February 24, 201115 yr Author There should be a config file for Couchpotato. Check it out and see if there is a port or IP address problem. Overass, I'm not sure because I just unzipped the package and it ran no problem for me. Peter hmm... where should the config file be located? I checked Custom/couchpotato and it is not in there... both sab and sickbeard have one though. Maybe this is my problem strange...
February 24, 201115 yr Author .custom/CouchPotato/app/config/configApp.py I think.... you're right I found it, however opening that in notepad I see a place with 0.0.0.0 which I assume sis where I need to put in my IP, but going into putty and then MC to edit it I can't figure out where to put it. it looks totally different... maybe self.initconfig () ??
February 24, 201115 yr DON'T use Notepad to edit files. Instead use Midnight Commander. Type mc from a Putty command line. Go back and check every file you've edited using Notepad and remove M^ from the end of each line where you find that return.

I havent edited the couch potato config file at all. I just looked at it and sawwhere I could put in my IP but opening it in MC it looks way different
February 25, 201115 yr My Couchpotato directory has a config.ini file. If you don't have one then it probably isn't running... The command ps -A will show you the processes. There should be 3 python processes, one for each app. If only 2 then it's not running. Try running the starting command without the -d switch, you know the python /disk1/.../CouchPotato.py line. See what appears on the screen after you run it and you might have a clue what happened. Peter

I think the problem I am having is this python /mnt/disk1/custom/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py with sick beard and sab they both start fine but couch potato says there is no such directory. I can't even find the couchpotato.py and it would actually be /mnt/disk1/custom/couchpotato/app/config/configapp maybe??
February 26, 201115 yr Maybe you downloaded the wrong thing. Try starting again with it. The .ini and .py files are both in the main directory. The .ini file might not get created until you run the program the first time. Peter

I used the steps from here, though: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Install_Python_based_servers. I can just try it again and see if that helps however I have done so before.
March 1, 201115 yr So what is the advantage to running Sabnszbd on your unRAID box vs a desktop PC/laptop? Is it just to have less of the various services needed running on your desktop?
March 1, 201115 yr So what is the advantage to running Sabnszbd on your unRAID box vs a desktop PC/laptop? Is it just to have less of the various services needed running on your desktop? For some reason, SAB was making my workstation slow to a crawl, especially extraction. My components were middle of the road in July 2008, so it's not like I'm running a PIII. Plus, I can now access SAB from any machine in the house since it's running on the server. I couldn't do that when it was running my desktop.
March 1, 201115 yr Author finally got couchpotato working... sort of. If I click on the settings icon I just get an error: Error 500 Internal Server Error Something unexpected has happened.
March 2, 201115 yr finally got couchpotato working... sort of. If I click on the settings icon I just get an error: Error 500 Internal Server Error Something unexpected has happened. This is odd. We have similar setups (everything on disk1) and I cannot access Couch Potato either. Did you manage to solve your problems?

This is odd. We have similar setups (everything on disk1) and I cannot access Couch Potato either. Did you manage to solve your problems? Did you get it running at all? What I think I had to is went into midnight commander and then you go into your couchpotato folder/apps/config and then I am pretty sure I edited the configapp file. There is somewhere you can put in your host IP address. After that I got a prompt in couchpotato to update and once I did the settings section worked.
March 2, 201115 yr I just got it running, everything set up perfectly (it even found the movie to download and sent it to sabnzbd). Now, after restarting the computer, it doesn't load again whereas sabnzbd and sickbeard run fine.

March 2, 201115 yr Yep. That's why I'm confused. I didn't change anything between the shutdown and reboot, lol.
March 2, 201115 yr Author Yep. That's why I'm confused. I didn't change anything between the shutdown and reboot, lol. what did you do exactly to set that up? are you actually using a cache drive for yours? None of mine boot up on startup at all
March 2, 201115 yr I used the guide here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Install_Python_based_servers I just replaced every instance of 'cache' with disk1. I do plan on getting a cache drive soon, though. This method works, but both disk1 and parity are kept running when the programs are active. Everything works fine with the guide except Couch Potato. I managed to get it to start before via telnet, but I'm guessing the go file fix for couch potato doesn't work.

I actually just rebooted my server and you're right it doesn't work anymore however sickbeard and sab do!?
March 3, 201115 yr From checking 'Open Files' I see that Couch Potato's log is running. python 1940 3w REG 9,1 2695 17649 /mnt/disk1/.custom/couchpotato/logs/CouchPotato.log python 1940 4u REG 9,1 15360 17846 /mnt/disk1/.custom/couchpotato/data.db python 1940 6u REG 9,1 15360 17846 /mnt/disk1/.custom/couchpotato/data.db :'(

March 6, 201115 yr Author You ever figure it out? Anyone have any ideas? When changing the IP address it works but it does not save when rebooted
March 6, 201115 yr I just got it running, everything set up perfectly (it even found the movie to download and sent it to sabnzbd). Now, after restarting the computer, it doesn't load again whereas sabnzbd and sickbeard run fine. @Jake, @120, I noted an inconsistency in the directory naming in the referenced wiki (now fixed) that might explain your difficulty with starting CouchPotato from the go file. If you followed the wiki directions, (substituting "disk1" for "cache"), your CouchPotato folder will be at /mnt/disk1/.custom/CouchPotato. Since linux is case-sensitive, the CouchPotato start command you placed in the go file won't find the CouchPotato folder. Try starting CouchPotato from telnet with this command instead: python /mnt/disk1/.custom/CouchPotato/CouchPotato.py -d If that works, make the same change in your go file. Kevin
