[GUIDE] install CouchPotato V2

I would like to add that it kept crashing for me when I tried running it on the last step. 

Looked at the couchpotato log and saw this ( nano /root/.couchpotato/logs/CouchPotato.log )

10-19 14:45:47 INFO ^[[0m[potato.core._base.updater] === VERSION source:(RuudBurger:CouchPotatoServer master) 1fb031ff (2014-10-12 15:41:56), using SourceUpdater ===^[$

So I decided to change the port it listens on from 5050 to 6060 by doing the following

nano /root/.couchpotato/settings.conf

change  port = 5050 to  port = 6060

hit CTRL+X →   Y → Enter

then try starting it again with

/etc/init.d/couchpotato start

give it a minute or two and point your browser to either 

http://wdmycloud:6060

or 

http://[IP of NAS]:6060

hope this helps someone :slight_smile:

It’s not sabnzb as I can open files fine that are added manually to it as well as files sickbeard pulls.
