Question - Linux

[earthcoder]

Hello

I been using sabnzbd for quite some time now,

But  my windows based server needed a change so set up ubuntu on it, i got sabnzbd working fine on it as localhost but when i try and connect to it from windows machine it wont work, i changed config and removed localhost like i did in windows version i used to use, but it would not allow me to log in to sabnzbd or windows machine could not see it.

any ideas on how i can make it work so i can see the site from my windows machine

any help would be great!

ps MY LINUX knowledge is very crapo,.. 1st time installed today

you need to set it to listen to the IP of your ubuntumachine (or your outside machine if you also want to axx it from outside.)

When you want to connect to the server in your local network , on your windows machine type :

http://iplinuxmachine:port/sabnzbd/

and then you should be able to axx it

On the Linux machine itself, can you access http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ ?

If so:
What's the IP address of the Linux machine? You can find out with "ifconfig" (or "/sbin/ifconfig"). It could be something like 192.168.1.38 or 10.0.0.90.
If you've found that address, on the Linux machine itself, can you access SABnzbd via that IP address, for example http://192.168.1.38:8080/sabnzbd/ ?
If not, you have filled out "0.0.0.0" as Host in Config -> General, and then restarted SABnzbd

If so, can you use that same URL from the Windows machine?
If not, can you ping the IP address of the Linux machine from the Windows machine?

adding 0.0.0.0 to config fixed it

Thanks for your help

And Happy New Year!
