Strange and complex problem with RSS plugin !

[shwetha17]

I have a very strange problem with the RSS plugin.
When I add a this particular feed 'http://ncore.cc/rss/rssdd.xml' it says "Error loading feed. (http://ncore.cc/rss/rssdd.xml)". (This is not strange so far at all, keep reading.)

The problem is occur only with this feed, I was able to add several feeds, download torrents automatically and manually from them.
Now comes the weird part: when I add this feed, and rutorrent says cant read it, after that, I am unable to reach that webserver at all from that machine which rutorrent is running on!!

So:
1.) I log in to the site from machine called CAPALI (which has configured rutorrent w/ apache2, php, etc.) browsing the site
2.) then I add the site's feed from my iMac and BAMM, I cannot reach the site (http://ncore.cc) from CAPALI anymore, neither with a browser nor triing with "telnet ncore.cc 80" - no connection. However it answers to ping requests.
3.) I have to restart networking on CAPALI if I want to reach it again.
(CAPALI is running latest Ubuntu server.)
4.) However the iMAc can connect no problem.

I tried everything; different versions of rutorrent; 3.1, with the right plugins and now with latest svn, still the same problem.
Recompiled rtorrent and libtorrent from scratch with latest xmlrpc-c libraries. Tried installed from packages same problem too.

versions:

rtorrent 0.8.6, libtorrent 0.12.6 (compiled from latest sources with latest xmlrp-c)
php-5.2.2 (Zend server CE)

I configured everything properly, web user can read/write rutorrent directory, I can add torrents from filesystem, I can move data around the hard rives, so other plugins working fine, and as I told other feeds working fine, filters working as expected, etc. (So sad it would be my most important feed.)
I use cookies with the Cookies plugin with another feed, working fine.

However the problem is only occur in Mac os X 10.6, but every browser. If I restart it to BOOTCAMP with win7 it works... can read that feed too ! (I hardly use windows, so its not a solution)

I'm behind a dd-wrt modded router, the two computers (iMac and CAPALI) connect the internet through that, but only CAPALI has this connection issue, the iMAc never.

I checked apache2 error and acces logs, but I found nothing strange.
I cant find the rutorrent error.log in /tmp/ as linked in rutorrent conf.php. How can I enable it ?

Any recommendation where should I search next?

if you are running the "latest ubuntu server" why do you have such an old version of php?

I searched the forum for hours, nobody had close the same problem as me; they have no feeds working at all, or configured rutorrent improperly, had permission issues, missed curl or something, etc...

because I use the Zend Server CE from packages. The latest comes with that. (maybe today updated)

EDIT: it was a typo, my version is 5.3.2

i've never heard of this problem. It's hard to even guess what is wrong.



I'm also not sure i entirely understand what is happening.


are you saying that the machine running rtorrent/rutorrent becomes inaccessable via webbrowser or SSH but still replies to ping? only after trying to load this feed?

That's my problem tooo !

I wasnt clear. So, after I try to load the feed on my iMac, THAT site becomes inaccessible FROM capali ! (everything else is fine.) so i can't browse that ncore.cc anymore, but any other connectivity is ok. Strange.
Maybe it's something with the router because when I put capali in DMZ nothing is wrong, but it makes my whole system a huge security leak because that machine has a loooot ot services open direct to the internet...
