Unable to start Sonarr on Mac

Help & Support
1

I had the same issue as the person in this topic: Sonarr.app won't start my database was corrupted, so I renamed the ~/.config/NzbDrone folder to ~/.config/oldNzbDrone, removed the application in /Applications and reinstalled Sonarr from this url http://download.sonarr.tv/v2/master/latest/NzbDrone.master.osx.zip

But now Sonarr won’t start at all.

When I start Sonarr with a double click I get the following message in the Console application:

com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[142] (com.osx.sonarr.tv.60224[431]): Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13

When I try to start the app through the command line with the command open Sonarr.app I get the following error:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/Sonarr.app

The only thing I can think of is updating Mono. That’s what I’m currently doing.

Any other thoughts?

EDIT:

Updating Mono does not help. I tried a restart, also doesn’t help.

Check the log files in ~/.config/NzbDrone/logs, that will at least tell you if Sonarr is starting or its an error with something else.

The ~/.config/NzbDrone folder doesn’t exist anymore since I renamed it to oldNzbDrone to force a recreation of that folder. It seems it doesn’t even get to the point of making that folder before it crashes.

Its either mono or something else then, the first thing Sonarr does on start is create that folder.

I was getting that error too when launching the app. First time installing it. To fix it I had to manually create the NzbDrone folder in ~/.config. The app didn’t have permission to create it. Once I did that it started working. Hope this helps someone. I spent two hours trying to figure out why the app would run for two seconds and then quit
