SABnzbd Forums

hi,
standard server 2008 installation.

first thing i wanted to run is sabnzbd.
I used instsrv.exe (probably from server 2003 resource kit) and the service installed succesfull. After i give the command to start te service, a progress bar runs but times out after 30 seconds.
The service seems running! i can use the interface in the 30 seconds but stops.

message i get:
Windows could not start the SABNZBD service on Local Computer
Errpr 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Did you also use anysrv.exe run actually run SABnzbd?
Also, I'm not sure that RK2003 tools work.

An alternative is to run it as a scheduled task.

did the ansrv.exe method again (followed the most common tutorial) and it now works.
i used local paths like c:\sabnzbd instead of c:\program files (x86) etc.. and that made the difference..

thanks!
