Yes. The error is smarty v3. With v2 no errors. The fastcgi works fine. I use it because my server is nginx no apache.

Thanks!

Glad to hear it works with fastcgi.

I suppose that for completeness, some day I need to look at making things work with smarty 3.

Thanks for the feedback, I will have a look over the smarty template system this weekend and test if I can find a valid solution

Hi,

I just had another more deep look at the script .. there was no need for a fix. The Problem rather occured when using lighttpd 1.5 + php-fastcgi . The server did not properly rewrite the request, so that php would be able to server the PATH_INFO var. Fixed it by changing the config

What error is in your web server error log?

There should be a folder named "George Orwell" (or something like that) in the folder pointed at by config['library_dir']. Is there? That folder should contain the folder "1984 (19)" (or something like that). Does it? Does that folder contain the file "1984 - George Orwell.epub". Does it? Does your web server have read permission on all these folders and files?

The only error is the 404 not found:
2011/12/10 20:11:32 [error] 27913#0: *986 open() "/var/www/books/htdocs/index.php/book_format/3/Linux_Pocket_Guide___Daniel_J__Barrett.pdf" failed (20: Not a directory), client: 192.168.10.6, server: my.server.com, request: "GET /index.php/book_format/3/Linux_Pocket_Guide___Daniel_J__Barrett.pdf HTTP/1.1", host: "my.server.com", referrer: "http://my.server.com/index.php?m=catval&id=PDF&p=1&cat=formats&v=PDF"

And yes, the library_dir contains this folder and the file.

I think that is the translation. The server looks for /index.php/book_format/19/1984___George_Orwell.epub and think that index.php is a folder.

I think that this must be rewrited to something also /index.php?book=book_format/19/1984___George_Orwell.epub to work. But I don't know the rewrite rule.

Can you help me?.

Tanks.

It is not a translation problem. The url must not be rewritten in the form you provide, because doing so will break everything. The server expects that index.php will be executed (as it is with apache servers) and that the rest will be passed as extra components.

Your configuration is clearly different from mine and several others that I know of. Your web server appears to be broken. What versions of what web server and php are you using? Is php a module, or are you using CGI?

SOLVED!

I'm using php-fastcgi with nginx frontend. The problem is that the part of url book_format/19/1984___George_Orwell.epub must be passed as PATH_INFO to the CGI.

I give you my config for other users.

Code:
server {

  listen   80; ## listen for ipv4
  listen   [::]:80; ## listen for ipv6

  server_name  books.myserver.com;

  access_log  /var/log/nginx/books.access.log;
  error_log   /var/log/nginx/books.error.log;

  root   /var/www/books/htdocs;

  location / {
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;
  }

  location ~ ^.+\.php {
    fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_index  index.php;
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
    fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $fastcgi_path_info;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
  }

  location ~ /\.ht {
    deny  all;
  }
}
The important is fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$; that cuts the index.php to the path (by example: book_format/19/1984___George_Orwell.epub), and fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; that pass this part as PATH_INFO to fastcgi.

This confirms that it work fine with nginx and php-fastcgi.

Thanks!!!!

Can you explain how the restrict_display_to section works?

What I want to do is make the user "fred" only be able to see works tagged as fiction.

I'm using the line
$config['restrict_display_to'] = array('fred'=>'tags:"=fiction"');

But it just returns no titles whatsoever. Am I being a bit thick?

Ideally, what I want to do is exclude all books tagged "ignore". Is that possible?

Your search syntax is incorrect. The server expects that quotes surround words, not operators ('=' is an operator). This is different from calibre, which expects the text after the colon to be quoted. In addition, there is no need to use quotes if the search text contains no white space.

In your case, use
Code:
$config['restrict_display_to'] = array('fred'=>'tags:=ignore');
or
Code:
$config['restrict_display_to'] = array('fred'=>'tags:="ignore"');

  • The server has been tested with PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3. You should verify that you have one of those.
  • Be sure to run PHP as a module and not in CGI mode (assuming IIS can make that distinction).
  • Given that you are using IIS, you might want to change all the '/' characters to '\\'.
  • the values for config web_dir, smarty_dir, and smarty must be real file paths, probably including a drive letter as you are running on IIS. They are specifically *not* URL paths.
  • I don't know what "binded the directory to port 8060" means, so I can't say if doing so overrides any of the above comments.
Hello All

Environment:
- Windows2008 R2; IIS 7.5; PHP 5.3.8; Smarty 2.6.26; pdo_sqlite 3.7.7.1

Config_local:
$config['web_dir'] = 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot/calibre';
$config['smarty_web_dir'] = $config['web_dir'] . '/smarty';
$config['smarty_dir'] = 'c:/tmp';
$config['smarty'] = 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot/calibre/smarty/libs';

IIS user has RW rights on c:\tmp

UPDATE: former Http error 500 is gone... how hard can it be... forgottten to enable the php extension sqlite3.dll in php.ini... ;-)

Now, something else is wrong.. my website displays the template in stead of opening it.
So it displays:
{config_load file=test.conf section="setup"} {include file="header.tpl" title=foo}

{* bold and title are read from the config file *}
{if #bold#}{/if}
{* capitalize the first letters of each word of the title *}
Title: {#title#|capitalize}
{if #bold#}{/if}

The current date and time is {$smarty.now|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"}

etc. etc.


Do I have to change index.tpl ???


thanks
Henny

It looks like smarty is returning the templates instead of processing them. I have no idea why that might be, but the place to start is to ensure that smarty is correctly installed, that the server is able to use it, that the server can find the smarty code, and that the smarty cache directory is writable.

Hi Chaley,

I have replaced Smarty 2.6.26 into version 3.1.7 and it works !

So now, your content server is running perfecly on
Windows2008 R2; IIS 7.5; PHP 5.3.8; Smarty 3.1.7; pdo_sqlite 3.7.7.1

Thanks for all your work, I'm a happy user now!

Henny.

My vServer runs under PHP 5.3 and cgiwrap.
