content server error

(sorry for my bad English)

I have problem with content server, and in connection with this with transport ePubs to my iPad.

After i start content server i can use all functions on the same computer except Rating, after press Rating link i got error:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\cherrypy\_cprequest.py", line 606, in respond

Additionaly i cannot connect via Stanza from Ipad - still Searching in Sharing mode

It appears after 0.7.34 installing.

I can connect OK from Stanza on the iPad. I would guess that it is probably your firewall that is blocking the connection. Are you specifying a fixed IP address in Stanza or letting it try and find the Content server automatically. I have found that the fixed IP approach tends to be more reliable.

Having said that I find that it tends to be much more convenient most of the time with the iPad to do USB transfers via iTunes to iBooks. You lose the remote access facility (as iBooks does not have it), but you get much better integration with Calibre.

Fix has been submitted to Kovid.

Edit: oops -- I see that he has already done it.
