SABnzbd Plus Upgrade Path

The older versions of SABnzbd operate on port 25914, but the SABnzbd Plus will use 25915. This can be changed of course, but was done by design to allow both versions to run for upgrade purposes.

• Copy current Settings:
  • Copy /var/spool/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini file to your home directory.
  • This will allow you to read the setting you might want to incorporate in the new version.
• Copy Downloads:
  • Copy existing downloads from /var/spool/sabnzbd/incoming (whatever directory you have set) to /var/hda/files/newsgroups.
  • There is now a complete and incomplete folders for Downloads.
• Uninstall old version:
  • Uninstall via Amahi Dashboard
  • There may be some clean up needed
    • Remove /var/spool/sabnzbd
    • Remove RPM via yum erase amahi-sabnzbd (in ase this was not removed on uninstall)
    • Remove init script and other files ( /etc/init.d/sabnzbd and /usr/bin/sabnzbd)
    • You will find a backup of your settings from the uninstall at /tmp/sabnzbd.ini.bak

If all goes well, you should now have the latest version. Upgrading to new versions will be much simpler as all files are located in /var/hda/web-apps/sabnzbdplus/html. You can do it manually or uninstall/reinstall the Amahi one-click app as it changes. Your settings file will be automatically backed up and restored as well.

NOTE: These instructions might require some updates, so please feel free to do so.
