How to install NZBGET?
Hi, I have just received my ReadyNas Duo and want to install NZBGET so it can handle all my downloads. Is there a step by step guide I can follow on how to install?
HELP!
I have a couple of issues.
I recently updated my Duo firmware to 4.17, and took the opportunity to clean up my NAS at the same time, so I also formatted the disks so that everything was as new again and all my old junk was gone forever. I backed up my old "addon-config" and "webroot" folders and files prior to formatting so I could just put them back afterwards. (And edit if necessary)
OK, that's the background info out the way.
I've installed the NZBGET and instead of using the default directory, I decided to create my own and then edited my backed up versions of the NZBGET files in "Addons-Config" and "Webroot" with my new download location, while keeping all my other previous nzbt settings the same. (Port, username, pass, etc)
However now NZBGET' won't work. I was getting an error about a line being wrong in config file, which I corrected and the error message went away. However when an NZB file is added via the web browser portal, it doesn't "take" the file, and my NZB server stays as "Sleeping" However, if I add the file manually to the NZB folder, everything appears to download as normal. (Currently running ok at the moment.)
My router is still configured the same as when it was working.
I used Metapad to edit the files. The directory's are created and ready for NZBGET to use. Basically all I have done is changed from the default "media" directory to a "Downloads" directory. Nothing more. I have edited the lines that previously said "media/nzb/etc" to downloads/nzb/etc.
Suggestions welcome please!
PHP 1.3 installed. Everything worked on old firmware when I was using the previous default settings.
