SabNZBd + Firefox + no IPV6 problems

Post by Snake »

Hi,

I've got the SabNZBd 4.1.2 (latest) on Windows 7 x64 edition. Then I'm using Firefox with 'network.dns.disableIPv6' set to 'true' (because it speeds up debugging on websites on localhost!!!).

But now I can't call SabNZBd anymore. It does run, it works in IE, so it's something with the SabNZBd's webserver.

There is nothing in the SabNZBd log, nor the Cherrypy's log.

By default sabnzbd listens on localhost, which in vista and windows 7 resolves to an ipv6 address.

Either set sabnzbd to listen on a ipv4 address (such as 127.0.0.1 or your local ip address) or enable ipv6 in firefox.

Setting the address for sabnzbd to listen on can be done at program launch through the command line. (ie close the running sabnzbd instance first) Start->Run

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" -s 127.0.0.1:8080
