Five Filters

no difference?

Asked by p

Hello.
I bought self hosted version and spent a couple of ahours setting it up. Everything seem ok, the feeds are extracted fine. However when i try to read them in my client (feed2post for jomla) i get an fsockopen error that i don't get if i use the regular remote option hosted by five filter. The two feeds follow, i cannot see any difference apart from the added footer in fivefilters feed. So i don't know why fivefiles feed ir read OK and mine is not:

http://fivefilters.org/content-only/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http://www.columbia.co.cr/index.php%3Fformat%3Dfeed%26type%3Drss&max=3

http://2010.lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http://columbia.co.cr/index.php%3Fformat%3Dfeed%26type%3Drss&max=3

please also check http://2010.lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/ftr_compatibility_test.php everything look fine but the http redirect, is it possible that is because of that? how to configure this on ubuntu hardy? the error i am getting is:

Feed2post, Feed data from: http://2010.lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url="http://www.columbia.co.cr/index.php?format=feed&type=rss" fetching with fsockopen

Thank you!

Hi P, the error message from feed2post does not really give much information so I can't be sure what the problem is. One difference between fivefilters.org's hosted service and self-hosted ones is that we have caching enabled on fivefilters.org so feeds don't take as long to load after they've been loaded once. By default the self-hosted version has caching disabled so feed2post may be timing out waiting for the feed to load. I suggest you try reducing the max items to 1 (rather than 3) and see if you have the same problem.

Thanks Keyvan

I tried with just one item and got the error still. Its very weird because looking at the source code both feeds, fivefilters's and mine, they both look the same so I have no idea why feed2post does not line mine. I guess I'll ask them...

do you think is got anything to do with http redirect? its the only item in compatibility test failing.

Hi P, I actually think the problem might be with how the server is configured. I think the problem is that requesting URLs that point to your own server via PHP causes an error. Try this: http://2010.lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http://2010.lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/

Strangely, removing the '2010.' works: http://2010.lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=http://lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/

So I would suggest you give feed2post a URL without the '2010.' prefix, e.g.: http://lacarretica.com/full-text-rss/makefulltextfeed.php?url=www.columbia.co.cr%2Findex.php%3Fformat%3Dfeed%26type%3Drss&max=3 and see if that works.

Can you help with this problem?
