Wizard not appearing after reinstall

Post by ash1111 »

Hi
I'm using Mac Lion.

I downloaded SABnzbd+ (Mod 17 Oct 2011) (Plush) and worked great. Then I tried changing port number so that I could use my SSL option. Since then when I click on SAB app the Plush page no longer opens - in fact nothing opens.
I have tried to uninstall SAB and reinstall but every time I do that the set up Wizard does not appear so I can't remedy my error.
Any ideas?

Thanks
John

Find sabnzbd.ini (probably in ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini ) and find the first line that says "port". What does that line say?

Hi Sander
Thanks for the quick reply.
I read your earlier posts to other member probs and so have already searched the whole of the SAB contents and can't find the "ini". Is it pushing the friendship if I ask you as to how else I might find it?

I just accessed the "ini" file. The first (from the top) port reference is 9090 the second port reference is what I changed it to 443.

So: 9090?

What do you get when you access

https://localhost:9090/
https://127.0.0.1:9090/

or

http://localhost:9090/

Is SABnzbd running at all? Check with:

netstat -an | grep -i listen

and

ps -ax | grep -i sabnzbd

(Type the above commands in a terminal on your Mac)

OSX does not allow ports below 1024 to be used by user-level apps.
So 443 will not work.

I checked the Activity Monitor and SABnzbd is running (did you want me to still do the checks you suggested?)

Shypike
Thanks for that. Do you know how I can change it back?

Stop SABnzbd.
Edit the file sabnzbd.ini directly (TextEditor).

Working perfectly.
Just curious... why wouldn't wizard appear when I was trying to reinstall?

Because the settings are still there in:
/Users/user/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
