Server Log Location

Archon · 01-07-2011, 11:03 AM

Does anyone know where Calibre stored the server log?

Can I export the log? Can I save it as a text file?

When I attempt to copy and paste from the server log window my clipboard program tells me it is "unsupported data".

I can copy and past small bits of it but when I 'select all' and copy and then try to past it into TextEdit it locks up TextEdit.

Use a better text editor? The log files are in the calibre config directory, which you can access via Preferences->miscellaneous

Thanks Kovid. I found the log files the Preferences->miscellaneous.

However, interestingly, when I copy and paste into OpenOffice and Pages from the "Preferences/Sharing Over the Internet/View Server Logs" it works just fine, but when I try to copy/paste into TextEdit then TextEdit freezes.

But when I double click the log.txt file it launches TextEdit without a problem in about a quarter the time it takes to paste into the other programs.

That will be my preferred method now so I can search the server log.

Thanks for the help.

Is it possible to know the location of calibre-server on Debian / Linux?
Thanks

Try looking in ~/.config/calibre

The fact that you use linux does not mean the Preferences option won't work -- calibre does know how to find its own configuration files.

If you mean you use a headless server and can't run the GUI to access the Preferences, that's different.

As PeterT said, the configuration folder is in ~/.config like any good XDG-compliant application.
