Just installed Sabnzbd, followed the instructions here /wiki/installation/install-ubuntu-repo and ended up with

Job for sabnzbdplus.service failed because the control process exited with error code

I did read other threads suggesting to reinstall the application, which I have done multiple times to no avail.
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=24875) (not allowed to post links yet)

Any clues on to how to resolve this issue?

Thanks.

Does 'sabnzbdplus' run from the CLI?

Are you on Ubuntu? Which version?

So what from viewtopic.php?f=16&t=24875 did you try & verify?

All of it except this part "sabnzbd/linux/[email protected]" did find a "find / -type d -name "sabnzbd" 2>/dev/null
" and all I got was "/usr/share/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd" and there is no linux dir in there.

Unlike the OP of the other post, I am not in a position to reinstall Ubuntu. I dont mind a Sabnzbdplus reinstall but i havent made any changes that require that.

Update: Seems like I am getting closer.
Reinstalled Sabnzbd and updated the config file in the /etc/default/sabnzbplus as before and now it nearly gets there.

Code: Select all

sabnzbdplus.service - LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus; generated)
     Active: active (exited) since Fri 2021-01-22 20:51:06 UTC; 2s ago
       Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
    Process: 150049 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Jan 22 20:51:06 htps systemd[1]: Starting LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber...
Jan 22 20:51:06 htps systemd[1]: Started LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber.

But it exits...

Update second reinstall but this time I did sudo purge sabnzbdplus and started from there and also had to comment out
CONFIG, HOST, PORT, EXTRAOPTS and just have the username. for it to work.
