    Hello,

    After a very rocky installation I now have Booktype 2.0 running on Ubuntu 14.04.


    When I try and publish, Celery picks up and execute the job but encounters one of two errors (depending on the type of output requested). For PDF, I end up with a PDF file containing the title and TOC, but no copy text and the following errors:


    [2015-10-21 15:10:13,773: INFO/MainProcess] Received task: booktype.apps.edit.tasks.publish_book[5bcabf4c-a1f3-433d-9e9f-52c371df6b32]

    In Celery 3.2 this will result in an exception being

    When choosing EPUB, MOBI or XHTML I get an error reporting back with no file available and the following errors in the Celery log:

    Is this likely a bug or configuration issue?


    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry not an answer.

    I have a similar problem.

    After a publish, no pdf but this message in /var/www/booktype/instance1/logs/booktype-celery.error.log :

    INFO/MainProcess] Received task: booktype.apps.edit.tasks.publish_book[3a4bcae8-d70d-4d63-92b1-b2fd9c734d3a]
    [2015-10-26 14:24:32,715: ERROR/Worker-2] Could not load URL /_convert/.

    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 127, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 396, in open
    protocol = req.get_type()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 258, in get_type
    raise ValueError, "unknown url type: %s" % self.__original
    ValueError: unknown url type: /_convert/
    [2015-10-26 14:24:32,716: ERROR/Worker-2] Could not fetch the book from [/_convert/]

    An idea anyone ?

    Hi PhA!

    It is trying to communicate with the publishing engine. It thinks that publishing engine is at URL "/_convert/" and that is wrong, because hostname is missing.

    Check your dev.py or prod.py settings file and check the value of this option: THIS_BOOKTYPE_SERVER. If yo are hosting it at 192.168.1.2 and port 8000 it should be:
    THIS_BOOKTYPE_SERVER='192.168.1.2:8000' and if you are hosting it at bk.myserver.com over port 80, it should be
    THIS_BOOKTYPE_SERVER='bk.myserver.com'.

    After that, you should check that you have:
    BOOKTYPE_URL = 'http://{}'.format(THIS_BOOKTYPE_SERVER)
    CONVERT_URL = BOOKTYPE_URL

    This is written by default. After this changes it should be able to construct correct url like http://bk.myserver.com/_convert/ or whatever.

    Also, check that you have in base.py
    EXPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', '*']

    This is not safe, but you can do it just to make it work for now.

    Aco
