MPL-Publisher – ?? cURL error 28 when downloading PDF

Hi @subopo

PDF files are generated on MPL-Publisher servers so this explains why it’s different between EPUBs and PDFs.

I guess that your server is having some difficulties connecting to mpl-publisher.com (for instance, no internet connection or a firewall config) and this causes the timeout.

Does it make sense in your case?

Thank you ferranfg, for you quick response.

As a follow-up question, the PDF download was working perfectly until I added a number of additional chapters. I don’t think that any settings were changed in between the PDF download working and then not working. After adding about 50 new chapters, the download stopped working.

Is there a size cap on the number of chapters the publisher can handle?

Thanks!

Hi @subopo

Understood. There is no limit on the number of chapters per se, but more chapters will mean more time. So I have a few comments here:

• I’ve updated my server’s timeout to 120 seconds to see if this makes a difference.
•  Again, I don’t know if this may apply to you, but the timeout could be triggered by an external resource (like an image) that is not available anymore.
• ?This will take some time, but try to “refine” to find if the error is caused when a certain number of chapters is passed or when an *specific* post is included in the book (this can be related to the previous post). This will give us some hints.
•  If your chapters contain images, try to play with the different image settings available on the plugin’s “Design” tab (embed, load from original URL, etc)
