MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Autodetected Calibre content server times out

Mountaineer · 06-28-2010, 02:20 AM

Ok, I've played with it a little bit.
For a start, I just updated to Calibre 0.7.6.

With /etc/nsswitch.conf set to this:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal dns [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4

I got this:
thill@cheezeburger:~$ calibre
Upgrading database to version 12...

No access, either by browsing or direct IP.

Then I removed all the words that had mdns in it so nsswitch.conf looked like this:
hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return]

And here's the output after starting calibre, starting the content server and attempting to access it, both via browsing and direct IP within stanza:

Now I understand you are saying that you suspect some rogue mdns "thing" is out there interfering with the server, but I get the same results on my work network as I do on my home network (despite wildly different configurations) and with the mdns lookups disabled in nsswitch.conf, I would have thought any rogue elements would have been ignored.

I'd love to help you debug this, just give me some advice on what to do.
