We tried installing booktyope in iMac, Mountain Lion OS. It seemed to have installed ok, We could access the server from our networked PC's and we were also able to create a book. But when we tried to create a section in the book, the server seems to stall. It says it's creating the section but it never finishes.
If you need other details to help me troubleshoot this problem, I'll be happy to provide it, I just don't know what other details are relevant.
Does creation of chapters works maybe? If not, then you probably don't have Redis server started in the background. If you do have, then problem might be somewhere else.
