Error when trying to connect to server

Diana495 · 04-21-2009, 04:21 PM

Hi, I've using Calibre to transfer books to my Ipod Touch for the past couple of weeks and the process has been easy and flawless. Until this morning when I tried to connect to the Calibre server from Stanza and got a message saying that that the "Catalog is Empty". So I tested the server on Calibre and when the web page opened up, an error message popped up saying that:

"The page at http://127.0.0.1:8005 says:
Error: error
Undefined"

The Calibre header is on the webpage, as is all the category headings (Title, Author, ect.), but there are no books listed.

I'm pretty much a luddite when it comes to this stuff, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a Mac OS X 10.5.6 and using Calibre 0.5.8.

I don't know if this will be helpful, but this is what keeps being repeated in the Error log:

This is caused by a bug in calibre which will be fixed in the next release. It happens when you have a blank author field for a book in your library.

Thank you so much! I feel a bit silly now, I had accidentally deleted an author without realizing it. It works fine now.

Thanks for your help and for Calibre.

No need to feel silly, it was a bug in calibre, and I wish all calibre users gave as clear and concise bug reports as you, would make my job a lot easier

Hi,

Reviving an old thread, as this still occurs on 0.6.0b17.

With one or more 'blank' Authors, I get the following error form the content manager server:

File "calibre/library/server.pyo", line 355, in library
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute '_'

Kind regards,

Geoff
