Problem with Refeed Lite plugin

Vote 0 Votes

I'm trying to install the Refeed Lite plug on MT 4.3, and am encountering some problems and was hoping someone could help.

It doesn't seem to be pulling in feeds and I get this error message in the MT Activity Log every hour:
Error during task 'Check for updates to feeds (Refeed Lite)': Can't create history database support/refeed-lite-history.db: No such file or directory at /home/[mydirectory]/public_html/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/R efeed_Lite/refeed_lite.pl line 49.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Or is there another plugin that will pull in RSS feeds and create entries from new items automatically?

Thanks in advance for any help

  • All you have to do is to create a file called "refeed-lite-history.db" inside the /mt-static/support/ folder and then to chmod it to 777.

    • Thanks for the suggestion. I created a blank file called refeed-lite-history.db in that directory and set it to 777, but I still get the errors. I just created the blank file using an FTP program. Could that be the problem?

  • Well, you shouldn't ever have any file set to 777 for security reasons. 755 (or less) is fine, assuming the file is owned by the same user that owns the web & cron processes.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
