Running the Standalone content server is useful if you don't want to have the main calibre program running constantly. Click the "Add another program", browse to the location of calibre-server.exe and add it. Somewhere within the Vista/7 control panel or security center there is an option to "Allow a program through Windows Firewall". Now, either right-click the task and choose "Run" or reboot the PC to run the task.įinally, to ensure the content server can be accessed over the network, we need to add calibre-server to the list of exceptions in the Windows Firewall. You will be asked for your Windows User password - put this in to complete creating the task. Uncheck the checkbox that says "Stop the task if it runs longer than:".Ĭlick "Ok" to create the new task. If your PC is going to be on for several days at a time, select the "Settings" tab. Refer to the calibre-server help for information on these options. If you want to pass additional options to calibre-server (eg: username/password), put these in the "Add arguments (optional)" box.
This can usually be found in the following places:ģ2-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-server.exeĦ4-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe In the "Program/Script" box, insert the location of the calibre-server program. On the "Actions" tab, create a new Action. From the dropdown list at the top select "Startup", and click "Ok". On the "Triggers" tab, create a new trigger. Select the "Run whether user is logged in or not" radio button. Give the task a meaningful name and description. If using Calibre type "task" in the search > select "Task Scheduler" from list)Ĭhoose "Create Task" from the menu at right.Calibre 3 no longer supports running the content server and GUI simultaneously.I consider the contents of this thread obsolete for at least two reasons:
Since this thread has seen some interest lately, I though I should probably add an update.
