************************************************************************* |
1. Fatal error: Failed opening required '/path/to/script/rss_fetch.inc' |
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php/pear') |
|
This could mean that: |
|
a) PHP can't find the MagpieRSS files. |
b) PHP found them the MagpieRSS files, but can't read them. |
|
a. Telling PHP where to look for MagpieRSS file. |
|
This might mean your PHP program can't find the MagpieRSS libraries. |
Magpie relies on 4 include files, rss_fetch.inc, rss_parse.inc, |
rss_cache.inc, rss_util.inc, and for normal use you'll need all 4 (see the |
cookbook for exceptions). |
|
This can be fixed by making sure the MagpieRSS files are in your include |
path. |
|
If you can edit your include path (for example your on a shared host) then |
you need to replace: |
|
require_once('rss_fetch.inc'); |
|
-with- |
|
define('MAGPIE_DIR', '/path/to/magpierss/'); |
require_once(MAGPIE_DIR.'rss_fetch.inc'); |
|
b. PHP can't read the MagpieRSS files |
|
All PHP libraries need to be readable by your webserver. |
|
On Unix you can accomplish this with: |
|
chmod 755 rss_fetch.inc rss_parse.inc rss_cache.inc rss_util.inc |
|
************************************************************************* |
2. Cache couldn't make dir './cache'. |
|
MagpieRSS caches the results of fetched and parsed RSS to reduce the load on |
both your server, and the remote server providing the RSS. It does this by |
writing files to a cache directory. |
|
This error means the webserver doesn't have write access to the current |
directory. |
|
a. Make a webserver writeable cache directory |
|
Find the webserver's group. (on my system it is 'www') |
|
mkdir ./cache |
chgrp www directory_name |
chmod g+w directory_name |
|
(this is the best, and desired solution) |
|
b. Tell MagpieRSS to create the cache directory somewhere the webserver can |
write to. |
|
define('MAGPIE_CACHE_DIR', '/tmp/magpierss'); |
|
(this is not a great solution, and might have security considerations) |
|
c. Turn off cacheing. |
|
Magpie can work fine with cacheing, but it will be slower, and you might |
become a nuiance to the RSS provider, but it is an option. |
|
define('MAGPIE_CACHE_ON', 0); |
|
d. And lastly, do NOT |
|
chmod 777 ./cache |
|
Any of the above solutions are better then this. |
|
NOTE: If none of this works for you, let me know. I've got root, and a |
custom compiled Apache on almost any box I ever touch, so I can be a little |
out of touch with reality. But I won't know that if I don't feedback. |

3. Fatal error: Failed to load PHP's XML Extension. |

|
-or- |
|
Fatal error: Failed to create an instance of PHP's XML parser. |
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php |
|
Make sure your PHP was built with --with-xml |
|
This has been turned on by default for several versions of PHP, but it might |
be turned off in your build. |
|
See php.net for details on building and configuring PHP. |

4. Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch index.rdf. |
(HTTP Error: Invalid protocol "") |
|
You need to put http:// in front of your the URL to your RSS feed |
|
************************************************************************* |
5. Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. |
(not well-formed (invalid token) at line 19, column 98) |
|
There is a problem with the RSS feed you are trying to read. |
MagpieRSS is an XML parser, and therefore can't parse RSS feed with invalid |
characters. Some RSS parser are based on regular expressions, and can |
parse invalid RSS but they have their own problems. |
|
You could try contacting the author of the RSS feed, and pointing them to |
the online RSS validator at: |
|
http://feeds.archive.org/validator/ |
|

6. Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to fetch http://example.com/index.rdf |
(HTTP Response: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found) |
|
Its a 404! The RSS file ain't there. |
