SABnzbd Forums

I recently upgraded to Sabnzbd v7.4.0 and now I cannot start Sabnazbd manually or as a service. I unistalled sabnzbd and when I attempt to reinstall I get the following error output:

tom@rat:~$ sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

I am currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and python 2.6.5. Apologies if there is a simple fix for this - never had an issue with this application before.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What happens when you type "sabnzbdplus <ENTER>" ...

the error on install/upgrade can be circumvented by removing the username from /etc/default/sabnzbdplus. After that, start looking at the programs logs files or run from console for the underlying cause.

Thanks guys for the help. I basically completely removed my Sabnzbd app and also deleted my sabnzbd.ini file in my home directory. I then did a fresh install of sabnzbd. Everything works now - it appears something was going on with my .ini file. I am fully operational now.
