Sabnzbd won't start

Post by Jiruri »

Hi,
I followed this guide to install SABnzbd on Ubuntu 22.4.

I'm running it under my own user, i have changed the owner of the /usr/share/sabnzbdplus folder to my custom user.
Yet when I try to run it (not even as a service) nothing happens.
There are also no logs created in ~/.sabnzbd/

Could you help me out?

Why?!

Anyway:

What happens when you open a terminal, and type

Code: Select all

sabnzbdplus -l2 -b1
and then enter

Because sabnzbd is running as that custom user,
before the owner change it didn't work either actually.

So you have Ubuntu server, it's remote, you're using snap for sabnzbd, you've changed settings of /usr/share/sabnzbdplus folder ... and you're asking for help. That's a bit like driving a car without having a driving license, and then asking for help.

I'm not the right person to help with that.

PS: installling and running SABnzbd on Ubuntu (even on Ubuntu server) is so easy ... just two steps:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install sabnzbdplus
sabnzbdplus -s 0.0.0.0 
Done. But you've done things with snap and directory rights, so the above might not work anymore.
