Error when starting

Post by technogroup »

Starting with a fresh install of NAS4Free.

I installed the package with pkg_add -r sabnzbdplus

I then added sabnzbd_enable="YES" to the rc.conf file

When I go to start SAB I get the following:

nas4free:~# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sabnzbd start

Fatal error:
Cannot create INI file /usr/local/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
Specify a correct file or delete this file.
Starting sabnzbd.


When I check the directory there is nothing listed.

I am unable to connect to anything at all.

Any ideas?

You will have to ask the one who created the package.
Those are not made by the SABnzbd team.
It looks like some access rights issue.
Shouldn't you be starting with the "sudo" command?

I dont think I need to sudo but I will erase the installation, start fresh and try it.

Thanks.

sudo not recognized as a command. I used bash instead and received the same error.

I'm afraid you have to ask around on the unraid forum.

Was able to not get the error by changing some permissions. Now the issue is that there is no ini file for me to change the host from localhost to the IP address of the machine. I try to goto http://ip:8080 and nothing comes up. I have even tried IP:8080/sabnzbd and get the same result.

Try to find the startup script.
Then add -s ip:port to the line that starts SABnzbd.py

Will do. I have no idea where it is.

Note that this package is tested against vanilla FreeBSD releases, and not NAS4Free/FreeNAS, or other appliance-type installations. So, in terms of that, I can't really help much in terms of what's going on. I suspect your issue is likely due to the root file system being mounted read-only in these types of systems which are designed to be appliances with their root partitions on solid state media, and as such, the ini file cannot be properly created. Without knowing more, I can only speculate.

I suggest mounting the root partition read-write (mount -u /, or whatever partition /usr/local happens to be on) and attempting to start SABnzbd+ once again (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/sabndbplus onestart).

Wow! It worked. I tried everything and that did the trick. Something so easy was so difficult. I guess I was getting so frustrated and missed thinking of doing that.

Note that if the read-write issue was causing your problem, you may be best advised to symlink /usr/local/sabnzbd (or even /usr/local, provided you copy everything else in there over, too) to a directory on your writable disks and re-mount your root partition as read-only to preserve integrity of the system. Those systems are designed to have a read-only root partition.

In any case, cheers.
