SABnzbd Forums

I had one mayor issue with SAB and that was user rights. I just downloaded the exe files and not the setup. I had to change the user right on all files used bu SAB to allow my service-user to access and write to the folders used. Give it a try and see if it helps.

I have SABnzbd.exe 0.3.1 running as a service, following the Wiki guideline.
It just works. Make sure you have the -d option.

Try to start SABnzbd-console.exe from the commandline, exactly they way you start it as a service.
(This way I found out that I had a incorrect INI file.)

This is the relevant content of the register:
