change location sabnzbd.ini

[v-enom]

hi,

i want to chage the location of sabnzbd.ini. i copies the file to the new location and tried "sabnzbdplus -f /new/folder/sabnzbd.ini". after that i restartet sabnzbd. but the settings are still the same, sabn reads out the information from ini in the old folder.

is it necessary to start sab with -f command very time? i thought after runing this command the programs reads out server information from the new path every time. on my system sab starts with the os. what changes are necessary to use the new location very time sab starts?

Any non-standard ini location needs to be provided to the program on every start or the default will be used. For the sab system service on ubuntu, there's a setting for this in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus.

there's a setting for this in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus.

i know. i tried this

Code: Select all

CONFIG=/path/new/folder/sabnzbd.ini

after reboot, sab uses the default path as befor.

or do you meen the EXTRAOPTS?

CONFIG is the correct one. Start the service with that setting and then check the program's (debug) logs. The ini file used is logged at startup at all but the most minimal log level.
