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
 
No worries, happy SABnzbd-ing :D

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.
