hi,

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)

Hi Ernestopriego

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

adam

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?

adam

Thanks. I have emailed you. Cheers. 

ernst - looks like it is the images as i see they are not local. off to bed will change them in the morning

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 ?

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....

Reply to @adam:

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.

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. 

I'm publishing my notes when I successfully installed Objavi on my server. Not sure if it will help, but so you'll at least  see the roadmap. I've installed Objavi on separate server than Booktype (both on my servers):

thanks for the reply,

Reply to @Vibol+Seng:

Objavi needs to access bookizip.py which is inside of Booktype source. So, in your case you need to have source of Booktype somewhere in PYTHONPATH to make this error go away. We are doing some structural changes in Objavi and this "feature" will go away, but for now you must have Booktype source as well.

OH I see, I already have Booktype source, so where do I need to add this path ?

I'm stuck now at the same problem my error log shows:

I changed a lot of stuff in config.py but I'm not getting it to work.

And that was solved with (found the the fix in google cache):

cd /home/rdv/objavi2/

git clone git://github.com/douglasbagnall/epub.git iarchive

And again a new problem:
cat log/objavi.log
Traceback (most recent call last):

    main()

    f = open(config.FONT_LIST_INCLUDE)

So I simply did this:
touch cache/font-list.inc
chmod 777 cache/font-list.inc

But still a internal server error when I want to visit objavi2 in the browser and in the log:

cache/font-list.inc is empty...

But... there is something going on when I want to publish a book:

Well I'm stuck for now, help would be appriciated!

Well I feel a bit stupid... forgot to install this, that's what you get for working this late ;)



easy_install lxml

apt-get install pdfedit xvfb pdftk psutils poppler-utils msttcorefonts



So, I'm able to publish to PDF, but the contents of the pdf file is a page with this:


Not Found

The requested URL /missing_path was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at objavi2.test.nl Port 80



The objavi.log is attached.

Well I managed to solve this error, it was easy.
My Booki source is found here:
/home/rdv/Booki
Objavi2 here:
/home/rdv/objavi2

What I did to solve the "ImportError: No module named booki.bookizip" problem is:
ln -s /home/rdv/Booki/lib/booki /home/rdv/objavi2

Works for me thanks !

Nothing when I try publishing on booktype for : booki/logs/booki.log

well there is something written in it but there is no history of error when I try publishing (whatever type of document I'm trying to publish).

When something like that happened to me, the log showed that I missed one url change in setting objavi.

I see that this part of code in objavi/cgi_utils.py produces the "missing_path":
_htdocs = os.path.abspath(config.HTDOCS)
def path2url(path, default='/missing_path?%(path)s', full=False):
    """convert local file paths to htdocs-relative addresses.  If the
    file is not in the web tree, return default"""
    if path.startswith('file:///'):
        path = path[7:]
    path = os.path.abspath(path)
    if path.startswith(_htdocs):
        path = path[len(_htdocs):]
    else:
        path = default % {'path': urllib.quote(path)}
    if full:
        return 'http://%s%s' % (SERVER_NAME, path)
    return path

Can you check your objavi/config.py and TMPDIR variable. Is it TMPDIR = 'htdocs/tmp' ? The problem you have is before starting wkhtmltopdf Objavi will check if paths to temporarily created files are where Objavi is installed. If it is not, then it will add this this missing_file url. 

Beer for me! :)
