Missing Book Directory after 2.1.0 manual install





  • p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }


    Hi



    I completely removed
    the automated install of Booktype 2.0 but left my original
    postgresdb. I did a manual install from the tar file and I've got
    Booktype 2.1.0 running but it seems to be having problems with books
    I created using version 2.0.



    It displays the
    books I previously created, but I try to edit a chapter it will not
    save or close it and displays a 'Loading Chapter' message at the top
    of the screen. (I have a screenshot so will try and upload it with
    this message)



    Looking at in the
    booktype.log I saw that an error is showing there about a missing
    file or directory in the books directories (See below for the last few lines from the file)



    I did run the
    ./manage.py migrate and the other commands but it told me there was nothing to
    migrate, so am not sure how these missing directories should have
    been created. I took a look in the /instance1/data/books directory and it is empty. Any ideas or help welcome. :-)



    Thanks

    Hi Sharan,

    Do you have backup copies of the books from the previous install, such as EPUBs? It may be that you deleted some book files, such as images, when wiping your previous install. As I understand it, static files imported into a book are not stored in the Booktype database itself.

    Cheers!
