500 Internal Server Error

Post by jonny037 »

After years of using SAB I suddenly get this message when trying to adjust settings. It also makes it impossible for SAB to work now as it complains of access denied and other objections not formerly stated or a problem. Help please? I have reinstalled the program only to see it has the same problems as before.

I don't know what pastebin is but thank you for responding. I am on a Mac Laptop using Big Sur and have been using SAB with my Vivaldi webrowser very successfully for over a year now. Don't know what suddenly went tits up with the whole arrangement.

I can't find a way to reset the temp folder either. When I go to settings it brings up the same screen:

500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
At the end of many lines which I am not allowed to paste here sadly I get the last line which is:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: "/Volumes/Hadji's TV Warehouse"

What is "/Volumes/Hadji's TV Warehouse"? An internal disk, or a mountable disk like a USB or NAS drive?

OK, so:

500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

That is a file system permission problem. Or the USB drive is not accessible at all. Not something SABnzbd can solve; only you can.

If you cannot solve it, I would do this:
stop SABnzbd
remove SABnzbd
remove sabnzbd.ini and sabnzbd.ini.bak
install SABnzbd to your local drive ... you should get the wizard. If not, repeat the previous steps.
keep the folders local.

Not sure where sabnzbd.ini and sabnzbd.ini.bak might be hiding so I can toss them but my computer cannot seem to locate them via a search.

Again thanks for your patience and help Sander.

See https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/directory-setup

So, on MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
