SABnzbd Forums

I recently formatted last night and figured I would update Sabnzbd from 0.79 or whatever I was using to the version just released a few days ago.

So far I cannot get it to use a local IP for hostname 192.168 ect.. I have tried leaving the hostname blank or changing it myself. If I change it myself it takes the change but then after I restart the computer sabnzbd continues to close it's self
with http error requests or something along those lines in the error log.

If i leave the hostname blank and save it restarts and it auto detects my 192.168 address and seems to work. As soon as I reboot the computer the hostname is blank still but sabnzbd shows it's back to using 127.0.0.1. Normally this wouldn't matter I guess but I really enjoy using sabconnect++ and remotely adding nzbs from my main computer.

Anyone have a fix for this? I guess I could go back to a older version but I thought it auto updated it's self?

SABConnect++ will work with 127.0.0.1 as long as you tell it to use that address.
If you need access from other sytems within your home network, try 0.0.0.0

Yea I know it works from that system with 127.0.0.1 but not from another machine on the network. WIll try 0.0.0.0 and see it that takes,thanks.

Does not work with 0.0.0.0 either..well this sucks worked just fine before..with new version can't use static ip.

Went back to 0.7.20 and it works great. It gives and option in the setup wizard that you can pick to allow other computers to access on the network which is the same thing as putting the 192.168 address in yourself but this time it works.

Tried all versions after 0.7.20 and none work correctly with static ips.

0.0.0.0 definitely works in SABnzbd 1.0.3 (I run it on my server, and access it via an 192.168... address on another machine in my local network too). Keep in mind, though, that if you have SABnzbd running as a service, merely making changing in the config (via web) won't do. Restart the service with:

SABnzbd-service.exe -f <path> update

(As per the documentation)

Hopefully this has already been answered, and that I understand the problem correctly. I also had a problem where I could not access SABnzbd+ v1.03 from other computers on my local network. I found a new setting in config>general where you have to define the address range of your local network. I don't remember that in V 7.10. but as soon as I filled that in, I was good to go again.
