I've been trying for the past couple days to set up Calibre-Server on my headless unbuntu 12.04 server.
I've mostly followed this guide:
http://madness.codydeschenes.com/201...alibre-server/
The server is up and running alright; I can access it on my laptop by pointing my browser to the headless server's ip, and the correct port for calibre-server.
The problem is that calibre-server can't locate my library. I get the following error: "No books found".
I have set the correct path to my library with the "--with-library=" command, so i am not sure what the issue is.
The problem could be that I've never used Calibre before (previously just dragged and dropped books to my tablet), so I don't have a metadata.bd file.
Does metadata.db need to exist prior to running Calibre-server? Or can calibre-server create this file?
I tried running "calibredb add [library location]" and this did create a metadata.db file, but I still get the same error.
I have no way of running calibre for the desktop, so I need to find an alternate way to create this database file.
Another issue could be folder structure. I have it set up with folders for Authors, then individual folders for books. Inside each book folder is the book file, a cover picture and a metadata.opf file
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
