LottaNZB

Error "Could not connect to localhost. This might be due to network issues." in stand alone mode.

Asked by Old Man Jut

I just installed lottanzb on a fresh ubuntu 8.04 system. it has always worked flawlessly in the past, but is giving me:

Error Could not connect to localhost. This might be due to network issues.

whenever I launch it. the network connection is working, i'm not behind a firewall, all ports are default, hellanzb.conf is default. I have purged and reinstalled both hellanzb and lottanzb multiple times.
Little help?

Oh, by the way, don't forget to install python-openssl if you're connecting to an SSL news server.
Oop.

Sorry for being vague. It was giving me that error because I didn't have python-openssl install and was trying to connect to an SSL news server.
Word, to the wise: be sure you've installed all dependencies first.
