Do you mean: Apache, Mysql and PHP? Why do you need apache? Since Lighttpd is already installed. I'm also working on a guide to install Spotweb. http://www.spot-net.nl/spotweb/ Its already running on my ZFSguru-box with lighttpd. Spotweb needs mysql/sqlite, PHP5 and of course a web-server. In the guide I will cover the installation of mysql and PHP5-extensions, but no apache. | |||

Don't really need apache just seems like its usually bunlded in one easy to install package. Really just looking at mysql for a XBMC backend and maybe phpmyadmin to manage it. I'm not familiar with SpotWeb but from looking at the website it looks like its php+sql? Anyways, seems very promising. I switched from ZFSGuru to Solaris Express 11 a little bit ago but am thinking about switching back since management is easier. With the ability to run these services nativly and not HAVE to rely on a VM to do this, I am going to switch. Plus running these through VirtualBox in ZFSGuru, I remember I was having problems with the files wrote (touched) having permission problems from outside the VM. Anyways, thanks for the work Kriss and keep it up! | |||

I'm just a mechanical engineer, who is interested in PC and stuff. This is why I don't know much about mysql,PHP,apache, etc. etc. I just know a little bit of everything. Because I like to know how everything works, I gather all the information I need to get my programs running. Its becoming a lot of info and thats why I thought: lets write it down. I'm sorry if I can't help you with all your questions. I hope you understand that's not because I don't want to, but because I don't know it either. I will post the Spotweb guide when its finished and I hope you can use some parts of the information. After the Spotweb guide I will start with a guide that combines all the information of all the programs I'm running. Including the configuration, because these programs can do a lot. | |||

I got everything working, except for two little issues with SABnzbd. The first is, it won't let me send any emails. If I try to send a test email I get: "Email Test Result = No email templates found" I can live without that, but just curious if it can be solved :) The second thing is a bit more annoying. I cannot add NZBs via the NZB pulldown menu at the right top. If I pick a NZB from my workstation harddrive, and click Upload ... nothing seems to happen. I would like to have this one solved if possible :) And I'm wondering if there is a way to upgrade? Installed version is 0.6.5 and 0.6.7 is out now :) | |||
| Kriss User 131 posts |
I don't use the email function, yet. The NZB issue may be related to permissions. I'm trying to find the install dir of SAB. Haven't found it yet. | |||
| Sleepie User 14 posts |
I had the same thoughts about the NZB issue. It probably due to the fact that the 'nfs' user doesn't have permissions on one of the SABnzbd install (sub-)folders. Thinking of it, that might be the problem with email too (maybe 'nfs' cannot/may not read some template folder). I was (and still am) curious if you have the same problems? | |||
| Kriss User 131 posts |
Yes, I have the same problem with the NZB's. It never occurred to me, because I don't use that function. My browser(plugin) automatically sends the NZB's to SABnzbd. Does anybody know where the SABnzbd program dir, is located? | |||
| Sleepie User 14 posts |
I don't use it often, since SickBeard and/or CouchPotato will indeed send the NZBs to SABnzbd. However, I had a mdadm raid on Linux which somehow destroyed itself after a failed drive. I lost all my data in the process :) That is the reason I am using ZFS now, even more security for my files. And since I have a copy of a lot of the nzb-files the Upload NZB function is very handy, since you can assign a catagory there too. NZBBlackhole dir works (that's what I'm using now), but you have to set the category for each and every download :( I have read somewhere that a lot of the SABnzbd files/libraries are stored in the python directory, haven't had time to check that yet. | |||

Yes there it is: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sabnzbd/ /usr/local/share/sabnzbdplus I changed the permissions of the second folder to 775 but that doesn't help. | |||

It might just be a problem in SABnzbd 0.6.5 of course. But I checked the changelog of 0.6.6 and didn't see a fix for this problem. Now we know where the files are, I'm gonna install a Ubuntu server as a VM, maybe I can spot some differences. No time for that now though, will be later today or tomorrow. | |||
| Kriss User 131 posts |
I just ran SABnzbd as user:root, group:wheel and still nothing happens. There might be another problem, like you said. | |||

Hey Kriss, thanks for writing your guide! I hope I can use it to help creating the official SABnzbd/Sickbeard/Couchpotato service addon when the time comes. Until then, I hope people can use your guide to get something working in the meantime. I know little problems like permissions can spoil the fun; but it does give me a heads-up about potential issues when creating the official add-on. Hope you guys can make this work! | |||

Nice looking new guide Kriss! Just a thing I noticed when I installed everything. When I started sabnzbd for the first time, I pointed my browser of my workstation to the NAS IP (or hostname), port 8080 and got nothing. Problem was that in sabbznd's settings file the hostname was set to "localhost". So if someone faces this problem: - cd /usr/home/nfs/sabnzbd - ee sabnzbd.ini - look for the line 'host = localhost' and change it to 'host = 0.0.0.0' - press esc key ----> leave editor ----> save I guess this might be handy to include in the guide, maybe in a 'Troubleshooting' section at the end? You could then probably also include how to check if sabnzbd is actually running when you start it (for people that haven't got any linux/bsd experience) with 'ps -aux | grep SABnzbd' Just thinking out loud and trying to help with your nice work! :) | |||

Thank you, for this info. I will ad it to the guide. About uploading nzb's with SAB. I'm using Firefox with the nzbdStatus plugin which automatically sends the nzb's to SAB, but this also doesn't work. Bedankt | |||

Kriss, maybe it's a owner thing? Is sabnzbd owner of usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sabnzbd/ /usr/local/share/sabnzbdplus? | |||

Root is the owner of these directories, but I've tried to run SAB as user:root, group:wheel and then the same thing happens. Nothing. I addressed the issue at the SABnzbd-forum: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8542 Hope they find a solution. | |||

I managed to fix the E-mail errors :) Turned out, the email templates were completely missing (seems they don't get installed with the package). So, I downloaded the sabnzbd source code (version 0.6.7 doesn't really matter) to my workstation. Unzipped the sources and uploaded the 'email' folder to some share on my NAS box. Then moved that 'email' folder to /usr/local/share/sabnzbd Changed ownership according to the other files there: cd /usr/local/share/sabnzbd chown -R root:wheel email And mail is working :) En graag gedaan Kriss ;) | |||

When I do this step : 4. Install ports tree: # portsnap fetch extract I get [root@zfsguru /]# portsnap fetch extract Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... done. Snapshot appears to have been created more than one day into the future! (Is the system clock correct?) Cowardly refusing to proceed any further. Anyone got suggestions? EDIT: Ok, I have to change the time but I dont know how to do that? | |||

portsnap command doesn't have any kind of '-f' (force) option? | |||

Change it in your BIOS or Display the date/time: # date Set the date/time: # date yymmddhhMM yy : Year (01-12) mm : Month (01-12) dd : Day (01-31) hh : Hour (00-23) MM : Minute (01-59) | |||

You need to have an internet connection and run: ntpdate That will receive the date/time from internet NTP server. | |||
