sabnzbd+ and zussaweb interface for hellanzb

[psilo357]

well, i have used this app on windows for quite some time for downloading nzb files from newzbin. It has some ebuilds posted online, with the following scripts:

sabnzbd-0.4.2.ebuild
files/sabnzbd-0.4.2-gentoo-setup.py
/files/sabnzbd-0.4.2-ini
/files/sabnzbd.conf
/files/sabnzbd.init

from http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=553.0

my main question is how do i use this stuff? I cannot find a guide to show me how/where to put everything, and exactly how to use all the scripts, there is also some ebuilds posted here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132590

for a newer version. A link to a guide or some help with how to actually use this would be great. Also, if you have any other recommendations for a nzb client that would be fine and well too. I tried hellanzb, but could not ever get it to work, but since i have experience with sabnzbd+ i figure it should be easy for me to use, as long as i can get it installed...

thanks

a little more searching makes it look like it is in an overlay, like 'gimpels' overlay or something? How woudl i find which overlay it is in? I can use layman, and i tried layman -L to list them all, but there was not a gimpel overlay.

EDIT: seems like using hellanzb would be all around easier, im going to install it again and see if i can get it working this time, even though i had no luck last time.

[psilo357]

sweet, i actually got hellanzb working this time...YAY. Anyways, just one other question, what is the best web interface for it? i see hellahella is popular...just don't know if it is the best.

thanks

edit: well, of course it looks like it is going to be difficult to install hellahella, seems everything that is not in portage you have to do backflips to get installed. Which I can do, it just makes things hard. I'm still new to gentoo, but it seems things are made harder than they really need to be. Any pointers on how to get hellahella installed would be great.

thanks again

thanks for the help gimpel, as i would rather use sabnzbd+ as it has a built in web interface that is very nice, plus im already accustomed to it. Anyways, I am slightly confused on how to add a personal overlay. Here is the current state of my make.conf:

[psilo357]

alright gimpel, i went ahead and tried it all out and got it installed, however i got this message:

[gimpel]

gconfd?

Is this really from the sabnzbd ebuild?

yeah, here is the entire console printout when I run emerge sabnzbd

[gimpel]

For sabnzbd, please try installing dos2unix and try again.

For zussaweb, just unpack it to your webserver and edit the config files.

alright, dos2unix was never installed, guess its not showing up as a dependency. Anyways i have installed dos2unix now and I tried sabnzbd again, but it is still having the same error.

thanks

[psilo357]

alright, i got zussaweb installed, but not running.

Whenever i browse to http://localhost/zussawb

All get is an index of the folder, not the web interface actually running...any ideas?

thanks

i changed the title to be more fitting. I would still like to get sabnzbd compiled and working, so help with that still would be great, still stuck where above post shows. Well, I have got zussaweb working now though, by adding the apache2 use flag, i guess since i installed PHP before i thought i would be using apache i didn't think about the flag, anyways, it works now, thanks a ton for all the help. Now, if i can get sabnzbd going, i would be set for now at least...

[dweezil-n0xad]

sabnzbd is easy to use without portage as it doesn't need compiling.

just extract SABnzbd-0.4.4-src.tar.gz to a local folder and start the daemon with SABnzbd.py -d
make sure you have the dependencies listed in INSTALL.txt

wow, that worked great, it runs and everything!!!

One last question before i can mark this thing solved, how do i get it to where I can just run it with a single command? i want to be able to just type

sabnzbd.py

at the console, wherever i am and it run, instead of

python /home/me/SABnzbd-0.4.4/SABnzbd.py

can i just move the SABnzbd.py to /usr/bin and it iwll work, or does it depend on all the other files being in the same directory?

thanks again

[dweezil-n0xad]

don't move SABnzbd.py, make a symbolic link:

[psilo357]

when i do this, it looks for the interface file in /usr/bin/interfaces, which of course, does not exist...is there any otehr way to make it work possibly?? also, i have moved the entire folder to /usr/share/SABnzbd-0.4.4, which if i use the long line

python /usr/share/SABnzbd-0.4.4/SABnzbd.py

it works fine, it does try to launch if if i put the symbolic link in /usr/bin, but if i try /usr/local/bin, it tells me that 'bash:sabnzbd does not exist'...

thanks for anymore help

[psilo357]

alright, well, i started a new install, and actually got sabnzbd to install using gimpel's overlay/ebuild. However, there are a couple of problems.

1. Whenever i try to run it as a user, it says root access is required, however, I added myself to the sabnzbd group just like it said to do, why is this?

2. Even if i do start it up as root, whenever i open up my browser and browser to http://localhost:8080/ it says that 'Firefox failed to make a connection', which leads me to believe it is not running...what is the problem here, any ideas how i can get this fixed?

3. (slightly unrelated) This time when adding a local overlay, I did everything the same way as last, and everytime i emerge anything now, i get the following warning, even though packages from that overlay emerge fine, at least appear to:
