Article on how to set up TTRSS with Bluehost

Wow, that was fast! Thanks a lot, it works perfectly now!

Using the linked article I was able to get TTRSS working with Bluehost. It requires you to edit the update.php file. Before doing this I had to use the wget method of updating. Now I can use the second option from the update settings recommendation.

Editing update.php is unnecessary... The CLI version of PHP on bluehost works just fine:

Code: Select all

*/30 * * * * /ramdisk/php/53/bin/php5-cli /home/[user]/public_html/tt-rss/update.php --feeds --quiet

edit: added path to php 5.3 on ramdisk

Why use the ramdisk path instead of "/usr/php/53/usr/bin/php"?

I could not get the cron job to work previously. But changing "$options = getopt("", $longopt);" to "$options = array("feeds" => false);" enabled me to use the cron job again. The difference in the commands it looks like is you are using php-5cli instead of just using php to execute update.php. I'll have to try this so I do not have to keep updating update.php.

Thanks!

Bluehost changes to this path automatically, I assume for the speed of a ramdisk.

However, specific path does not matter. It is more important that you specify the CLI version of php 5.3

What is the current command for bluehost chron job? I'm trying to get updates running. Bluehost is using 5.4 now and there are a couple of variations on the command in this thread.
