Sabnzbd won't listen on other IP than localhost (Ubuntu 9.10)

Hi,

I'm using Sabnzbd 0.4.12 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Desktop). I'm trying to get it to listen to 192.168.0.2 (the ip address of my server) instead of localhost, but both 0.0.0.0 and the ip address won't work. Everytime I restart Sab, it'll use the localhost again. I tried to set it by hand in my sabnzbd.ini, but it resets to localhost.

If anyone has an idea, I'd welcome it

Does your computer have a hostname set and configured correctly?

What happens when you specify a blank hostname in your config

Code: Select all

host =

(should listing on your local ipv4 address.

I have noticed some odd behaviour in Ububtu 9.10.
It looks like 0.0.0.0 is just treated (by Ubuntu) as localhost.
I'll look into it.

The meaning of 0.0.0.0 is listen on all available host addresses.
This should be localhost and the IP.
For some reason this does not work on Ubuntu 9.10.

If I put in my external ip (192.168.0.2) it just resets. Sabnzbd won't listen to anything else than localhost on my Ubuntu install.

Thanks for the effort

Try the system's name or just nothing as host.

Problem remains the same: it just resets to localhost the next time I start it.

How is sabnzbd launched? Sounds like it is being launched with -s localhost:8080 which would change it to localhost on every startup.

Bingo, found it. /etc/init.d/sabnzbd contains a link to /etc/default/sabnzbdplus. It is there where the networksettings are stored and used. This occurs at Ubuntu 9.10 and with the box-standard sabnzbd package (apt-get install sabnzbd)

Thanks, editing this file solved my problem of the host name getting reset after restarting the deamon.
