Hi there,

I've ran into a problem configuring the rss import. I've defined several feeds and I can also import them manually.

After wondering why they don't import automatically, since I've set up the period, I did a little research within the forum and finally set up a cron job.

Unfortunetly it still don't works. I've set the feed frequency to 3 hours within the feed definition and set up a cron job which runs once in an hour. It looks like this:

30 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -0 - -q http://www.mywebsite.com/pligg/module.php?module=rss_import_do_import

Have I forgotten sth? Hope somebody can help me out of this.

Cheers,
Timmy

I followed this thread and my RSS import works (bothw ith 9.7 and 9.8)

Also I dont think your cron path is right... not sure you can use your url but have to use something like

/usr/bin/php /home/ACCOUNTNAME/public_html/WEBSITE/import.php

If you still have issues you might want to contact your hosting provider to find out the right way to define the cron job path

Thanks a lot! Haven't found that thread before. Followed the instructions and it works perfectly fine for me! :-)

I updated my crontab to the following:

lynx http://www.mysite.com/module.php?mod...port_do_import >/dev/null 2>&1

Cheers,
Timmy

I am assuming you still had to put "30 * * * *" before "lynx http://www.mysite.com/module.php?mod...port_do_import >/dev/null 2>&1" right??
