Problems while starting the first time

[nimanic]

Hi,

on my last installations the sabnzbd was working without any problems but this time i have this failure.

Code: Select all

sudo service sabnzbdplus start
 * Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber
** (sabnzbdplus:3667): WARNING **: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=02e8920755914f84ef89296f00000007 --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
Error:
Can't write to logfile
                                                                                             [fail]

Progress:
1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/ppa
2. sudo apt-get update
3. apt-get install sabnzbdplus
4. sabnzbdplus:
Installiert: 0.7.12-0ubuntu1~jcfp1~precise

5. i than directly changed the /etc/defaults/sab... configuration to enable the service.
6. than i startetd the service with "sudo service sabnzbdplus start"
7. i got the above mentioned failure

I am not interested in any X11 output or anything, i am doing anything from remote.

Thanks for your help and ideas.

Find the sabnzbd.ini file and make sure it contains this line:
ntfosd_enable = 0

No change at all :-(

I Pput it right at the beginning, is this ok or does it have to be somewhere else?

[shypike]

That's not the sabnzbd.ini file.
Check your $HOME/.sabnzbd folder first or use "find".

[jcfp]

As shypike said, the sabnzbd.ini is the program's settings file, not the startup script in /etc/init.d/. See http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc19 for the (default) locations on various operating systems.

You will have to fix this error first though:

Error:
Can't write to logfile

Without write access to its log file, the program will refuse to run backgrounded. This error is typically a permissions issue (wrong ownership on an existing log file?).

[nimanic]

Hi,

thanks for your help, sorry for the wrong file.

That was the problem, i have no idea, why the permission are different from thee last times but changing it to 777 make it work.

Thanks a lot for your help
