Weird RSS Feed Issue
Posted by Fels, 06-03-2009, 01:15 PM I've got a vB site which has a RSS Poster Bot (fetches RSS Feeds then posts them). However, for some strange reason, it stopped working. Theres no errors in the error_log and when I do a manual run, it just times out after a minute or so. The only thing I can think of is that one of the RSS Feeds is down or one of the sites is blocking the server IP for some reason. Other thoughts?
Posted by eth1, 06-03-2009, 04:32 PM Try accessing the domain name of the site to see if it's online or not. Also what function are you using to fetch the RSS feed ? Make sure the server isn't blocking the connection to the remote site due to a firewall. telnet on the site on port 80 and check the response.
