Example on a Unix computer:
---------------------------------------
Say you've got Calibre up and running, and that its database folder is ~/calibre/database.
Let's assume that you installed calibre2opds into /usr/local/calibre2opds.
Then, when you type the following command, the catalogs will be generated into ~/calibre/data/_catalog with the default options :
/usr/local/calibre2opds/bin/calibre2opds ~/calibre/data
If you want to change the default behavior, you'll have to use options ; issue the /usr/local/calibre2opds/bin/calibre2opds --help command to see which options are available.
as you can see, you do not have to set the catalog in the same folder than the database |
That answer is obsolete (it applied to calibre2opds v1) as you can no longer provide parameters via the command line. You have to set all parameters via the GUI (although you can run with previously stored parameters via the command line).

I used the gui, that gives you the possibility to point the result to another folder than the one where calibre is located

I am still not sure what you did? When running in normal mode you set the Calibre library path (Database folder) and the catalog folder. The destination folder option is disabled in normal mode. Unless you set something else such as Publish or Nook modes there is no option to specify a different target folder, and they are only expected to be used when copying the library to another location. I still want to work out what this extra step was that you used to specify a folder that was not the Calibre library folder as it sounds like there is a path that does not include the checks that are on with default settings.
