SABnzbd Forums

Hello.

I'm on Windows 10, and I recently renamed my user profile and profile folder.
Sab is still trying to use the old user folder.
Sab won't start.

I reinstalled sab, still won't start.

Is there a config file I can edit to point it to my renamed user folder? If so, where is it located?

Yes: sabnzbd.ini

Thank you for the reply. I have to manually run Sab in order to get it to start with a command line switch ""C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server 127.0.0.1:8081" which I edit to add my LAN IP and port.

Sab is looking for the old user directory and creating a new default .ini when I try to start it. How can I point it to my new user directoy?

So if I follow the fresh start on the wiki, the Sab wizard will start. As soon as I try to change the port for http and https, Sab will not start. I am looking at the log and I get the error below. I have tried running as administrator:

Edit: I guess I cannot copy/paste the part of the log with the error, I'm new and it thinks I am posting links.

I would do this:

Make sure SABnzbd is not running
move sabnzbd.ini and sabnzbd.ini.bak to other names / location
start SABnzbd like this:

"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server 0.0.0.0:8080"

That should give you the SAB wizard.

I'm having no problem getting the wizard, the problem arises when I try to change the ports. Whenever I change them to what I need then Sab won't start.

Probably a Windows firewall problem. Or port is already in use by another process.

I used Sysinternals TCPview and the 2 ports are open, nothing using them. Sab is allowed through the firewall, but I turned it off just in case. Still no joy.

With
you can also see ports that are in use.

Anyway, then I have a few suggestions left:

- run SABnzbd as administrator
- don't change the port
- contact the vendor of the firewall on your Windows
- contact the administrator of your system
- or do a fresh install of windows, without firewall etc
