No Cover Art in the Booklistings

[mattmaria]

Hello!

First of all, thank you for this wonderfull piece of software Kovid Goyal! It is very helpfull.

Since i updated to calibre version 7.0 i see no cover art in the book-listing-pages on the calibre server. The httpd-log shows that the files are requested and delivered. The covers are shown in the book-details-view. So they are available.
On the book-listing-pages instead of the covers the titles and authors are shown.


from the httpd-logs:

I have tried it with current versions of edge, firefox and chrome on win10 and fedora. I deactived the adblocker, tried to open the listings on localhost (as i have the calibre-server behind apache as proxy), but the cover art won't show up.

If i try the mobile-version under https://servername.tld/calibre/mobile the request is answered with a http 500 response:
ip.red.act.ed - - [19/Nov/2023:18:07:55 +0100] "GET /calibre/get/thumb/2989/CB HTTP/1.1" 500 -

What can i do to get the cover art shown again?
The calibre-server is running on fedora 36 (i know, i know, i should upgrade it, but there are unresolveable dependencies hindering me to do so.)

friendly regards

Look at the actual server logs not the logs of your proxy.

To follow kovidgoyals tip to look into the calibre-server-logs i had to modify the service-file as i didn't had logging activated.
without logging:
ExecStart=/opt/calibre/calibre-server /home/store/CB --enable-local-write --userdb /home/store/CB/.config/calibre/server-users.sqlite --enable-auth --url-prefix /calibre --port 8080 --listen-on 127.0.0.1 --auth-mode "digest"

with logging:
ExecStart=/opt/calibre/calibre-server /home/store/CB --enable-local-write --userdb /home/store/CB/.config/calibre/server-users.sqlite --enable-auth --url-prefix /calibre --port 8080 --listen-on 127.0.0.1 --access-log /var/log/calibre/access.log --auth-mode "digest"

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart calibre-server
Reloading the booklisting, the covers are showing up!
Then i disabled logging again, restarted calibre-server and the covers are showing up. Even with an other browser to exclude the browsercache, the covers are there.

I had to install xcb-util-cursor to get the calibre-client starting up. May this be the cause that the covers are shown now after restarting calibre-server?

Anyway,
