Also I'm only interested in TV shows and movies and have set up some of the groups. What are people recommending groups wise?

If you still have access to a decent index site, just search for a movie, tv show, midget porn, whatever blows your hair back. See what group it came from, and add it. IF you dont have access to a decent index site. Try http://binsearch.info.

The majority of what I need seems to come from the multimedia and tevee group, although the multimedia group gets way more action than any other group.

 

I also enabled the black list in Newznab which will help filter out all of the foreign stuff.

 

 

Hi, thanks for the great work on this!

 

I'm getting the following error during stage one of the pre-flight:

 

Checking for schema.sql file:
The schema.sql file is missing, please make sure it is placed in: /mnt/cache/.custom/db/schema.sql

 

I checked in that location and I do have a schema.sql file.  I did a chmod -R 777 on the db directory.  I'm probably doing something stupid.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  mysql seems to be up.

I had some issues with my own installed version of newznab so I decided to delete all of it and use the plugin instead as a base. Unfortunately I cannot get it to install. It installed mysql for me, I have entered svn user and password and also the server root as setup in the simplefeatures webserver. The plugin however briefly shows an XML parser error in the bottom of the screen and then noting happens.

 

http://tower:81/install

 

gives a 404 Not Found error.

 

webroot I have set as /mnt/cache/www in both newznab plugin as well as simplefeatures webserver.

webroot I have set as /mnt/cache/www in both newznab plugin as well as simplefeatures webserver.

you need to have the newznab root up on level from the webserver i.e. mine is:

 

web server: /mnt/cache/web/www/

newznab: /mnt/cache/web/

Is it possible to install this plugin and get it to use a current working install of newznab?  My current config is very similar to what the plugin setup is, and is working.  Just wondering if I should pump the breaks now and go do a reinstall or if I can get my current one to work with no problems. 

 

If it matters I am using newznab+ ..

All,

 

I've made more improvements to the cron script, and fixed an issue with running the opt tools properly every N hours.  I'll be testing it for a bit on my server and making sure that the timed opt's run..then I'll put a new version up.

Getting yours to work should be no problem. Just point the plug-in to one directory up from the www directory. It should detect the installation just fine. If it says "Not Configured" or "Not installed", check for further direction.

Hey Influencer,

 

This plugin is great, but do you have any plans to add it to the main set or update it further?

 

It would be great to be able to use it to update newznab from SVN so we could get new updates as they create them - a simple 'Update Now' would be great!

Will be getting started on this tonight, anyone running this on the official 4.7 still?

 

EDIT: doesn't look like it. can anyone verify before i get started? installplg does not seem to exist on 4.7.. i'm fine with upgrade but 4.7 always did everything great for me so i didn't see the need..

Anyone have any luck backfilling ?

 

I done an initial update_binaries.php with 5 groups selected and 1 day retention. I have changed the retention to 500 days but the backfill.php doesn't run anything.

 

Any anyone else have any luck ?

I thought I had newznab running ok, but for some reason, all my releases disappeard after running newznab_screen.sh. Groups that had been add gone as well. I decided to reinstall from scratch. All went well until I tried to run update_binaries.php.

 

This is the error I get.

root@Tower:/mnt/cache/newznab/misc/update_scripts# Could not startup.

Something is broken, I cant access tower/main I get Could not startup there as well.

newznab: /mnt/cache/web/

 

Tried that just now, it makes the db/misc/docs directory in the /mnt/cache. But there is nothing created in the /mnt/cache/www directory. I have made sure to set the directory access to 777 just to be sure that cannot be an issue.

 

The db/misc/docs get created after pressing the apply button under configuration, I cannot see anything happening after pressing the install button in the left pane.

 

any help is appreciated !

Try to install manually....

 

/etc/rc.d/rc.newznab install

Output:

 

root@Tower:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.newznab install

debug log attached !

 

 

rc.newznab.out.txt

Try adding a forward slash to the end of /mnt/cache in your plug-in settings.

 

Also, I'd think about moving it into another directory, the installation alone will cause 5 more shares to be created.

 

I'd do something like /mnt/cache/server/ or /mnt/cache/newznab/

 

Then change the web server - web root to /mnt/cache/newznab/www/

 

The plug-in is downloading newznab fine, its failing trying to move www and .svn to /mnt/cache/... but from the debug those are the only differences I can see.

Thanks ! Ill try tonight !

 

I have the plugin running and doing what it is suppose to do but when I putty into my server and try to update the svn i get a  -bash: svn: command not found

Any help on this would be great, Thanks you all

I'm taking it you have the plus version? If you have rebooted since installing svn isn't installed again, it only installs when downloading the plus version. I was actually thinking about changing that.

Yes I have the + . Went on newznab chat and asked, someone told me to upgrade the nnplus folder on my desktop with tortoise and the drag it over to the dir. I have it installed on my raid, but I think that would just overwrite all my files?

It would overwrite the installation, not your database. That is created by MySQL

So what would be the best way to get it to update?  Is or could there be a way to have it auto check daily for an update once it is started ?

Would anyone care to explain how to get the backfill sorted in layman's terms ?

 

Alot of this command line stuff goes right over my head

 

 

 

I found this info on backfill. Hope it helps

Having some difficulty with MySQL database.

 

Webserver and newznab seem to be installed fine.

 

Followed the steps in the install plugin and have reached step 2 of the install

 

http://tower:81/install/step2.php?

 

Database Setup (copied from webserver Newznab +)

 

We need some information about your MySQL database, please provide the following information

 

Note: If your database already exists, it will be overwritten with this version. If not it will be created.

Hostname: localhost

Username:

Password:

Database: newznab

The following error(s) were encountered:

• Unable to connect to database

• Unable to select database

 

I have tried entering a number of different user names and passwords including root and keep getting the same unable to connect or select database.

 

In addition and related the MySQL Server will not run and shows stopped on the status page. Current data directory is /mnt/user/mysql . I have Simplefeatures webserver and Newznab installed to the cachedrive.
