Title: Why can't SABnzbd assign a port
Tags: 14.04;server
Question: I'm attempting to run SAB on a new Ubuntu 14.04 box. But it won't start, always failing with 'error: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address' no matter the user or port I start with. Even root gets denied. I know that the typical answer is that the port is taken but it doesn't appear to be so:
hofo@pellmell:~$ sudo netstat -anltp | grep "LISTEN"

Any ideas what I should look at next?


Here is another answer: For me it worked with IP 151.154.11.224 instead of 151.154.11.224 or localhost. (Same same but different...)
sudo sabnzbdplus --server 151.154.11.224:8745
