Hey guys im using sabnzbd 6.0RC2  and they just released 6.5 final with a lot of important fixes for bugs i have noticed.

 

just wondering what the easiest way to update is because unfortunately sab doesn't have an update feature like Couch potato or SickBEard.

 

Thanks in advance

cd to wherever you have current version folder

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd-0.6.5/SABnzbd-0.6.5-src.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsabnzbd.org%2Fdownload%2F&ts=1309061566&use_mirror=cdnetworks-kr-1

tar -zxvf SABnzbd-0.6.5-src.tar

copy your current sabnzbd.ini into this new SABnzbd-0.6.5-src folder

if you still have a queue copy also the current cache folder in this new SABnzbd-0.6.5-src folder

stop your current sab

adapt your go script with the new path for sab 065

adapt any start buttons you might have with the new path

 

reboot server or push start button

or start manually whatever you are comfortable with

should have new sab running

if you are happy with new version you can delete the old versions folder

Or just drop the new version in to your existing folder. Hell of a lot easier. Back up your original .sabnzbd folder first, just in case.

works perfect thanks guys

Can someone post a step by step procedure for this with path's and what files to download (source etc.)?  I would like to upgrade my sabnzbd as well and I don't want to cause issues with an already working system.  Also, I am a bit confused as to what the difference is from sabnzbd and sabnzbdplus  (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/?source=directory).

Bump.

Just use the plugin from the Plugin Designs section of the forum and point the data directory to your current install.

I don't know what 'sabnzbd' is, frankly. As far as I know, when people say 'sabnzdb', they are referring to 'sabnzbdplus'. Understandably a bit confusing .

 

The link in the above quote is the correct app .

 

PS: +1

i am wondering if the plus is a fork or something.

Well, if you want something done, sometimes you have to do it yourself.  That being said, I am going to list my simple upgrade process:

 

1 - Go here and get the plugin:  https://github.com/Influencer/UNplugged/blob/master/sabnzbd_unplugged.plg

 

The article about it is here:  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=21260.0

 

2 - After you have the plugin, put it in your /boot/config/plugins directory.

 

3 - Run the plugin:  /boot/config/plugins/sabnzbd_unplugged.plg

 

4 - Tell the rc script to update sabnzbdplus:  /etc/rc.d/rc.sabnzbd update

 

You will see the following:

 

Stopping SABnzbd...

... OK

Installing latest version of SABnzbd...

... OK

Starting SABnzbd: sudo -u nobody python -OO /mnt/user/plugin_data/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -s 0.0.0.0:8081 --config-file /mnt/user/plugin_data/sabnzbd --pid /var/run/sabnzbd/ > /dev/null 2>&1

 

You can then go and verify you have the new version by clicking the help icon in the upper right of the webgui.

If you roll over the download links, you'll see they are linking to the 'plus' app.... Perhaps the devs just decided to simplify the name because that's what people call it...

It was more of a code resurrection as the original developer completely disappeared, so it's really the only game in town.

Ah ha! That makes sense! Thanks for the info
