stream errors on moving host

[discover]

Hi
I recently moved an install but I am getting errors on the rss feeds like:

Warning: fopen(/home/domain/public_html/cache/rss_b4c910d419f6eb239b9cb44adcfe5ca6.cache) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/advertis/public_html/lib/rss.class.php on line 78

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/domain/public_html/lib/rss.class.php on line 79

could anyone help me out with it?
thanks
Al

delete the RSS cache and make sure that the cache dir is writeable.

You can delete all files in /cache/ and then chmod the directory to 777

ok that removed the errors thanks but the feeds under top news story are showing html etc and arent formatted correctly
can I PM you the url for you to check?

[Bruceper]

If it really needs to be private, then yes, otherwise you can post the url here. No adult URL's are allowed on the forum.

I mentioned that you should chmod the /cache/ directory to 777, but if your server runs suPHP then it shouldn't be at 777. I neglected to mention this earlier. The only way you'll know if you run suPHP is to check yoururl.com/admin/phpinfo.php or to ask your host.

If you do run suPHP then chmod /cache/ back to 755.

The issue you're seeing is the RSS feeds fault, and there's nothing you can do about it.

#60;p>#60;a href=" is the same (in html code) as <p><a href=" but the rss feed doesn't parse HTML code, it only passes it along.

I would suggest changing the feed to a proper news feed that doesn't munge code such as AP or Google News.

[discover]

ok thanks
do I change the feed in admin or do I have to change a file?

[Bruceper]

Go to the template editor in admin and change whatever file you need to, probably index.html and/or footer.html

[discover]

ok I found the rss link in index
I am not sure which format to put in the though as I check the AP feeds:
News from The Associated Press
and took the url for the top news and its showing the feeds but giving me errors and when I click the news item it doesnt display:

Warning: fopen(/home/advertis/public_html/cache/rss_7c203e532b4f611c5c7886f3ba1c2179.cache) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/domain/public_html/lib/rss.class.php on line 78

Your /cache directory is not writeable. Thats why your seeing these errors. Bruce mentioned it earlier:

1 - If your webserver isn't running suPHP than the directory needs to be 777

2 - If your webserver IS running suPHP than the directory needs to be 755.

Some web hosting companies wont allow users to make a subfolder writable. You might also want to check with your host and ensure that isn't your problem as well.

But there is no doubt in my mind that your cache folder is currently not able to be written to!

I definitely set the cache folder to 777 but I just checked and it was at 755 again
I think my host must have changed it back so ill get in touch with them and see why
good news is the feeds are working now
thanks for your help

[FSGDAG]

Alot of host run nightly scripts to find directories with 777 and automtically change them to 755.

Just in case anyone was wondering... No! My company doesn't do that

[Bruceper]

Delete all of the files in the cache directory. The issue is probably file ownership.

The files in /cache/ should be owned by the script, not by the user. If you uploaded the site via FTP to the new host those files would be user owned.
