Hi QNAP,

your installed the qpkg-version - small tip : Stephane released some days ago the original 2.1.1 version as qpkg. 

I also had like you the problem with non-basic letters, in German specially "äöüß", so i renamed it into 

"international" writings (ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue and ß=ss) and voila : never see the double-scanned-file-entries again ... 

I dont know how this goes for your special letters, but it is only a workaround, not a solution... 

It may happen because the JAVA Runtime installed on your NAS cannot handle this special letters in your file system 

OR the database (or the scan engine) has some trouble using UTF8 ... ? 

@Tom : Did you implement in your DB (or the scan engine) the UTF8 or just ISO-8859-x codepage ? 

Hope that may explain your problem - but it is still not solved, just work-arounded ;-) .. 

Best regards from Munich !

Hello QNAP,

can you please post here a log entry from your running ubooquity installation where a already scanned file is listed ?

And did you install ubooquity via qpkg from gnapclub or via manual installation - i didn't find any version from Qtoolbox...

Best regards

Hi Evan,

that's pretty good to read, even you have to rescan/rework your library - but sometimes a fresh start is much easier than complete get to the ground of errors (damn hard learned by Microsoft but earned some good money with this "workaround" ;-) ...

@Tom: this case seems to be closed, nothing more to do - just keep comic reading ... 

Hi Evan,

it looks like the content scan found every time empty folders : 

/Volume/MEDIA/COMICS/Marvel/Death of X (2017)   -> looks like there is no content to scan ...

So, my question on you : is there any ubooquity-usable content in this folder(s) ? 

if yes, the rights from the account running java/ubooquity has eventually no access rights to go into this folders,

if no, put some comics into it and let ubooquity scan again ;-) .... 

I've had the same "error" and after check the folders access rights, i'm just remembering my content movements ... 

hope that helps ! 

best regards

Hello Bernd,

did you fully cleanup (backup -> delete all old config Files) your Ubooqity-Dir or just "uninstall" by replace the jar-file ? 

Remember : a real fresh start begins with nothing old - and there is an newer version -> 2.1.1 .... 

and the fresh-starting Admin-Port ist 2203, not 2302, too ... 

I've running on my TS453 an actual installation via qpkg from https://www.qnapclub.eu/index.php?act=detail&qpkg_id=206

and replace the "old" 2.1.0-jar via ssh with the current 2.1.1 and it runs fine without any problems or trouble ... 

My comic/ebook folder is outside from my Ubooqity-folder, so I did a full cleanup by deleting the complete old Ubooqity-folder after uninstalling the old qpkg and only then i install the new qpkg - so there is no old-app-garbage to collect... 

Hope that helps !

best regards

Hi Mroversi,

absolute no problem, even with mistakes you can build knowledge - i make a lot and learn many things with them ;-).. 

you run your NAS - Webserver under httpS isn't relevant for ubooquity, because ubooquity runs his own "web"-server.

there are some instructions here in the forum if you really want to secure your external connection to ubooquity, 

but normally it isn't necessary. I'm running it on a NAS with regular https without it, and it works perfect - even with external Clients on android etc. 

But, if you mean the user httpd, there can be the circumstance, that he has insufficient rights running java correctly, there may be some problems... please check it with the user admin or root, with this user it should work.. 

Back to your general problem Ubooquity does not run : 

Did you check there is a running instance of java (with " ps -A | grep java " you can this quick check it) ? 

Did you get any "error" messages ? normally it should work if you really clean start over with my instruction ...

Here is the point we here in the forum need some more detailed information to help you ..

and, if you want the hopeful finally running Ubooquity external reachable, you have to forward the port 2202 for 

viewing and the port 2203 for administration on your internet router to your NAS - how that works depends on 

your internet router model, but if that function possible given, there should be some instruction found on the web 

or in the administration interface on your internet router ...

or, in some very strange case, your user account who is running java has insufficient rights accessing "/tmp/" ...

I"ve sometime see this "errot/bug' according to an weird/strange 'security enviroment guideline' on developing systems or if someone sets a link to /tmp from an ramdrive who is full or does not exist.... 

Hey AsaTyr,

"Fall back" settings are absolut not usually for Ubooquity - if the settings correct and accessible (for the Java Runtime). 

So here my in my mind only meaningful question : you edit the files >directly< or just via the ubooquity admin console ? 

Direct editing often go directly wrong or supplies just more trouble -> i'm always use the regular admin console  "http://YOURQNAP-IP:2203/admin".

If you use the admin console, perhaps the config files are meantime write-protected because of become insufficient 

user rights happening by direct editing as user admin/root (java has a significant less rights compare to root) ?

You can start over with an complete empty ubooquity directory exept the Ubooquity.jar file to be sure not loosing any access rights on your config/database files ... 

i'm testet it here with my installation and write protected config files and/or write protected database, and my system "operate" like your problem with serious unexpectable trouble .

hope that helps !

(not being @ Oktoberfest here in Munich tonight because of too cloudy/rainy weather ...)

ok, your fine, BUT : 

you looking @ an empty Database (localipnas:2202 is the library interface), try localipnas:2203 ;-) ... 

(localipnas:2203 is the ADMIN interface, an this interface should be self explained...) 

set up the necessary path information(s) for your cbr and/or epubs etc. click on "save & restart" and try again with localipnas:2202

hope this helps !

" -adminport 2203 "
