Configuring PF to allow SABnzbd

Hi,
I have installed SABnzbd and configured it. Problem is it will start only if if I disable PF. With PF enabled the web interface won't appear.

This the PF log http://paste2.org/eMNPZcFn.

I tried a lot adding rules but none worked.

Please help me with the rule.

Please post your current pf.conf file. What rules have you tried? Is your objective here is to allow incoming traffic to access port 8080? Are you using NAT?
 
Code: 
$ cat /etc/pf.conf 
set skip on lo
block in all
pass out all keep state

I tried adding set skip on lo but is not working too. I configured and enabled PF by reading the handbook. I dont even know how to enable NAT.
 
Have a look at Securing Hosts with PF, paying particular attention to the webservices part. It will also serve as a good introduction to how to set up a basic pf installation. Your "block all incoming, pass all outgoing" approach needs a bit of tweaking.
 
That link too is suggesting to add the line
Code: 
set skip on lo0
to stop PF from blocking access to the loopback interface.
Someone told me to use lo but I tried both and lo0 but no effect.
 
I rebooted and now its working. Really weird because I was reloading the rules by pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf

Thanks.
