find and edit sabzbdn.ini, find "host = 127.0.0.1", change to "host = 0.0.0.0" and restart SABnzbd
- Or, at startup, add " --server 0.0.0.0:8080" to the CLI command

Of course! I probably did the same thing the last time I installed sab. Thanks for the reminder, everything is working properly now.
