Can somebody explain how is working in ATutor "Syndicated Feeds" and how to use it. For example I want to show to user in side menu local weather forecast (I tried it but all the time error: "The feed either cannot be found at that URL or is not valid.")

Log in as admin -> Syndicated Feeds
add the link you wanted.
Then, log in as Instructor-> Manage-> Student Tools ->Side Menu
and pick out the feeds from the drop down

Example of feeds:
http://www.cbc.ca/rss/
2008-07-05 02:33:54
I login as admin and when I try insert RRS link, then error message: "The feed either cannot be found at that URL or is not valid."
2008-07-05 03:00:03
When I pushed CANCEL button in "Syndicated Feeds" then dispaued in new page error message: "The requested URL /ATutor/admin/rss_feeds/index_admin.php was not found on this server."
But I don't understood where is index_admin.php because I have upgrade from ATutor 1.6 -> 1.6.1 and I haven't nothing deleted from server. :(
Maybe missing index_admin.php don't let insert RSS feeds.
HELP

Our versions all seem to be working okay.
can you post the RSS URL here, so we can try it.
2008-07-05 10:35:26
I tried insert this RSS http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_world.rss - the same error message: "The feed either cannot be found at that URL or is not valid."

The CNN feed seems work fine. Is there anything you can tell us to help us reproduce the problem?
2008-07-07 05:08:49
Still error. Give me some advises, what I must to check.

There's not much we can do if we can't reproduce the problem. We need more detail.

Hi,
Can you check if you have any files under /content/feeds/? If not, can you check if the permission are set correctly for that folder?
Second, can you please verify with me that if there are any entries inside your AT_feeds table? (SELECT * FROM AT_feeds)
thanks

Hallo harris
Under /content/feeds/ is only one file index.html. Permissions are 755, when I try modify permissions to 777, after refreshing catalog the permissions are back 755.
Sorry, but I'm not programmer and I don't know how to check is any entries inside AT_feeds table. Where I must enter "SELECT * FROM AT_feeds".
2008-07-07 12:41:54
Hi,
755 is okay, who are the owners/groups for the feed folder though?
2008-07-07 13:14:46
sorry, I don't understood your question about "feed folders owners/groups"?
2008-07-07 13:18:27
Oh, the owners of the content/feeds should be apache/apache or nobody/nobody.
Otherwise apache wouldn't have permission to create/save the rss file(s).
2008-07-10 14:20:38
In AT_feeds table isn't entries. Harris what next?
2008-07-10 14:42:49
In Shell, for /content/feeds/
Is it
drwxr-xr-x x nobody nobody 4096 Jul x xx:xx feeds
or is it
drwxr-xr-x x root root 4096 Jul x xx:xx feeds
?
2008-07-10 14:54:20
It is drwxrwxrx 48 48
2008-07-10 15:05:49
Is that user (48) in the same group as apache/nobody?
Because the webserver (apache/nobody) will try to write/save in that folder and it will fail to do so if it doesn't have the permission to.
And if that fails, feeds cannot be saved and cannot be displayed.
