COPS on Synology DSM 6

[TylonHH]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up COPS on my Synlogy with DSM 6

I followed the Howto Synology without success.

• installed COPS via synocommunity
• created an sheard Folder "cops" with all user access read/write (just to get sure)
• copied the metadata.db to that cops folder and some folders with ebooks inside
• installed/enabled Web Station with PHP 5.6 and Apache HTTP Server 2.2 (enabled Cache, error and specific open_basedir :/volume1/cops/. Q: is it right with that starting : ?
• I edited with SSH the /volume1/@appstore/cops/share/cops/config_local.php to that

<?php
    if (!isset($config))
        $config = array();

    /*
     * The directory containing calibre's metadata.db file, with sub-directories
     * containing all the formats.
     * BEWARE : it has to end with a /
     */
    $config['calibre_directory'] = '/volume1/cops/';

    /*
     * Catalog's title
     */
    $config['cops_title_default'] = "COPS";

    /*
     * use URL rewriting for downloading of ebook in HTML catalog
     * See README for more information
     *  1 : enable
     *  0 : disable
     */
    $config['cops_use_url_rewriting'] = "1";

• when I open the Link http://192.168.178.58/cops/ from the package center COPS it shows me No input file specified.

So what else did I wrong?

OK one step further:
I changed the basedir to /tmp:/var/services/tmp:/var/services/web:/var/services/homes:/volume1/calibre/
and now the checkconfig says everthing is ok.

But when I open the normal cops page it's just grey blank and empty

Noob: wrong db.

please close issue

I have the same problem what do you mean with wrong db?

[TylonHH]

Puuuh, good question.
As I remember I defined the wrong database. Check your settings and also your phpmyadmin.

Hi Guys, it is now 2020 and i have been catched with ->this database error<- thing in COPS, i have tried out several things but at the end i'm lucky to get COPS up and running, my metadata.db could not be read by COPY, because it was in the same directory , where all my ebooks where hosted.
i have created an extra dir /library wihtin this path --> /volume1/calibre/library ...
i have copied the ->metadata.db<- to the dir -> /library <- now the problem was solved for me!

i edited the dataset config_local.php in /var/services/web/cops of my DS

....
if (!isset($config))
$config = array();

/*
 * The directory containing calibre's metadata.db file, with sub-directories
 * containing all the formats.
 * BEWARE : it has to end with a /
 */
$config['calibre_directory'] = '/volume1/calibre/library/';

/*
 * Catalog's title
 */
$config['cops_title_default'] = "COPS";

/*
 * use URL rewriting for downloading of ebook in HTML catalog
 * See README for more information
 *  1 : enable
 *  0 : disable
 */
$config['cops_use_url_rewriting'] = "1";

..
in the config of WEB Staion PHP Opnen Basedir it looks like this:
/tmp:/var/services/tmp:/var/services/web:/var/services/homes:/volume1/calibre/library

that was my effort off trial and error after 7days :)

thanks and

mercy bien a sublucas pour cet logiciel 🥇
