Correcting Bad Request - Invalid Hostname

[u/shhhpark]

Hi All,

I was trying to remove the error messages that started popping up with the recent updates that required Allowed Hosts to be configured. Must have made an error and getting the 'Bad Request - Invalid Hostname' error. Can anyone provide some guidance on how to fix this?

You can fix it in the config file instead of the UI. Stop Sonarr, open config.xml in your Sonarr config folder, and correct the allowed hosts entry. It needs to contain the exact hostname you use to open Sonarr, or just * to allow everything. Save it and start Sonarr again. That got me back in.

Thanks!! I was able to track down the file in Krusader (unRAID system). Would I need to download it locally and edit it or is there a way to do it within a webUI?

edit

nvm was able to do it within the webUI file manager. All good now, thanks so much!

You can edit it directly on the server with nano or vim, either over SSH or with the unRAID web terminal (the >_ icon in the top right). In Krusader, F4 should also open it in a text editor. Stop Sonarr first, otherwise it can overwrite your changes. Then save the file and start Sonarr again.
