Hi, Utkarsh<br>
<br>
First, I would test the server. Put a simple index.html file in the
server/ directory:<br>
<br>
<!DOCTYPE html><br>
<html><br>
<head><br>
<title>test</title><br>
</head><br>
<body><br>
<h1>TEST</h1><br>
</body><br>
</html><br>
<br>
See that this displays in your browser at <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/index.html">http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/index.html</a><br>
<br>
This will ensure the directory permissions are ok that the html
server is working.<br>
<br>
If that is ok, then the error message. Usually, I grep for something
like 'error downloading' to see where the error message originates.<br>
<br>
I assume that the get-books.cfg shows the collection in the combobox
on the toolbar and that clicking on that shows the categories you
have defined. <br>
<br>
By the way: I assume htmlf is a typo. Also you are probably running
SimpleHTTPServer in a command line window. This window should show
any error messages. Since the base code is python, you can also add
print statements which will appear in the window (stdout).<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
</div>
I created a folder in my home directory by the name <b>'server'</b>
, put all the extracted book collections inside it and start
a localhost server with <b>'python -m SimpleHTTPServer'</b>
. <br>
I then added that bookcollection url ( in my case it was - <b><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/en-ck12/index.htmlf"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/en-ck12/index.htmlf">http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/en-ck12/index.htmlf</a></a></b>)
to one of the already available book genres in <b>get-books.cfg</b>
. <br>
<br>
On clicking that genre I get this error message - '<b>There
was an error downloading the list</b>.'<br>
<br>

<br>
I am not sure what question you are asking.<br>
<br>
Looking at the code: the repositories seem to be defined
in get-books.cfg.<br>
<br>
The actual mechanics of accessing the network appears to
be handled by 'feedparse', which is a python module
described at <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
What are you trying to do and what is your problem with
it? Did you add a repository to get-books.cfg? DId it show
up as you expected in the <br>
toolbar widget? What happens if you select it? Does it
show the catalogs you entered? What happens if you select
a catalog? Does it show a list of books?<br>
What happens when you click on a book - does it get
downloaded to the Journal?<br>
<br>
My suggestion is to add Rachel as an online repository
getting the books from its site as a first step. Once that
is working, changing the urls to local should be easier to
test since you would already know what to expect. <a

is the site for Gutenberg. Each of the links on that page
could be a catalog. Then clicking on one to show the list
of books in the right panel. <br>
