NZBget 9 woes...

[gnujoshua]

After some issues with 0.9 and very, very slow downloads - I grabbed the nzbget 9 from the dropbox mirror and installed via CSI (after uninstalling 0.9 from CSI).

The interface is very clean, and I like it a lot.

That being said, I am having a hell of a time getting it to work. For starters, there are 3 nzbget.conf files:
/share/Apps/NZBget/nzbget.conf
/share/Apps/NZBget/.nzbget/nzbget.conf
/share/Apps/NZBget/webui/nzbget.conf

The nzbget-postprocess.conf file installed to the root (NZBget) folder and was failing, so I moved it to the .nzbget folder and that got rid of the errors.

My biggest issue thusfar, is that even though I've changed the DestDir variable in all of the nzbget.conf files, the dest directory is still pointing to /share/Apps/NZBget/Temp - I have no clue why this is happening and it's breaking my unpack and copy processes from Sickbeard. Even the web interface confirms that DestDir is set to /share/Download but for some reason when I initiate a download, it still goes to the Temp folder.

Unfortunately, I can't revert back to an older version of NZBget because all of JHMiller's stuff has been pulled from CSI. I like the new NZBget interface and wouldn't mind keeping it, but I'm really having a hard time getting it to work.

When everything was working right - I was basically using SickBeard + NZBget and the stock unpack scripts.

Ok - partial fix here.

Wiped NZBget (and sickbeard, although this was probably not necessary) using CSI and reinstalled. Using CSI, I did a shutdown NZBget as soon as it booted and logged into my PCH.

Telneted to my PCH, deleted /share/Apps/NZBget/.nzbget/nzbget.conf and soft-linked it to the nzbget.conf file one level up as follows (this way I don't have any misconceptions about which file is the right file, they are the same file):

# cd /share/Apps/NZBget/.nzbget/
# rm nzbget.conf
# ln -s ../nzbget.conf nzbget.conf

Then I soft-linked the config post-process config to the bin folder (this corrects two things - it fixes the error in NZBget when trying to locate the nzbget-postprocess.conf file, therefore allowing you to correct the path to unrar):

# cd /share/Apps/NZBget/bin/
# ln -s ../nzbget-postprocess.conf nzbget-postprocess.conf

Then I corrected the path for unrar in the nzbget-postprocess.conf using vi. On my A-210 unrar is in the /nmt/apps/bin folder.

Once done, I started up NZBget via CSI, configured my news servers, and grabbed an NZB. Verified that the file is now unpacking in /share/Download as it should.

Now off to install Sickbeard again.

If you want give my version a try, it was posted on page 2 of the nzbget 9 thread. http://www.mediafire.com/?o8txb5b6f8l8vav

There are ment to be 2 conf files, the ones in the webui folder are defaults and (in my package) the ones in the root of NZBget folder are where the changes you made are stored.

There should ne no need for changing things around, it should work as it is. Also it is best to change setting via the webui.

Thanks for your response.

Oddly enough, when I made those changes in the webui - my downloads were still unpacking to /share/Apps/NZBget/Temp - even after I confirmed that the webui had the DestDir set to /share/Download

In my fix above, there were 3 nzbget.conf files, one was in the root NZBget folder, another one was in .nzbget. I deleted the one in .nzbget and linked it to the conf file one level up.

It might be that the CSI package of 9 that I have simply doesn't have the correct config. If I have any further problems I'll re-download from the point you mentioned after wiping nzbget - but I'm fairly hopeful it's going to work fine at this point.

Hi,

I've recently installed NZB9 using CSI, it's a very nice interface.

The problem I have sounds similar to gnujoshua's - everything downloads okay but then I get an error "Post-Process: Configuration file /share/Apps/NZBGet/bin/nzbget-postprocess.conf not found, exiting" and nothing gets unpacked. I then have to do this manually from my PC, which takes an age because it's remote from my PCH! Definitely an overnight job!

So it sounds like I need to make sure the .conf file is in the bin directory (or change the location in settings??) - but before I go mucking around with it, do you have any advice? ie. If i find multiple .conf files like gnujoshua, which one should I move? Can I do it from my windows PC or should I telnet to my PCH and do it that way? etc.

Thanks for any help you can give. When I get this sorted, next up is Sickbeard and CouchPotato! Rock on!

Did you try my version above, if you could and it works a normal maybe future releases will not suffer from this issue.

Your link is not working.

I've just updated to v497 and the webUI. Looks nice.

You can take the default version of config file here and save to the location it looks in ("/share/Apps/NZBGet/bin/nzbget-postprocess.conf" in your case).

To be able to edit this conig file from web-interface you also need to save a copy of this file in webui-folder - I don't know the exact location on NMT but it's the folder containing files index.html, index.js, config.js, etc. After that you need to restart NZBGet or use function Reload in web-interface (tab "settings", section "System").
