Browser problem "book-manifest"/can't read ePub // standalone content server on Linux

Henning · 10-21-2018, 06:52 AM

Dear all

I´m a total novice when it comes to Linux - so sorry for all my stupid questions.

=> background information
- Stand-alone calibre-server running on Linux/Ubuntu Server (MacMini).
- Access to ePub via Internet / WLAN possible
- possible to upload and change ePub information

==> Problem
Can't read ePub in browser-application. I always get the same message:

Failed to communicate with "/book-manifest/164/EPUB?library_id=calibre-library&1540111657359", with status: [500] Internal Server Error

I do have NO idea of how to solve this problem. As I am a novice to Linux I would like to ask to answer as precisely as possible --- I would like to directly copy/past your instruction....

Thanks for your help.
I very much support the idea of sharing epubs by using calibre - calibre server is a perfect tool to do so.

Look at the server logs to get more information about the error. Where you will find them will depend on how you are running the server. Easieist way is to run the server from inside calibre rather than the standalone one, which will let you see the logs directly from Preferences->Sharing over the net
