Ravennuke version used: 2.30.02

a copy of my mainfile can be found Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

you might see some differences however i also tested with a clean mainfile.php and it keep acting the same.

What it does is the folowing , when ever i create a feed block and try to go to homepage (or to a section what has both block sides enabled) , it downloads a file either index.php or modules.php both files are empty.

i tryed several feed url's also one's from posts in the forum here what was told they work.

i really wonder how this happens

FYI: i just changed all back to original nukeseo files as they came with ravennuke distro and the issue still remains

That's strange - nukePIE is already integrated into RN 2.30.02, so I'm not sure why you would need to change anything.

That said, if you're getting a download file, it sounds like there is either an issue with your browser or an issue with your webserver / htaccess.

i'm right now testing on my local installation and there all seems to work well

i insert my edited files now 1 by 1 to see where the error comes from.
and posseble yes it even could be the htaccess i keep you informed

brb

i copyed all my edited files to my local test version and all works perfectly
but on live site it wont
i also deleted the .htaccess file in the root , no go.. no luck.. this is verry strange to me.

Since nukePIE is just showing a link, I don't see why it would be any different whether or not you're using a feed block or clicking on a modules link (or any other link, for that matter). Definitely sounds like a server / PHP settings issue.

what kind of server misconfiguration i need to think of

I have no idea, but your web host might.

do you now a simple quick script so i can see if rss is allowed?
RSS seems to get loaded verry well here:
http://www.soebiesplace.com/rss-scroller/rss-scroller.html

Assuming that's on the same server, I think you answered the question yourself. But the question isn't whether RSS is allowed, but rather why are the links not loading correctly. What happens when you click a link on the rss scroller?

i think i didnt explained correctly.

What happens is assoon as i create a rss block in admin and then try to go to my index or any other page it do this file downloading as explained before.
There isnt even a chance to see the rss block.
if disable block in admin and try to use the showblock.. it do the same

It might be worth checking your server mimetype for
application/rss+xml
and seeing if there are any differences between your local box and web server.
This shouldn't affect any manually bocks (through blocks admin area) though as it produces normal href links but incorrectly configured mimetypes on the server or specified in htaccess is probably the problem.

i did the checks you suggested and i cant find a difference for the mime type handling

i even intragrated the scrolling rss i showed you before .

http://www.soebiesplace.com/modules.php?name=RSS

if you want i can send you a pm or you can add me to your msn if have one.
so i can give you site access so you can see what it do ( to understand the problem)

I also made a total new installation to a new directory and the error reproduces itself on there.. so it must be a server mis-configuration.

I go contact the Helpdesk to see what they can do.

Thank you for your informations

I got the problem solved after almost non-stop searching for this problem.

i couldnt accept it wasnt working on my server.

For anyone who is getting the same problem , change the mainfile.php by just adding 1 line.

Find:

Code: function seoReadFeed ($url = '', $maxrss = 20, $refresh = 3600)

look down and find:

Code: $feed = new SimplePie();

below add:

Code: $feed->force_fsockopen(true);

so it look like:

Code: $feed = new SimplePie();     $feed->force_fsockopen(true);

Happy nuke pie 'ing

Thats interesting.
I presume that must be SimplePie function as force_fsockopen isn't a native PHP function.
I presume this must get arounf hosts where they have disabled fsockopen()
Thanks, I'm sure this will be useful!!

infact it is a configuration setting . i already stubled to this option ,however i changed setting in the .inc file , and there it wasnt working (wich after makes sence).

finaly i came accros a documentation from simplepie itself.
The setting: $feed->force_fsockopen(true);
go's around the curl lib.

I detected in my local curl wasnt installed (phpinfo) and there nukepie worked as told before in this post.

however i kept reading aloth abouth curl and that it is used all the time by simplepie , what gave me confusion abouth my local server.
i thought there was something added to my local server couse it is a newer version then the one on my live server.


So the conclusion is the folowwing.

If have curl installed and get this problem i had , you need to add the line as described.


and FYI simplepie has a new version v1.2 , any chance to update nukepie with it?
