30 second timeout on server

Bikerman · 01-10-2018, 07:17 PM

Hi,
First - thanks for the awesome product - I love it.

Now, here's my little issue....
I'm running calibre on a Unix (Ubuntu) platform, and it is callled from the Joomla CMS.
When I try to read a book on the server I frequently get a timeout error as follows:
Failed to communicate with "/get/cover/1885/Fiction?library_id=Fiction&1515629329547", timed out after: 30 seconds

The books are mostly PDF format and around 1 MB apiece.

The problem is that I'm not sure what is generating the timeout.
Is it a php timeout? Or a Joomla server timeout or a Calibre timeout?

I've tried changing the timeout and ajax-timeout parameter when starting calibre-server as a daemon but that doesn't appear to address the problem.

I've also changed the php.ini max_execution_time & max_input_time (to 90s) but still no joy.
Any help gratefully accepted :-)

You will need to look at the logs of the various pieces of software involved. First try accessing the content server without any intermediaries and see if the error remains. If not, then you know it is caused by the intermediaries.
