[How To] Install and Configure Hellanzb

[DrChair]

Hellanzb is (like sabnzbd) a tool for downloading, repairing and unpacking nzb-files from usenet.

Prerequisites:
- You need to be using the OLEG optware repository
- You need to have a swap-file

The Howto:

Install the necessary packages:

ipkg update

ipkg install py-hellanzb
  or if you want to use python2.5
ipkg install py25-hellanzb

The hellanzb package uses the following defaults:

Hellanzb.PREFIX_DIR = '/opt/tmp/'
Hellanzb.LOG_FILE = '/opt/var/log/hellanzb.log'

If you like it, you only need to enter your news-servers in /opt/etc/hellanz.conf
Otherwise change those settings aswell.

The package creates a startup-script S71hellanzb, so you can start it by /opt/etc/init.d/S71hellanzb, or a reboot.

nzb files go in /opt/tmp/nzb/daemon.queue/, the result comes in /opt/tmp/usenet/

Default, hellanzb has no Webinterface, so you can track progress by watching the log file, or by installing the webinterface Zussaweb using instructions below. Or you can try to install another interface listed on hellanzb.com.

Instructions for Zussaweb:

ipkg update
ipkg install lighttpd
ipkg install fcgi-php

Edit /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and make the following changes:

  change
#                               "mod_fastcgi",
  into
                                "mod_fastcgi",

  change
url.access-deny             = ( "~", ".inc" )
  into
url.access-deny             = ( "~", ".inc", ".sqlite" )

  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"
                                 )
                               )
                            )

Now you are ready to start lighttpd by /opt/etc/init.d/S80lighttpd
Next download and unpack zussaweb:

cd /opt/tmp
wget http://download.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zussaweb/zussaweb03.tar.gz
cd /opt/share/www
tar -xzvf /opt/tmp/zussaweb03.tar.gz

Next you need to change the values of $disk and $download_nzb_path in the file /opt/share/www/zussaweb/settings.php

Finally we need to fix a bug:
Edit /opt/share/www/zussaweb/functions.php and change:

function freediskspace() {
        return (round (disk_free_space(disk)/1024/1024,2));
}

into:

function freediskspace($disk) {
        return (round (disk_free_space($disk)/1024/1024,2));
}

Now you can use the interface at http://192.168.1.1:8081/zussaweb/

Happy leeching
