addition to manual

Post by dkcrainnybt »

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to say this, but I would like to add something to the linux quicksetup guide.

After setting up sabnzbd like as in the guide:
sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus
sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus-theme-smpl
sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus-theme-plush

I would like to add this:

After installation type:  "sudo nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus"

This open a screen where you have to fill in your username

# [required] user or uid of account to run the program as:
USER=yourusernamehere

When your done save and exit using "ctrl-o" and "ctrl-x"

When the file is saved type: "service sabnzbdplus start"
this will start sabnzbdplus and you can access it in your browser by typing: "http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/"

I hope can be added, thanks in advance.

The Wiki page already says:
It will only work after you edit /etc/default/sabnzbdplus as per instructions in that file.

Thanks for the instructions however, I will probably add them to the download page.

Touching that file is only necessary if a user chooses to use the init script and run the program as a service on system boot, which is a nice way to do things but by no means required. Additionally, it might be useful to add that the install instructions also apply to Debian (sid/unstable only).
