Run SABnzbd+ 0.5.0Beta6 daemon at startup on Ubuntu 9.10 64bit
Posted: January 15th, 2010, 6:48 pm
I have been using SABnzbd+ 0.5.0Beta5 on Windows 7 64bit for a couple weeks and I decided to setup SABnzbd+ 0.5.0Beta6 on my new file server running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I'm no expert with both SABnzbd and Ubuntu but I learn fast so please be patient.
I followed this guide, http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntuserver804 but instead of getting 0.4.11 I used the following link to get 0.5.0Beta6. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/projec ... rror=voxel
Compiling seemed to work well and I can launch the SABnzbd daemon manually with the instructions on the wiki install guide. I set everything up via the web interface and it all seems to be working.
So far my only problem is that the daemon does not seem to be automatically loading when Ubuntu boots up. I have configured the /etc/default/sabnzbplus file with my USER, CONFIG, HOST & PORT info. AFAIK the script at /etc/init.d/sabnzbplus has been added as a startup script but to be sure I removed it with and re added it with After a reboot, the daemon still was not running.
Then I removed the sabnzbdplus script from rc.d and following the instructions here, http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-as-a-unix-daemon to created my own startup script with the particulars for my install and following the suggestions here, http://forums.sabnzbd.org/http://forums ... 5332#p5332 I seem to have it working.
I don't know why the install daemon didn't work, I also don't know where to see a log of errors if it was actually trying. Like I mentiond earlier, I'm quite new to the *nix world. Any comments on what might have gone wrong with the original daemon would be appreciated.
Thanks.
