EBook Publishing Issue

    I have successfully installed Booktype on my local machine.  I am having an issue when I publish an ebook.  Every link offered on http://objavi.booki.cc/books/... does not work (404 not found).  I am unsure where to troubleshoot.  Installing a local version of Objavi seems unnecessary if I can used the shared public server. 

    Please help.

    hi,

    Can you email me privately your installation url? I can have a look. If you do so I will create an account and a book and check things. Then tell you how to delete the account and book.

    If this isnt ok (and I totally understand if it isnt) then please tell me the name of the book and I will look at the Objavi server.

    ah sorry...I see you have it installed on a local machine so it wont be possible to access. Send me the objavi URLs that are being returned

    Hi there, I'm having the same problem. An epub and odt version worked but not the screen HTML or the book format which are the ones I really need. Any idea why this is happening? Any help appreciated! (I'm using the web-based version on booki.cc)

    I meant screen PDF, not HTML. Sorry.

    Hi Ernestopriego

    Can you post the url of the book? I can try some tests.

    Hi adam,

    I don't want this to be public yet as it's just a test (need to add covers and final proofs)

    Thank you! The initial epub test worked fine by the way.

    Sorry, I mean the url to the book page in www.booki.cc

    Also, can you give admin rights to user 'booki' (in book settings tab in the edit page) as i think the book is currently hidden right?

    to add 'booki' to admin goto the books _edit page, click 'settings', click 'manage roles' and in the dialog choose 'Administrator' and enter 'booki'. Click 'add' and then 'close'

    When I have checked the book you can remove me from the admin rights.

    Thanks. I think I see the problem. Each chapter should have just one h1. At the moment your chapters have two - the headline and the credit directly under it. I am going through from the top and replacing the second line (credit) as a h2. Then I will test.

    Some book my the way, looks fantastic.

    Found the issue. All books need at least one image uploaded to the booktype server. Its a bug...i will investigate the issue and get it fixed.

    Your pdf should generate fine now

    Hi !
    I'm experiencing the same kind of problem...
    I've installed booktype on a virtual server, and looks like it's working fine.
    But I'm not able to publish it in any format...
    It says that : Your book has been generated at this url: http://objavi.booki.cc/books/analisiprogettonagios-en-2012.02.23-11.55.34.pdf

    But i get a 404 Not Found error....

    Any idea ?

    You need to register your booktype url with the objavi (rendering) server. you can use ours if you like, send me your install url and i will add it.

    At this point, I guess I have another problem... (my fault, I'm not so good in configuring Apache).

    I have two websites under the same directory:

    /var/www/wgwiki (an internal wiki)
    /var/www/booktype

    I access them from outside with http://xxx.yyy.it/wgwiki or http://xxx.yyy.it/booktype

    If in apache2 config I put :

    WSGIScriptAlias /booktype /var/www/booktype/booki.wsgi

    everything works fine, but objavi cannot contact my webserver...

    If I change it in :

    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/booktype/booki.wsgi

    Locally nothing works (when I poinjt to wgwiki it says that it's not abook...), but objavi can retrieve the list of my books.

    I'm stuck....

    Hey,

    Can you register fi.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita as well on Objavi, it is still pointing at fi-new.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita, which seems to work, but might be causing some trouble at some point... ;)

    Reply to @adam:

    Is there a way to have a local objavi server?  My machines are all inside a private network and there is no way to expose the URL to the public network.

    hi Gary

    The sources are here:

    We are currently upgrading them...you may wish to wait 3 weeks fo rthe new version as it will be easy to install

    I've tried this, but I seem to still have some setup issues.  My client (BookType) sends a request and I can see it get started, but the request info seems off.  I've attached my error log from the Objavi server.

    Any ideas what I'm missing?

    n.b. is there any other support vehicle than this forum as using it doesn't really fit my work flow.  A mailing list or direct contact would be much preferable.  Thanks

    hi Gary

    Can you email me:
    * the url of your objavi server
    * the url of your booktype server

    and I will look at it

    I might suggest adding Objavi as a prerequisite in the install doc since it's easy to misunderstand that you wouldn't need to rely on someone elses rendering server.
