I am trying to set up the Calibre server so that my family and I can access my (large) collection of ebooks from our homes at all corners of the UK. It works beautifully on my home wi-fi connection, but I'm struggling with the web server. I'm using Megabooks on my iphone for testing. I obtained my IP address by googling "my ip addess" and adding ":8080" after it. The error message is "Error Adding Catalog" and "Cannot connect with catalog" so it is connecting with something right? The catalogue will be very big. Is that a problem? Thanks! Sorry for asking questions which I'm sure I should be able to sort out myself!
