Finally got this fixed. This error was appearing because I had PHP error reporting set to e_all.

I back it down to just fatal errors, and it went away.

I did poke around a bit, and found this on the smarty website:

Quote:
Q: PHP Error Reporting level is set to E_ALL and smarty throws "undefined index"-errors. What can I do?

A: If you're getting it in a section loop, and especially if smarty's returning a few empty loop products at the end of your loop, it's a bug. Work around it by including your section code in an {if} statement which checks that a value which should not be empty, really isn't empty.

Me too, I was seriously pounding my head against a wall.

I'd like to thank you, Charles. I can now use this and tie it into my website/forum. Just have to modify the colors/etc.

You're a prince.

OK, stupid questions:

1) How do I change the background color of the main page?
2) Change colors of the font.

Obviously, I'm not an HTML guy.

All the presentation (color, layout, fonts, etc) are controlled by the smarty templates (smarty/templates/*.tpl). Change things there. For example, the "<div" on line 15 of header.tpl controls the font and color of the header block. Unfortunately, that does require html knowledge.

I didn't bother setting up a common .css for the templates, something that might have made this job easier. It isn't something I care about.

I have an Windows 2003 system, with php 5.3.
All other sites configured (using mysql) working like a charm but i am not able to get the php-calibre operational.

I keep getting the following error message (turned e_all on under the php config):
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to open database: unable to open database file' in D:\....\db.php:160 Stack trace: #0 D:\....\db.php(160): SQLite3->__construct('t:\ebooks\Calib...', 1) #1 D:\....\db.php(195): MySQLite->open('t:\ebooks\Calib...') #2 D:\....\index.php(51): CalDatabase->__construct('t:\ebooks\Calib...') #3 {main} thrown in D:\....\db.php on line 160

I have started the sqlite3 executable on the web server.
A thing i don't understand why it tries to make an database file at the location where my ebooks are located (network share with write access).

Any help to get it running under iiS is appreciated.

No executable is required, at least on any configuration that I have seen.

The file metadata.db must exist in the folder containing calibre's library and must be readable. Otherwise it isn't a calibre library and the server cannot deal with it.

You might want to look at post 1 in this thread to see how chaley decided to implement the calibre content server in this environment then post 131 to find out where to get the latest files needed to implement calibre content server on your host system.

No output from index.php

Hi,

Having a slight problem - when I access index.php I'm not getting any output, not even error messages.

I wonder if someone can tell me what incredibly simple thing I've done wrong?

Ubuntu Server, Apache/2.2.17, PHP Version 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.3, sqlite3, smarty 2.6.26-0.2ubuntu1, GD 2.0 - so I think that's everything I should need! I've restarted Apache.

config_local.php is
Code:
$config['library_dir'] = '/data/Dropbox/eBooks/Calibre Library';

$config['web_dir'] = '/data/www/calibre';

$config['smarty_web_dir'] = $config['web_dir'] . '/smarty';

$config['smarty_dir'] = '/data/www/calibre/.cache';

$config['smarty'] = '/usr/share/php/smarty/';
I've also tried
Code:
$config['library_dir'] = '/data/Dropbox/eBooks/Calibre\ Library';
But that doesn't make a difference.

Go on - what obvious thing have I overlooked?

T

I've stuck a try...catch loop on
PHP Code:
try {
    
$db = new CalDatabase($config['library_dir']);
}
catch (
Exception $e) {
    
var_dump($e->getMessage());
    echo 
$config['library_dir'];

Which pumps out
Code:
"Unable to open database: unable to open database file" 
/data/Dropbox/eBooks/Calibre Library
There's certainly a metadata.db file in that directory.

I'm utterly stumped. Any help?

Check permissions. Normally the web server would not have permission to read Dropbox files.

D'oh! That did the trick. Thanks!

Is there any way to get the size of a file out of the DB? So I can format it "MOBI 2.5MB" etc?

It doesn't seem to work when I change the DB query to
PHP Code:
$data $this->db->query(sprintf('SELECT format,name,size 
(and then loop through the array).

EDIT: the column name is "uncompressed_size" - using that works to get file size.

Love the server - is there a more formal way to contribute patches / bugs / change request?

Nope. Never had any need for it.

This thread is a good place for bug reports and change requests. Patches can also go through here, either by including the entire files (I will do the diffs) or a 'patch'. If the volume gets high enough then I could probably set something up using launchpad & bzr, but it is hard to imagine the need given history.

Show the size of the file

The attached patch shows the size of the file next to each filetype.

So, if you're on a limited bandwidth connection, you may choose the epub over the PDF etc.
