So, I received a few emails (thanks guys!) about difficulty installing jComix. Thats not a problem anymore; I have just created an Installer.app repository with jComix in it. Incidentally, if anyone is trying to create zip files for distribution through Installer.app, WinRAR zips do not work (that one cost me a few hours of tinkering).
To get jComix running:
- Open up Installer.app
- Hit the Sources tab in the bar along the bottom
- Click the Edit button in the top right
- Click Add in the top left
- You should now be presented with a window to enter an address into. In the space, type this address:
http://www.penjuinlabs.com/ipod
- Hit OK and wait for the sources to refresh (if they don’t, click Refresh in the top left)
- Jump back to the Install tab
- Enter the Development category and install Python
- Return to the main Install area but now enter the Multimedia Category and install jComix
- (this step is optional, but I highly recommend it) Return to the main Install area, and finally enter the Utilities category and install UIctl
- Use your favourite SCP program (I use WinSCP) to copy CBR files into /var/root/Media/CBR
- Return to Springboard and hit Safari
- Type the following into the address bar:
http://localhost:8080/
If you are met with a short (<30sec) wait, then all is well; the comic needs time to extract. You are done!
A few things I’d like to mention:
I have tested this package on my iPod and it worked Ok. If anyone else tries this package (especially an iPhone user), please drop me a comment letting me know if it works.
There are some bugs that I (don’t think) I can do anything about. Extracting comics is rather slow. I’m putting that one down to the CPU. Likewise, zooming in on images may result in a smidgen of lag. I’m thinking this has something to do with the CPU as well.
Finally, I would like to thank Adam, for keeping me motivated and doing testing.
Same deal with problems or comments. Let me know here or drop me an email at jeremy DAHT 006 AHT gmail DAHT com.
Thanks for making an installer. Too bad it crashes with a “Main script execution failed!” error. I’m gonna go ahead and try to install this the manual way. Hope you get things working with the installer.app soon. Thanks for the cool program!
Another “bug”: the rar file, at most, can only have one subdirectory in it. A potential fix is to not extract the files with their directories by using the -ep flag for unrar.
One possible solution to the slow extracting, though this will likely open up a whole host of other kind of bugs, is to run the unrar command in the background by adding ‘&’ to the end of it. And then do a time.sleep(1) so that there will be some images for the script to enumerate through.
I’ve tried it and it works fairly well; some (possible) bugs:
1) listdir returns files in alphabetical order, or so it seems. unrar doesn’t necessarily extract files in alphabetical order. A minor bug, imo.
2) I can imagine something bad happening if clearDir is called when unrar is still extracting files to temp/.
Hi awesome app! So far .rar files with jpegs works great, but i have a rar file with .png files and it doesn’t want to show up in safari.
Thanks for the bug reports guys, I’m looking into them now.
Ok, update time.
I fixed q’s first bug with a simple while loop. The second was a bit more complex though. Basically, I left a marker file while the comic is extracting which clearDir checks for. If it finds one, it simply waits until it disappears and continues on. You should notice a faster extraction process from now on.
As for unrar not extracting in alphabetical order, that is a real pain. I can’t think of how to fix that one other then just digging through the source.
I can definitely see the png bug, however it seems that Safari has a problem with certain files. I tested a multitude of them; some worked and some didn’t. I will try to look into this again at a later date.
You can get the new update through Installer.app (it works for me, has anyone else got it going?) or grab it from http://www.penjuinlabs.com/ipod/zips/jcomix.zip and install it manually.
Dude, you rock! I had some issues trying to install again after I restored it (I screwed around tweaking it too much w/ various things and foobar’d it), and then I couldn’t get the package. Guess this was around the time you were modding it, because things worked like a champ after you were done. I think it looks really cool, though the “previous” and “next” links are really close to the book selection tool. I wish we didn’t need to have wifi on, but it works fine for me. Thanks for putting in the effort and making a great tool! Now I’m off to brag about it on my eBook forum, so you’ll probably start to get quite a few hits for those with iPod Touchs.
Azayzel, you don’t need to have wifi on
. If you know any CSS, you can change the look of the reader interface (the file is /var/root/jcomix/site/style.css). Right now I’m working on cbz/zip, it seems to be working but its popping up with the odd error or two.
You didn’t have to thank me. Your the one who did all of the work. Your a Saint.
Anyways, did you receive the two emails I sent you about some bugs?
from you last post it looks like you are working on getting .cbz and .zip to work. That’s GREAT!
Have you looked into the # in the filename problem yet? Right now it’s a real pain extracting the cbr and removing the # in every image. Thanks again!!!
Hey Adam. I received a few emails about bugs, but none of them were from you. Do you want to try sending them again? Sorry about the hash bug, I thought I had already fixed that. I have just updated jComix with a fix; you can get it from Installer.app now.
I’ll be away on holiday (yay!) for the next week, after which I will probably release a version with cbz support. It’s 90% working; there is just one major bug I cannot seem to squash.
Peace out
I did not update since I initially got it started. I just updated it and you did get the # fixed. Thank you.
Enjoy your vacation!!! You deserve it!
Things look great, guess I’m still learning the quirks of the Touch. Anyway, some observations…
For some reason I cannot zoom in on the images to maximize on my screen size. It may be the file type or something, but I can’t check till I’m back home.
Secondly, when I browse, using Finder,and try to jump into the jcomics/temp folder, my system totally goes into vapor-lock, refuses to do anything and eventually shuts itself down. Any ideas here?
Finally, does this load some Apache build foelr serving the pages? I followed the guide for off-line PDF viewing and for some reason I get a 400 error when trflying to use the PHP scripts provides. I had to install/configure Apache and PHP per the guide but it keeps throwing the 400 error. jComics still works, but no local Apache stuff.
hi! thx for the app. i followed all the steps. first of all i dont know what UIctl is for. and second i go to safari and browse the localhos:8080 and it says that safari can’t open. nevertheless you say there was no need for internet connection. i put a cbr and jpegs files in the CBR directory. so how can i read it. help me please.
thx!
Installer worked great for me.
JComix worked for me after I first installed it, but now it won’t respond. “Safari can’t open the page because it can’t find the server.” error for http://localhost:8080/. But it really did work for me before so I dunno what happened.
I got it working. No bug to see here…
Awesome app!!!
Here’s a suggestion with the localhost:8080 issue, for some reason mine has this same problem too. However, you can use the localhost IP address with no problem; i.e, 127.0.0.1:8080
This makes me think it’s some internal DNS issue, but I haven’t had the time to check around a bit more to find out where or why.
Thanx Azayzel..changing ti from localhost o 127.0.0.1 works – groovy..between this and iComic (which reads zip) this is sweet – these two projects should join forces and create aCDisplay
Works great on my touch. Thanks!
I can’t seem to get this to work on my iphone. I tried localhost:8080 and 127.0.0.1:8080 but I can’t get a comic to load. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.
I’m really excited about this program–
BUT I also can’t get it to work. i keep getting the error message:
“Safari can’t open the page because it can’t find the server.”
And i’ve tried the original address mentioned, and then the numbers for the local host…. I’d really appreciate any help/suggestions.
Happygolucky and raindew01:
Open up UICtl and find org.penjuinlabs.jcomix. Make sure that the text is black and not red. If it is red, click on it and then start it. After it is completed, jump back in your browser and try again. If that doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll try to think of something else
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks so much for your response!
I didn’t have Ulctl installed this time around because it says in the instructions that it’s optional. So i just installed it now–will that make a difference?
any way–i went into it, found the url you said–and it’s black, not red. I tried it again, and i still get an error (the same for a few hours, now).
It says along the top:
“500 Internal Server Error
the server encountered an unexpected error which prevented it from fulfilling the request.”
then, underneath in read, there’s a bunch of writing:
_________
“Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/lib/python2.5/cherrypy/_cprequest.py”, line 551 in respond cherrypy.response.body = self.handler()
__________
and a bunch of other stuff. i wasn’t sure if i should write it all out here or not. i don’t know what it means.
Thanks again for responding; i would love to be able to use this program! I *love* the sound of it!
Would you mind posting all of that error code? It may help me work out what is wrong.
jeremy /adam
thanks guys its a wicked application. I am a novice and following your instructions managed to get it working on my iphone (1.1.1), used cyberduck and mac to allow all permissions. can now read my favorite archies before i buy them. Is there any way of fixing the safari zoom feature so i can read the text better ?
thoughts greatly appreciated.
thanks again m
Unfortunately, Safari does put limits on zooming. I am yet to work out a way around them. When Jiggy is a bit more developed (read: bug free), I will attempt to make a UIKit version with more flexible zooming.
Hi Jeremy,

raindew01, I think I have worked out your problem. For some reason (I am not sure why) a comic was never extracted to the folder to be read into the server. I’m assuming you know how to run commands in a shell with puTTY, etc.
Run this command:
rm -rf /var/root/jcomix/site/temp ; mkdir /var/root/jcomix/site/temp
Then head back to http://127.0.0.1:8080 or http://localhost:8080/ and see if it works. Also, make sure that you have CBR files in /var/root/Media/CBR and that you are not using the unstable version.
Let me know if this works.
I’m glad you worked out my problem. But–er–i don’t know how to run commands in a shell with Putty. i don’t even know what that means. Would it be possible to tell me step-by-step?
Right now I’ve been using Total Commander with t-pot to transfer things over into my iPod into the right folders, and MobileFinder on my iPod to change permissions…. those are the only programs I’ve gotten to work to do that kind of stuff….
I can’t get this to work for the life of me, and I know there’s something that I’m missing here, so I’ll just let you know how I’ve got things set up. I’m using a 1.1.3 jailbroken ipod Touch, I’ve got BSD Subsystem, Installer, OpenSSH, Summerboard, Ulctl, Ruby and jcomix (stable) all installed through installer. I’ve copied a CBR to the appropriate folder, and when I run safari, nothing happens… I saw in an older post some mention of needing the rar command line tool, but newer posts seemed to say that installing through installer was all I needed to do. My apologies for not understanding, but I really appreciate the help! Thanks!
Hi Ryan,
I haven’t yet tested this on 1.1.3. That said, I have heard nothing that would mean it shouldn’t work. First to clarify a few things:
- When you say nothing, do you mean a white page, an error or something else?
- Do you have Python installed? (it is essential)
- Do you only have one CBR in the folder? If so, try putting a few more in there.
- Under UIctl, does org.penjuinlabs.jcomix show up as black or red?
As for needing unrar, you don’t need to worry about that; I have included that in the installer package. And don’t worry about not understanding, we all have to start somewhere!
Let me know the answers to these questions, and I’ll see what I can do.
It’s a very nice thing you are doing for the ipod and iphone people but you would have a lot of very happy people if you were to work on a PSP comic viewer like CDisplay for pc…Peace.
I have 1.1.3 itouch (16gb) Phyton, Utcl and the last stable version of jcomix
Hi, why i cant see some pages of my comic offline?
i just can read the first 3 pages.. the sames who i see it online (i think who this is becose this pages is save it at the cache.
I see this error

Thank you! It really works! But do you know if it is possible to make a symbolic link to the Python Library? It eats a lot of space!
Hey all,
Jose,
You can do that, however I felt doing that in an installer package was a bit too invasive. If you would like to do it:
mv /usr/lib/python2.5 /var/root/.python2.5
ln -s /var/root/.python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.5
Make sure jComix is not running while you run these or you may get some weird errors.
FDDT,
Does that error occur with all comics, or just one? It usually crops up when you are attempting to extract from an archive that is broken/corrupt/non-standard. Try with a few other comics and let me know how it goes.
Thank you for your answer. I did, but it didn’t work. I undid and I got the things back. Any ideas? Thank you again. By the way I have the same problem of FDDT. If I try to open a large file, after some pages, I got the same message.
How odd. I just tried those commands twice and they worked fine :S. Perhaps these will work:
mv /usr/lib/python2.5 /var/root/python2.5
ln -s /var/root/python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.5
As for the bug, can you give me the name of the comic you are using that causes the error? Also, if you run the following commands:
ls /var/root/jcomix/site/temp
ls /var/root/jcomix/site/temp/*/
one of them should give you a list of all the files extracted on your ipod. Open the cbr in winrar or equivalent and see if all of the files are the same as the ones listed on your ipod. If they aren’t, my money is on broken archives. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you again. I’m getting a cross link, so I can’t move the library. If I did move it using the WinSCP, I got the error. I’ve tried a lot of things, but no use. As regarding the 500 Internal error, it was enough to reload the Safari. I’m reading now the Sanctuary Series, using the unstable and it is working pretty well. As I have a lot of space in the / area – I did a lot of symbolic links – the size of the python library it is not a real problem. Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate.
Hey,
This tool is amazing! I was curious if there is another app or if there is an easy way to dump my cbr’s on my own webserver and just view them threw safari. That is so that the cbr’s aren’t taking up precious space on my iphone.
Thank you.
Michael,
The old version of jComix could be run from a PC. You can check it out here: http://www.penjuinlabs.com/blog/?page_id=10 . However, it is now unsupported; most people just wanted native anyway (myself included).
I cannot install Python from your repo, no matter how many times I try
this is so frustrating, if there’s on app I’d use non-stop, os jComix.
Please help!
I just did a fresh install of jComix on my 1.1.4 update and I found out that if you attempt to install a package and do not have enough space, Installer.app will crash. Python will easily trigger this bug as the package is, afaik, the largest one in all of the repositories.
If this is the problem you are having, running the following commands in terminal(look for it in Installer.app) should fix it. Be very very careful you type the first one correctly.
rm -fr /usr/lib/python2.5
ln -s /var/root/python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.5
Then try to install python again. If that doesn’t work, could you please give me a bit more detail? (what version software you are running, exact error, etc)
Thanks for the reply, jeremy. Would you mind elaborating a bit about the terminal? I just bought my touch a week ago and I’m not entirely familiar with the apps.
btw. Kid = Me ;D
It seems that Term-vt100 is currently broken in Installer.app, so we’ll have to do this the long way.
Get into Installer.app and under System you should find a package named OpenSSH. Install it. (if you don’t have BSD subsystem you will need that too). After they are installed, go into Settings->Wi-Fi, and hit the arrow next to your currently connected network. Under IP Address you should find a number that looks something like this:
123.123.123.123
Write this number down, you’ll need it in a minute. Also, turn off Auto-Lock in Settings->General->Auto-Lock. I’m not sure what OS you are running, so I’ll fork here.
Windows:
Download puTTY (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe) and open it up. In the “Host Name (or IP address)” box, enter the number you wrote down before (you did write it down didn’t you:P). You might have to wait a little bit (less than a minute), but it will show up with a box with something along the lines of “potential security breach”. Thats Ok, just click yes; it should only happen the first time you connect. When it asks for the username, enter “root” and password “alpine” (without the quotes ofcourse). Then, paste the commands I gave earlier.
Mac:
Click on Spotlight; search for and open Terminal. You need to enter the following command:
ssh root@
Make sure you don’t include the <>, they are just there for show. So if I were connecting to my iPod, I would type:
ssh root@192.168.1.103
You should get a message about keys not matching. Thats Ok, just type “yes” and hit enter. Then when it asks for a password, type “alpine” (without quotes). Then you can paste the commands that I gave you earlier.
I hope these instructions are easy enough to follow (I think I remembered everything). If you have any more difficulty, let me know what operating system you are using and any obvious problems you can see.
Thanks again, jeremy. I’ll try that when I get home.
But, i was a little worried when you said I need to be REALLY careful about spelling it wrong. Now I’m curious, what could happen if I spelled it wrong?
Hah, if you spell that command wrong, you will be in trouble.
The “rm” command means remove. Adding the “-r” means that it will recursively delete folders; it will delete everything in the folder. Adding the “f” to the flags means force, so it will delete anything and everything without asking. This is the kind of thing you want to avoid:
DON’T TYPE THIS IN
DON’T TYPE THIS IN rm -rf / DON’T TYPE THIS IN
DON’T TYPE THIS IN
That command would recursively (and forcefully) delete everything in the filesystem. I don’t think the iPod would be too happy about that:P. Generally speaking, spelling mistakes are not that big of a deal (you can’t remove something that isn’t there) but I just wanted to make sure that you knew it was potentially dangerous to your iPod. You can read more about it on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_%28Unix%29
I thought I should add: you need to run that command to clear out any half installed files, or the second command would not work.
I appreciate the heads up, jeremy. I’ll try this today. Like I said, if there’s ONE app I’d wanna have on my touch, is jComix
That, and a remake of Command and Conquer. Come on, EA just jumped on the iphone/ipod touch bandwagon, and they hold the rights to the C&C franchise. A man can dream
Python crashes for me when I try to install it. I’ve tried every fix here, any other ideas?
Really hoping to get this app up and running!
well, now I’ve got Python installed. BUT! jcomix crashes halfway through the install, just spits me back out to the main ipod screen any ideas?
Chad,
A lot of people have been having issues with Installer.app crashing. As far as I can tell, they all come from not having enough free space on the application partition. Try uninstalling a few apps and see if it works.
Let me know how it goes.
Hey there,
I’m getting “Package download failed” when I go to install Python.
Any ideas as to why?
–*Rob
Anyone around to answer my question?
I think rom what I have been reading, I need to refresh my sources but I am clueless as to what to do for that. I’m a relative newb to all this, but love comics and want to read them on my iPod Touch.
Help? Please? Jeremy are you there?
–*Rob
Hey Rob,
I would like to help, but unfortunately the python install package is not located on my server. The problem could be that you do not have enough disk space to download the zip file to a temporary directory. Perhaps you could try removing some applications before attempting the install again.
I’m sorry I could not be of further help.
I tried a few times to no avail. This is a new iPod Touch, just jailbroken with no other apps on it yet. Yours was the first app I wanted! Tried clearing the queue, refreshing sources but I think the source has moved and I have not been able to find a place to get it. Never did get it to work, so I had to go and install iComic instead.
Just a heads up to all – Python seems to be unavailable right now. If you find a good source, let us know.
–*Rob
Hi All,
Just wanted to thank everyone. Everything installed great, and I had no problems after switching to the 127 address. I had been uber excited about a cbr reader for my ipod touch. I can now enjoy my comics in peace and cary my collection in my pocket. Thanks again all.
mikey-
Hi,
I’ve followed through all the instructions here, but I can’t get the app to start in ulctl – it remains red whatever I do. I have python installed on a 1.4 iPod. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alex
Alex,
Do you know how to SSH into your iPod? There are a few things that we can test to isolate the problem.
Let me know.
Hi Jeremey,
I’m reasonably savvy, what should I try?
Thanks
Alex
Alex,
First things first; run this command in SSH:
/usr/bin/python /opt/jcomix/jComix.py
I daresay the error will rear its ugly head here. Paste the output in a comment here and I’ll see what I can do.
As I have the same problem, here’s my output of jComix.py:

Hi everyone!
I am an avid comic reader, but a complete nooob. I just got my iphone which was unlocked. The firmware is 1.1.4. I dont have a wifi connection so wanted to ask how I could install jcomix manually?
Thanks!
naddy,
Unfortunately, you *need* a wifi connection to install it. Well, perhaps you could do it with Putfile in iPHUC but that would be quite complex and I would not be able to help you with that. Is there a public hotspot you can go to to install it?
qim,
That looks like your python install is broken. I’m looking into it. Perhaps the package has been changed.
I got two words for you ‘freakin awesome’!
I’m so excited that you developed this app. Now my ipod needs are complete. Thanks alot
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for a great app. I have a 1.1.1 8Gb, I followed carefully install of Python, JComix, UIctl. Copied 10 CBR files. I get the 500 SIE error. Installed OPENSSH, BSD, Putty, and ran the putty command line. Still the 500 error.
In UIctl the penjuin entry is black, I tried stopping and re-starting. Same.
I cannot get away from the 500 error.
I am dying to get this app working.
Please any tips?
savvy,
Try renaming your alphabetically last archive to “a.cbr” and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn’t, we’ll go from there in fixing the problem.
Hi Jeremy,
Tried renaming to a.cbr
No change. Same error.
Jeremy,
I renamed the lengthy names of all files, found I think a corrupt file, and it solved it. Working. Thanks for the help and the great app!
1. For some reason I cant get the file. The repository is not showing as having any files
2. will this work on 2.0?
Just got this working on my 1.1.4 iPhone.. Thanks!! As far as I know this ois the only comic reader for the iPhone that can read CBR files. I would be interested in the version that would allow me to access all the files on my PC.. saw a note about an old version and will try that now. Thanks! btw – it’s version 1.1.4 with some hack to make it say its 1.1.3
Any chance of bringing this along to the 2.0 software using AppStore? I’ve gone back to an unhacked phone for simplicity reasons and would love to see a cbr reader set up for the routine installs via the AppStore
RMiller,
I would like to put it in app store, but there are several snags on the EULA:
1. Interpreted languages are absolutely not allowed (Python is an interpreted language)
2. Even if I rewrote it in obj-c, loading external files like CBRs is against the EULA because a) it specifically says you cannot and b) there is no ssh on an unjailbreaked phone, so there is no way of copying CBRs over
3. I do not have ready access to a mac, and the dev kit is mac only
So unless these all get fixed overnight (one can hope!), I do not foresee a CBR reader in the app store.
hi jeremy congratulations for your program i got it working but apparently i can just see the first of much comics i have in my folder, and i havent seen a symilar cuestion on here.
so the arrow in the bottom of the image to select wich comic you want to see, doesnt seem to work for me, it does appear selected when i touch it but doesnt change the comic even refreshing the page.
also in the address bar where says localhost:8080/?id=0&page=1, i tried changing to
localhost:8080/?id=1&page=1 and it does change the name of the comic in the top but it doesnt actually change the comic when refreshing it stays the same
Hugo,
I suggest that you try uninstalling and reinstalling jComix. It looks like there is something weird going on when the comic is being extracted.
i already done it I’ve tried the unstable edition and the normal and making the folder again and uploading the files multiple times but Still works the SAMe way.
by the way my itouch is firmware 1.1.4
Still having troubles connecting to (127.0.0.1) my iPod’s IP the port 8080. I can get locahost:80 up to the Apache server, but it doesn’t help much. Safari won’t seem to load it, and I have already successfully transfered the CBRs into MEDA/CBR via Cyberduck. Is it possible i have some programs on here blocking it? please advise
Hi,
I am trying to install the app with no avail on a jailbroken 2.1 ipod.
I had to install Python under Cydia, as it is not available in Installer. Then I get “Error – Unable to decode package more info at http://www.penjuinlabs.com/blog/?p=20”
Any ideas?
Cheers.
zart,
I have not tried jComix on >2.0. Even if you have installer, it is not as simple as just installing the packages because the location of the python libraries has changed (I think). Also, it looks like the installer package format has changed so the old package will not work with the new installer. That error looks like Installer is telling you that it does not understand the old package format. By all means try it, but I cannot help you if it doesn’t work.
