Hello all,

I have an existing installation of COPS which is working. I used a command line utility called 'drive' to create a Google Drive synchronised folder in my COPS directory and then I point the config file at it. It works just fine.
The trouble is I have to pull the files from cloud storage to my server for it to work. Good for synchronisation, but if I'm going to have the files take up space on my server anyway then may as well host them there in the first place.

I installed ownCloud, and have got it working. But I can't get COPS to accept the new library location.

COPS is installed at /var/www/vhosts/mysite
Calibre library is located at /var/www/ownCloud/data/user/files/Documents/Ebooks

When I point the COPS config file at the new location, it complains that it can't find the metadata.db file. The file definitely exists, of course, so there must be some other reason why COPS can't read it.

I also tried creating a symbolic link to the location inside the COPS installation folder but I experience the same trouble.

Has anyone here got experience with getting COPS to see a metadata.db file located in an ownCloud installation on the same server?
