SABnzbd Forums

Just installed Sabnzbd for the first time.

Looking to change the default base folder with the -f parameter (as outlined at /wiki/advanced/command-line-parameters in the wiki)

It is currently set to:
"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -f "C:\SABnzbd Files\sabnzbd.ini"

There is an INI file at that location.

When i start sabnzbd it still shows the one in my user profile.

What am i missing??????

I've tried with and without quotes around the ini file.

This should be as easy as clicking an elliptical and changing it right on screen. Unnecessarily complicated.

Before you issue that command, make sure there is NO sabnzbd running. Check with your windows process viewer.

And, then, issue:

"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd-console.exe" -f "C:\SABnzbd Files\sabnzbd.ini"

Then watch the line

So: "Using INI file"

Ahh! Didn't realize it was running as a service. Thanks.

Day one for me...
