Question

Can't access NZBGet on port 6789

I’ve installed NZBGet on my Ubuntu droplet, but cannot access the web interface. When I run nmap, I get the following:

Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1) Host is up (0.000013s latency). Not shown: 998 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 6789/tcp open ibm-db2-admin

So, the service is definitely running - but I can’t access it, be it via http://127.0.0.1:6789 or http://localhost:6789 via SSH tunnel, nor through http://<outside IP>:6789. Please help! This is driving me nuts. Thanks!

What value is set in your nzbget.conf for ControlIP. This value should be set to 0.0.0.0 or your droplet’s public IP address in order for the interface to be accessible from another computer.
