Setting Up On CentOS Server

[Robin Hood]

I'm sorry in advance for my complete lack of skill with setting things up on my server.

I'm using the installation guide from http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-on-centos-5-5. I believe I had to change the last command.

And, for a short period of time I'll be able to see the script by going to my server's IP:8080/sabnzbd/.

However, it doesn't seem to stay there (and I haven't been able to get it to stay up) and I've never been able to get it to download anything.

Thank you so much for the help! I'm new to Usenet in general, but have found your program VERY helpful!

What did you use as "the last command"?
If you start it from an ssh terminal, you need to run it in daemon mode.

I used:

Code: Select all

python26 SABnzbd-0.6.7/SABnzbd.py -s 0.0.0.0:8080

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to run it in daemon mode? Would you be so kind as to share that command with me? I'm so excited by the idea of being able to download from Usenet directly to my server!

Thanks for helping me out! =D

for demon you use : -d

So instead of:

Code: Select all

python26 SABnzbd-0.6.7/SABnzbd.py -s 0.0.0.0:8080

I'd use:

Code: Select all

python26 SABnzbd-0.6.7/SABnzbd.py -d 0.0.0.0:8080

[shypike]

No, it's

Code: Select all

python26 SABnzbd-0.6.7/SABnzbd.py -d -s 0.0.0.0:8080

And upgrade to 0.6.8.

EDIT: Everything is fine. For some reason I had to change the port to 7777, but I upgraded to 0.6.8 and now things seem to be going VERY well (knock on wood).

Thank you all SOO much! This community has been WAY more helpful than I would have anticipated!

Are you sure you stopped sabnzbd that was running on 8080 ??

[Robin Hood]

How would I be sure of such a thing? When I go to SERVER_IP:8080 I don't get anything.

If I wanted to ask about settings, should I open a new thread? I'll try to snoop around some to see if the answers are there (I've read the wiki on it).

At my house here I can download at about 7 MB/s (the limit of my internet speed) with 50 connections, and 120M for the amount to be stored to RAM. However, on my server (with a 1 gbps) with the same settings I'm getting significantly slower results. I've tried lowering the connections to 20 (as per the wiki) but to no avail. I also tried increasing the connections (as per my stupid intuition, I suppose).

Thank you all once again! I'm really blown away by how helpful you've been!
