magpierss-0.7 install

[krawhitham]

For some season I can not get magpierss to work on my Root I server

all you need to do is copy the files over and it works

I can get it to work on my local box and my old hosting company

www.4quarters.net is the old host (magpierss allows me to have the sportsline news on they front page)

www.mvplanet.com is the Root I server

here is the URL for the program
http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/


any ideas

Works for me on this RootIII server

Slashdot RSS

http://www.1and1faq.com/pub/lastrss/slashdot.php

BBC News RSS

http://www.1and1faq.com/pub/lastrss/bbc.php

I just used wget to download the lastrss.zip, unzipped it, and then used their FreshFolder demo template and replaced the RSS url with Slashdot's and BBC's RSS feed url

Here's my slashdot.php

ODD

ok I used wget, unziped it, moved the file right folder all in shell

made a PHP using you source and uploaded it via ascii

here is the result

http://mvplanet.com/testthis.php

a blank page

I did the same thin on my old server and it worked like a charm

are using using Red Hat or Fedora Core 2 (Fedora Core 2 here)

I know with magpie it is suppose to output errors if it does not work, all I get with that is also a blank page.

I found a work around for the site using HTML and Iframe but I would really like to figure this out

I have not upgraded anything but mySQL, the server itsself upgraded Plesk to 7.5.2

I'm lost I spend 13 hours messing with it yesterday

check the access_log and error_log for any HTTP errors when you load the page.

permissions ? chmod 777 * on the test files and rss files
