Actually, I only got it running twice. It looked great, but not very usefull if it crashes after a while.
Switched to getnzb and never looked back :-)

i can't get hellanzb to work EVERYTIME

I follow the how-to point to point, and everytime I get:

Code:

---

[admin@kolibrieroutert root]$ /opt/etc/init.d/S80lighttpd

Duplicate config variable in conditional 0 global: fastcgi.server

This is also when I try to install nzbgetplus

And don't get started with: "Why do you need webinterface?" I am not the only one at home using the wl500g for downloading, and I don't think my brother (11 years) knows how to do command line.

It looks like you have some config of fastcgi.server in both /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and in a file in /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/

If I look at my setup, i don't even have a directory /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/.
So to comply with my instructions, perhaps you could try renaming (or deleting) the directory /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/

If that doesn't work either, could you attach the .conf files ?

Woeptiedoe!!!!

Well Finally I got it all working; I re-installed the router to find one of the problems...

I was reading a how-to from Wirespot (some more tips and tricks) about SSL and encrypting your server. There I've read that you first had to disable the internal webserver from busybox....well that disabled all the problems. From that moment on, everything worked fine.

After weeks of trying, testing and retesting, I will share here my experiences.
Comparing versions

1) Hellnzb
2) Sabnzb
3) Newsleech

Speed:
The maximum speed of my internet connection is 19Mbits, so theoretically I can download with 2400KB/sec which comes down to 2,3MB/sec. The connection is ADSL so I will encounter 10% loss due to overhead (estimated) which will bring the maximum reasonable speed back to 17Mbits. (2172KB/sec or 2,1MB/sec)

SABnzbd:
The maximum speed I could do was 300KB/sec, because I could only use one or (If I was lucky two) connections. SABnzbd uses so much memory that I couldn’t use more than two connections because it will crash if I try to approach the web interface.

Hellanzbd
The maximum speed with hellanzbd was 2400KB/sec, but this was after downloading a file of 4,5Mb. After downloading a dvd (4,5GB) I got an average speed of 1300KB/sec with 4 connections

Newsleech
Well, it is a bit unfair, because newsleech can use all the resources it will need (depending on your computer) but the maximum speed I had was 1,8Mb/sec.

Stabillity

SABnzbd
Not good, If you will download an archive larger then 10Gb, you need to consider using your PC or something else, because your router will crash while unpacking, downloading or whatever….and frankly…downloading 10Gb with max 300KB/sec is not what you will call: Ideal!

Hellanzb
The past two days I spend downloading a bunch of albums , total downloaded in these two days: 15Gb, great stability

Newsleech
Stupid question…ofcourse it is stable….unless your pc ain’t

How can I disable the auto unrar and par repair in hellanzb or in zussaweb.
I like work manual.
Thank you.

Hi,

don't know exactly for the par, but for the rar it is (at 3/4 in the /opt/etc/hellanzb.conf)

Code:

---

# Skip unraring during post processing
Hellanzb.SKIP_UNRAR = True

---

Hi all,

I get the following message when following the link Zussaweb on the Headstart frontpage:

Fault: Code: 5 Reason 'Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized)'

Some more information, when I get the fault:
- I installed Headstart II using the tutorial.
- Used /opt/bin/startHellaNZB to start hellanzb (using top it shows in the process list)
- Changed configuration for my newsgroup, etc. in /opt/etc/hellanzb.conf

Have you entered the same password and port number in both /opt/etc/hellanzb.conf and /opt/share/www/lighttpd/zussaweb/settings.php ??

---

I don't have the folder zussaweb in the lighttpd folder, so i'm pretty sure that the passwords are not equal...;)

Can anybody help me?

Hi Alias88,

When you started HellaNZB with /opt/bin/startHellaNZB, did it say it started HellaNZB 'daemonized' (or something like that).

Normally, when such error message appears in the WebUI, the daemon didn't startup correctly. maybe you have an small error in HellaNZB's config file.
(please post config file, and make sure you anonymize your newsserver credentials (if you use a payserver))

Hi Raas,

thanx for the quick reaction! I attached the conf as asked. I hope it can help you help me...

Greetz!

Hi,

looks good to me.
is it just the webinterface which doesn't run, or does hellanzb not run at all?
(check by putting a nzb in the queue and see if it gets processed (file is moved to current and hella will take up cpu and download.))

HellaNZB is running perfectly... I put in a nzb (one mp3) and this was processed in a couple of seconds and downloaded.

Code:

---

[admin@NAS root]$ /opt/bin/startHellaNZB
hellanzb v0.13 (config = /opt/etc/hellanzb.conf, daemonized, C yenc module)

---

So that also looks ok...

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

And of course like a miracle ZussaWeb works now I try to open the webpage again... Thanks for the trouble... I hope it keeps working. I'll get back if not.

Hi,

maybe it's just the browser cache of your internet browser which presented you with an old (cached) page. ?

That's problably the reason why it didn't work. Everything looks it's working like it should, but I have some warning in the frontend, that I would like to get rid of. It says the following:

Code:

---

HellaNZB version 0.13, uptime 22:20
total downloaded: 727MB, total downloaded nzbs: 1,
Notice: Undefined variable: disk in /mnt/protected/WebUI/zussaweb/functions.php on line 4

Warning: disk_free_space() [function.disk-free-space]: No such file or directory in /mnt/protected/WebUI/zussaweb/functions.php on line 4
free disk space: 0MB

---

I looked for the variable and changed the path in settings.php, but to no avail. Should I kill zussaweb and restart it? If yes, how can I do that?

Thanx in advance...

Yep, having the same error (otherwise it wouldn't be in the image :D )
have tried the path variable also, but that didn't work.

other thing.
zussaweb isn't a process, it's a webapplication which is 'user-initiated' and is running on the process lighttpd (which is the webserver which 'listenes' for a request on the port (8082))), if no client is connected, no request is posted to the webserver so there's no need to 'generate' information about the download. If you have a browser open on zussa's page it is refreshed every 10-15 sec. by a background javascript (ajax) which 'requests' new information about the downloads from the webserver. since you request zussa's pages which has code to read out HellaNZB's variables, which in fact is a background process which looks (listenes) for files on a given location (\..\..\daemon.queue)
if you want to restart the lighttpd webserver (e.g. after changing config, and you want to apply the config without restarting) you use the following code:

Code:

---

/opt/etc/init.d/S80lighttpd restart

---

Appearantly not :)

Will try this, test this, and update the images, when I have the time.

I used this fix, but it didn't have any effect... Anyway even with the bugs in zussaweb, i can work with it and see all that i need to see. Again thanx for the help!

Hello,

I set up everything like described in the first post, but I always get displayed a 404 error. What's wrong? Even if I want to open a txt-file in the root directory of the webserver it stays the same. The only thing what is sucessful is the index.html.

Can you help?

OK I have found the failure, maybe you should update the tutorial.

Code:

---

cd /opt/share/www/lighttpd/
tar -xzvf /opt/tmp/zussaweb03.tar.gz

---

Zussaweb has to be copied to /opt/share/www - that is the right document root. As long as it is there no index.html , the webserver points at its own index.html in the lighttpd folder.

Just checked it... changeset 8127 indeed changed the document root of lighttpd.

I just updated the fp.

hi when you edit the lighttpd file it says to do this

change
#fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
# ( "localhost" =>
# (
# "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
# "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php"
# )
# )
# )

into
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
"bin-path" => "/opt/bin/php-fcgi"
)
)
)

however in my file it says

## read fastcgi.txt for more info
#fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
# ( "localhost" =>
# (
# "socket" => "/tmp/php-fcgi.sock",
# "bin-path" => "/opt/bin/php-fcgi",
# "bin-environment" => (
# "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "4000"
# )
# )
# )
# )

so can someone tell me what to delete do i need to delete the whole statement or just part of it thanks

Well that part of the manual is a bit outdated...

Today if you install php-fcgi, the neccesary settings are automaticly made in /opt/etc/lighttpd/conf.d/10-php-fcgi.conf

It should work out of the box.
