So I did a ‘service nzbdrone restart’ (running Ubuntu 14.04) of nzbdrone while making some configuration changes, nzbdrone restarted, the process was running, but I noticed that nothing was listening on the bound port.
I checked the log file and found the following repeating:

I use the templated init script found in the wiki:
author "Simon Tallmyr - Nosscire"
description "Upstart Script to run NzbDrone as a service on Ubuntu/Debian based systems, as well as others"
#Set username for the process. Should probably be what you use for logging in
setuid media
#This is the install directory. If you installed using a deb package or the NzbDrone Repository you do not need to change this
env DIR=/opt/NzbDrone
setgid nogroup
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
exec mono $DIR/NzbDrone.exe
I can also confirm that NOTHING is listening or bound to port 8989 on any interface on the server, as evidenced by a netstat -ntpl.
Now what’s really weird, is if I try to manually execute it as a user that’s NOT the ‘media’ user (any other user, root or another non-privileged user for example) I have this set up to run as, it starts up just fine without any issue what so ever.
I noticed the following in the logs (I was attempting to get this set up for reverse proxy and suspect that’s the damage):
14-7-23 15:49:28.3|Info|OwinHostController| http://*:8989//
14-7-23 15:49:28.3|Info|OwinHostController| http://*:8989/
Unfortunately I’ve found no way to manually edit any configuration anywhere that would let me correct what I can only assume is causing the issue here and the reverse proxy is somehow trying to bind a separate instance to the same port.
I’ve even attempted to do a select * from each of the tables in the nzbdrone.db sqlite database and not managed to find anywhere in there where the proxy setting is toggled.
At this point I can only assume that this setting is in one of the mdb access database files and the mdb-tools suite doesn’t seem to be capable of doing anything with those.
Have I pretty much found myself backed into a corner whereby my only option is to fully set nzbdrone back up again? I’m really hoping not
