Installing SABnzbd on Debian

Stanislav KhromovStanislav Khromov

Add a contrib line to /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy contrib

Then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus

Now we’re gonna edit the configuration:

vim /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

Now set:

USER=root

Note

USER should ideally be set to an unprivileged user, but it doesn’t seem to be working properly on Debian Wheezy, which still runs SABnzbd 0.6.15.

Now we’re enabling it on boot and starting it:

chkconfig sabnzbdplus on
service sabnzbdplus start

After this you can browse to the following address to finish configuration in your browser: http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd

(Or exchange 127.0.0.1 for the remote IP where you are installing SABnzbd)

    I found your site and got SAB running on OpenMediaVault (it’s Debian based). When I try to run the chkconfig command though, it won’t work. Is there another way to get this to auto start?

      Hey Mountain,
      Did you try installing chkconfig first? To install, run:
      sudo apt-get install chkconfig

      After that, run the provided command to enable startup. Cheers!

    I followed your guide however even though the service appears to be running and netstat -apon | grep -i listen | grep -vi listening
    says that SAB is running on 8080 I can’t load a web page for 10.1.10.5:8080 on my LAN. Any ideas?

      Check netstat -lntp if sabnzbd is listening on 0.0.0.0. (or on your network ip, 10.x.x.x), if not, need to configure Host: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-general-0-7

      Also, from local computer (where sabnzbd is installed) try:

      wget -O - http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd

      If you get output back, means service is working, but only listening locally.

      Hope that helps.

        I get

        Try `wget –help’ for more options.

          I missed a dash, the proper command is:

          wget -O - http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd

          But you can see the python process is listening on 127.0.0.1:8080 so there’s your problem, change the config file Host info, as per my first post. You can find the config file easily with this command:

          find / -name sabnzbd.ini

            I don’t see the setting change that you are talking about but I understand what I need to change now. Thanks for your time.
