Hi ilovejedd,
I've just got round to trying out your readymade environment in a VM (finally persuaded work to get a VMWare license for me
) I've not been able to before because of running Calibre 6. I've run into a few problems which I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on.
I've done a completely fresh install using Calibre 5.14 and xampplite-fic.exe. Calibre currently has no books installed and the server is switched off (I have also tried it with the content server running).
I've not modified the catalog.xml yet as I wanted to ensure it was working before playing about with that.
When I try to open the catalog in stanza 1.9 I just timeout every time (I believe this may be down to me needing to find a way of port forwarding from the Host to the Guest OS in VMWare, I may have made a mistake in using NAT for the VMWare network instead of just using Host based networking).
I've also tried connecting to the local server in the VM using Opera and IE8 both instances list the categories in catalog.xml but there are no clickable links, it's literally just a list (ie the title with no story id's to download/convert) . As I don't use RSS/XML feeds I'm not sure if this is normal or if there's a problem?
Any assistance you can render will as usual be gratefully received.
