Content Server --url-prefix

[danorum]

First off... AWESOME FEATURE!

1 question and a small bug...

Is there a way to specify this command line argument somewhere so that when the Calibre GUI starts the server it starts with this argument?


There is a bug in the rewrite of the main browse page. The icons are written correctly, but the paths they link to are not. For example:

<li><a title="Browse books by All books" href="/browse/category/allbooks">&nbsp;</a><img src="/books/browse/icon/book.png" alt="All books" /><span class="label">All books</span></li>

my prefix is set to /books. I have set an additional proxy redirect for /browse to /books/browse, so I am getting by for now. This feature has simplified my reverse proxy significantly and shouldn't require more work with any changes to the content server.


Thanks again!

Bug will be fixed in the next release, and not, URL Prefix is a command line only option.

Hi,

I am using 0.7.33 with the --url-prefix option on Linux.

The command line I am using is

/usr/bin/calibre-server \
--port=8765 \
--with-library=/home/calibre/export \
--url-prefix=/calibre

When I try to access http://my-server:8765/calibre, though, I get an 404:

The path '/calibre' was not found.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 606, in respond
    cherrypy.response.body = self.handler()
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/cherrypy/_cperror.py", line 227, in __call__
    raise self
NotFound: (404, "The path '/calibre' was not found.")

Access to http://my-server:8765/ works perfectly, showing me the start page of my library.

Any idea how I might start debugging this issue?


Regards,
Hakan

I should have included that in my bug report as well (but forgot due to all of the different things I was trying). For some reason the root server automatically displays the /browse directory, but the server/prefix, it doesn't. If you go to server/prefix/browse, you should get the front page.

fixed in next release.

Just picked up the new version.

That fixed the issues I had with the prefix not showing in the browse html file for some of the hrefs as well as getting http://server/prefix to work fine. However, when I browse the library, once I get to a screen that should show books, I just get an ERROR where the book list should be.

works for me, what error do you get.

Dumb user error.. I don't have it working, but it wasn't "working" in the earlier version either. Turns out my proxy is having an issue when the UI is trying to access /prefix/brose/booklist_page. I think this might be a POST and I don't have something configured right.

Works fine internally, and the old UI works fine through the proxy.

Fixed it. Configuration error I had in the ISAPI filter on my proxy box. Thanks, and sorry to raise a bug where none exists.
