Timeout on loading many titles

aurigod · 10-29-2015, 12:50 PM

After installed CC, all is fine except it is impossible to load titles (15000 items).
Is it possible to increase it?
thanks

That message is not coming from CC. It seems to be coming from some web server that is not a calibre web server, perhaps something like COPS. Thirty seconds is a standard maximum amount of run time for PHP scripts. You need to change it in your php.ini.

IMPORTANT NOTE: CC works only with a real calibre content server, not with a replacement like COPS. Even if you make the timeouts go away by editing php.ini, you will not be able to download books from that web server into CC.

EDIT: Also note that the calibre content server must be version 0.9.2 or later, preferably 2.4 or later. I mention this because I see on another thread that you are using a raspberry pi server. IIRC the package available for raspberry pi is ancient, somewhere arount 0.8. Of course I might not be remembering correctly.

Sorry, but I think COPS and CC are similar, they read the content of Calibre DataBase.
Anyway the problem has been fixed by increasing timeout (the process with 15000 titles on my Raspberry takes 120s.

CC has three connection types. Two of them, the wireless device connection and the content server connection, do not read the calibre database. Instead they depend on calibre itself to read the database, process the information, and give it to CC. The third connection type, CC cloud connection, does directly read the calibre database.

Just to note again: CC's content server connection will not work with COPS. Downloading books will fail.

you are certainly right but I have not Calibre process on my raspberry/debian and CC works.
I have just the database directory.

CC can connect to a COPS server. It can even navigate the server, mostly. However, downloading a book or looking at book details using a COPS server will fail because CC uses special calibre server functions to get book metadata. Also note that CC's automatic server location function will probably not work unless COPS uses mDNS broadcasts, which I don't think it does.

If you have a calibre content server running on a different computer on the same network then CC will probably automatically find it and connect to it. That may be what you are seeing.

Why don't you have calibre on your Raspberry Pi? Is it because of the ancient version?

A general problem with debian, I find.

Try installing ArchLinuxARM, they update calibre weekly.
Arch Linux usually updates things as fast as upstream releases them.

Plus it becomes easy to roll your own through the power of the AUR.

Hello Eschwartz, I have installed ArchLinux on the Raspberry Pi 2.
Can you tell me where I can find an installation procedure of Calibre?
I found a few but I prefer follow your advice.
Thanks
