SABnzbd Forums

I'm on precise and everything is working fine except I can't get the folders I want working (the rest of the settings "stick" but the folders always reset to the default Downloads/incomplete & Downloads/complete).

I'm trying to use:
/mnt/raid5/temp/watch -> /mnt/raid5/temp/appstemp -> /mnt/raid5/purgatory
777

The same user set in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus is the user that created all the sub folders under raid5. I know that config file is being read because the port I set for the webui in there works.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

SABnzbd defaults to defaulf folder settings when the target directories are not available at the moment SABnzbd starts up.

So ... could that be the cause for your case?

If so: solution: delayed start up of SAB

I don't think that is it because I can restart just SABnzbd and it loses the directories immediately.

Figured it out. I had created the folders with the Samba account "version" of that user. Deleted those folders and recreated them from the terminal. All is well.
