Error when running calibredb from Cron - Login related I think
Hi All,
I've been using So I've installed Calibre on a Rocky Linux box and wanted to have an Incoming directory on the server, so I can drop any new books there and have a CRON job run to pick them up. This works, but only for a while and then I get an Server 500 error. Searching this seems to show this is a authentication issue, but I have the correct username/password in the command. When it does start failing, I log onto the web based GUI, on port 8080, and it starts working. So although the username/password is in the command, it doesn't work until I actually log into the server. Cron line: Code:
*/5 * * * * calibredb add /home/incoming_books/ -r --with-library http://localhost:8080#calibre-library --username <username> --password <password> && rm -r /home/incoming_books/* This is the output I get: Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main File "runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code File "site.py", line 45, in <module> File "site.py", line 41, in main File "calibre/db/cli/main.py", line 250, in main File "calibre/db/cli/main.py", line 40, in run_cmd File "calibre/db/cli/cmd_add.py", line 474, in main File "calibre/db/cli/cmd_add.py", line 268, in do_add File "calibre/db/cli/main.py", line 182, in run File "calibre/db/cli/main.py", line 204, in remote_run File "mechanize/_mechanize.py", line 241, in open_novisit File "mechanize/_mechanize.py", line 313, in _mech_open mechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error Paul |
