Hi all,

I have recently installed SABnzbd to replace nzbget I was using, I have got most of it set-up, I am still fiddling with some bits and bobs, only thing is, I have only got access working for the machine its hosted on at the moment (my server 2008 box), I want to be able to access this from any machine on the LAN, and also from the WAN (WAN will come later).

I have tried fiddling with the settings in the WebUI config to get it working.

In the first screenshot I have tried setting the host as (192.168.0.3) the machine its hosted on and left the port as default but its still inaccessable from another machine.

I would like to access over HTTPS if possible

No matter what way I config this, I try to access this GUI from another machine by the address:

https://192.168.0.3:9090/sabnzbd

But it fails to load

Anyone know what I am doing wrong on this config?

A couple of possible explanations:

1) You mention this is installed on a Windows Server 2008 box; is there a firewall enabled? A firewall could well be blocking incoming connections on port 9090;

2) I'm assuming you've restarted SABnzbd+ after changing the configuration? Remote access requires a restart of the software.

Your configuration all looks fine. I've got SABnzbd+ running on a couple of my servers with remote access exactly as you've configured it, no problems :)

1) I will check the firewall now and report back



2) SABnzbd has been restarted after any config change
 
Yep it was the firewall on the Microserver :) I don't know why I didnt check that tbh

Thanks for that :)

I am quite impressed :D when I first signed up about a year ago to Usenet I have just been using nzbget which is a CLI app and is one of the most basic clients out there.

Coming to this I am liking the automation, how you can use from another machine, the auto-repair, it seems to be treating my downloads a lot better, gaining a lot more speed than nzbget where I was maybe hitting around 1.7MB/s of my 1.9MB/s bandwidth.

SABnzbd+ seems to be hitting the full 1.9MB/s.

Havnt had a broken download yet which is unusual :)
 
Just another quick question, as this server is an unmanned server on boot, is there anyway to get the SANnzbd+ server to start without logging in to Windows? I have added it to "startup" folder, however in order for me to load the WebGUI on another machine, I have to log in as a user.

This will obviously be an issue from boot, and when I log off when using remote desktop.

I don't think there are any services that can run when logged off. You should use it as an excuse to build a nice shiny linux box :P.

There must be a way, think ill have to post on their forums :)

I did try linux (Ubuntu), but found it a pain :p
 
Just install it as a service with admin run credentials. It will then run without logging into the box after a reboot or w/e.

Why HTTPS by the way? Have you externalised the 9090 to real world? If you're keeping it internally accessed there isn't much point to secured http :P.

If you were using username/pass I might suggest that you used https if you allowed external network access, otherwise not much point.

There seem to be a lot of 'hacks' to allow you to run any .exe file as a service but in the end I got bored and just created a batch file that's set to run as a scheduled task on start-up as the Admin account.

This starts up SAB, Sick Beard and Couch Potato for me and has been working perfectly.

My batch file looks like this:

Code: 
start /min /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd" SABnzbd.exe
start /min /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\CouchPotato" CouchPotato.exe
start /min /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\SickBeard" SickBeard.exe

Then just go to task scheduler and add basic task and you're away!
 
I've set up NSSM and all is working perfectly (and in the proper way!)

Cheers for that rexehuk

NP. Batch files are handy, but services are the proper way to do it :).

Amusingly, (or not had I actually bought it :p) I was looking into buying a program that seems to function in exactly the same way as NSSM that's mentioned on a few forums regarding WHS2011 and running programs as services - the name escapes me though.
