Update daemon is not updating feeds

[mimox]

Since yesterday, I did not get any new feeds. There is some error box at the top of the screen "Update daemon is not updating feeds" and this is the whole error message:

---
Update daemon is taking too long to perform a feed update. This could indicate a problem like crash or a hang. Please check the daemon process or contact instance owner.

I have the same error. Is this the downtime in the sticky thread?

[fox]

Nope, that was just daemon being stuck. I have also merged the latest trunk and updating the schema seems to be taking a while, so hang on tight.

Looks like it works now.

Looks like it works now.

It used to... but now I have not gotten any new items for hours. No error message either but there's still something not right I think...

[Hypernova]

Exactly the same situation as mimox: It works this morning, then at some point stop working again.

Thanks for the info, fox.

Dunno, it looked like it was working. Well, I have restarted it, let's see how it goes.

same here, no myriad of mashable articles that normally pour in over the night

should've posted this earlier, updated are pooring in!

[fox]

Found one more feed which seems to hang the daemon for some reason: http://www.netzpolitik.org/feed/

[futtta]

the daemon seems to be hanging again?

[fox]

Looks like it works to me.

I'd like to note that "omg I had no stuff for the last hour" is probably not the best reason to start the alarms. There's a lot of users and only 2 update processes running, stuff can take a while.

[futtta]

weird, i do see the "Update daemon is not running" error message. i'll try reloading the entire page.

[fox]

Ah, right. Looks like this one cleanup script I have added yesterday happily erased daemon's lockfile, it was actually running though. Should be fixed now.
