Publish/Book export error ("Could not send the publishing request") - Booktype Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Joris · Post edited by Joris at 2016-06-30 10:48:36

Hi everyone!

I followed along this nice tutorial to setup my own booktype version for testing purpose. I did everything exactly as explained in the tutorial (just didn't installed the outgoing mail server for email notifications yet), but still get an error when I press the "Publish" button to export a book (please see the log excerpt).

Could someone support?

Cheers,

Joris

Hi Joris, I see that http://booktype.electricelephantpublishing.de/_convert/ is a valid URL. You might try changing the value of EXPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS to:

EXPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', '*']

in the file:

/var/www/booktype/instance1/instance1_site/settings/base.py

I would then suggest running the commands:

sudo supervisorctl restart all
sudo service apache2 reload

This will restart the Celery workers and reload the Apache configuration. Then try publishing the EPUB again.

Let us know how you get on!

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I did what you suggested and it worked! Thank you very much for your support.

Cheers,

Joris

I came across a follow-up error while exporting the .mobi version on a book.

The .mobi file export runs and an export prompt is visible but the "MOBI" button to download the file is deactivated.

Could you help? :)

Hi Joris, glad to hear you got the EPUB export working. I think this error was due to switching between IP address and hostname after the install.

The MOBI error is different, as export of MOBI files requires an extra step that we do not cover in the DigitalOcean tutorial. In the base.py file you will see the default .mobi converter is calibre, but it is also possible to use the kindlegen tool:

# MOBI EXPORT
MOBI_CONVERT = "calibre"

So if you want to use calibre, you need to use the command to install it:

sudo apt-get install calibre

Then the 'No such file or directory' in the log should go away.

Cheers!

Daniel

Howdy, Stranger!
