Strange Permission Denied errors when starting

[yesimnathan]

Hey guys. I'm sorry to bug you but this issue has really got me pulling my hair out. Last year I experienced some weird issues with sabnzbd and took the lazy way out (rather than fixing them, used nzbget for a while). I'm trying to sort these issues out now but I'm just not having any luck. Below is some relevant information (Ubuntu version and the data in my error log). I'm starting sabnzbd with the init script generally but starting it with "sabnzbdplus -d -b 0" is producing the same result.

$ cat /etc/issue

Exception in thread HTTPServer Thread-9:

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!

Port number below 1024? Post a log of program startup to be sure.

I'm using port 8080 (and I've ensured that nothing else is using that port). I've also tried a few other random ports just to be sure (8082, 8085, etc...). Same error.

Code: Select all

$ sudo /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start
 * Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber                                                      [ OK ] 
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus status
 * SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: not running

I would do this:

Open a terminal, type 'sabnzbdplus' <ENTER>, see what happens, and post the output here.
