RSS just will not update

[somus1735]

I have been trawling the forum all day for solutions for this issue but can't seem to get any closer to an auto-updating RSS feed. The setup to me looks correct, all the paths for php are fine, the log shows it runs the query but just no updating. I would appreciate any help as I just can't figure out where the problem is now. TIA

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 dedicated server ... user: adminstrator home folder /home/administrator/

I have also tried CHModing everything to 777 but it still will not update by itself ... now I need an expert

TIA

 

[dsouvik215]

have you tried verifying the problem with other rss feeds on different servers or is this localized to one particular feed?

 

[das329717]

No it is the same problem with the updating on all feeds I have tried and I have tried 4 now just to double check. I can load the files so there does not seem to be any issues with the feeds themselves just doesn't want to autoupdate every 3 mins. It is a little hard to see from rtorrent log what time the queries are executed. Maybe it would be an idea to have a timestamp on log entrioes so I could see how many time the command "sh -c '/usr/bin/php' '/var/www/rutorrent/plugins/rss/update.php' 'administrator' & exit 0" fires and at what intervals.

 

[jith45]

1) Is a manual rss updating working for you?
2) What about ruTorrent version?

 

[somus1735]

Yes Novik65, manual updates work fine and I am using the latest plugin via SVN that I updated on Sunday.

Running Revision 1624

TIA

 

[shwetha17]

Yes Novik65, manual updates work fine and I am using the latest plugin via SVN that I updated on Sunday.

Running Revision 1624

TIA

1) Try to update from svn. I add time markers for RSS updating to interface.
2) Check permissions of rutorrent/share/users/administrator/settings/rss directory. rtorrent user must have permission to read and write to it
