    Fresh installation of Debian 6, followed instructions as per INSTALL file of Booktype. Chose sqlite db.

Description

The summary says it all. I create a book, add some chapters, some text, go to publish pane.
Clicking on "publish" gives me
- a second or two of "Please wait. It will take couple of moments. Your book is being generated. "
- an error: Unknown error while trying to publish this book.

There are no errors in booki.log and no error messages from the django running server.

How can I find more info on the problem?

You probably have defined OBJAVI_URL = "http://objavi.booki.cc/objavi.cgi" in your settings.py. It means it will use this service for publishing books. Your Booktype installation must be registered on that site to be able to use it. If this is not the case, then i could give you some tips :)

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't touch settings.py much, so this must be the default.
If I disable the OBJAVI_URL in settings.py, will I be able to publish via different means?

It is unacceptable for my purpose to publish on an external website so I will likely need to set up my own instance of objavi service, if possible.

I find it strange that the need for objavi [account] is not mentioned in the booktype INSTALL file.

Cannot publish a PDF from http://booktype-demo.sourcefabric.org/algebra-an-algorithmic-treatment/_edit/. The message "Please wait. It will take couple of moments. Your book is being generated. " appears, and then nothing else happens.

Book created by Edward Mokurai Cherlin can be published and initial problem was because of Objavi configuration.
