Brand new user of NZBDRONE – previous user of SickBeard. So far I’m really liking what I’m seeing of the program, and do think I’ll be continuing as a user.
One thing I noticed is that the Web Interface seems to be locked down to use only on the locally installed computer (Windows machine). And if I try to pull the web interface up on a computer on the same local network by going to http://computer-name:8989/ — I’m getting a “HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.” error.
I realize this is likely setup due to security. But I think both SAB and SickBeard allow local network requests by default, and only block outside network requests unless explicitly enabled in the settings.
Is there something in the settings I’m missing to enable the web interface access from other machines on the local network?
Worked like a champ Markus, thank you! All I did was simply shut down NzbDrone using the system tray icon, then launched the executable as Admin. I’m now able to access from other computer on the network over http://computer-name:8989/
You can run Drone as an elevated user in Linux too, shouldn’t be too much different from OS X either. I can’t imagine that the same problem that phpjunkie was having occurs in the same way on non-Windows systems though. As far as I know in Windows it’s UAC that stops it from working right and you shouldn’t have the same problem on OS X.
