    Hi there, just got things set up on my godaddy server. Took awhile to get the multi-site thing working. Problem now is that it doesn’t seem to export…or at least will only export out the XML file options. I’ve updated to 3.7.1, but still have the same problem.

    I’m wondering if its some sort of restriction on the server. Can you recommend what to check?

    Hi @captainz3ro, on a shared hosting environment such as GoDaddy you will not be able to install most of the dependencies that are required for exporting the full range of file formats. See “Part 3, Pressbooks dependencies”, here. In order to export PDF, you will need to install either Prince or Pressbooks mPDF, and in order to export EPUB and MOBI you will need to install KindleGen, EpubCheck and xmllint. Many of these packages are not installable on a shared hosting environment.

    For this reason, most individual users would be better served by creating a book or books on Pressbooks.com rather than running their own network. If you do want to run your own network, you will need to use a VPS provider such as Digital Ocean that will give you the level of administrative access required to install all the necessary dependencies for export. I hope this clarifies.
