broken sabnzb install ubuntu

Post by gimpacause »

hi guys i've just started having issues with sabnzb on ubuntu server (14.04, Headless server) everything was running great until today when i tried to loginto the webui from my main pc, i have attempted to uninstall and re-install sabnzb but still cannot get the service to start, this is the output when i try to start the service

Code: Select all

***@ubuntu:~$ sudo service sabnzbdplus start
 * Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber                                  [fail]
i'm fairly new to ubuntu but know my way around the cli (i'm using ssh from a client pc)

how would i go about nuking the entire install and starting from scratch


many thanks in advance

Better start with checking the program logs and see why it fails. Set debug logging if need be (-l2 command line option).
