Update stopped [shared hosting]

[just-a-human]

Hi there,

I searched for similar posts (mentioned after this post) and tried solutions present there but did not succeed.

TTRSS update function stopped working.

Tried changing permissions of the .lock file , deleting the .lock file but this solved nothing.

My TTRSS instance is on shared linux host (LAMP based).

Here are the outputs of some parts :

A. TTRSS System log screen shows nothing.

B. Cron output via email message :

Code: Select all

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.33
Content-type: text/html

[14:00:05/754289] Lock: update_daemon.lock
error: Can't create lockfile (update_daemon.lock). Maybe another update process is already running.


How can I solve this problem so TTRSS goes back to normal operation and resumes auto update ?

Hi there,

You need to check the permissions on the folder, not the file itself.

Folder "lock" has the full permission 777 !.
Given that a tempered with the system and deleted all files in lock folder, now in the system log screen I get the warning :

Code: Select all

E_WARNING (2)   include/functions2.php:227   file_get_contents(lock/update_daemon.stamp): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

How can I restore back ttrss into normal operation ?

Lol, good job. Just pull from git if you've got that setup.

do you have shell access? what happens if you run update.php manually?

Code: Select all

cd /dir/someplace/tt-rss
php ./update.php


also do

Code: Select all

ls -ld lock

another problem is that you're using php cgi interpreter to run cron jobs but that is to be expected in a shitty shared hosting environment

e: how does your cron entry look like?

No.

Cron job for the update runs once per hour :

Code: Select all

0   *   *   *   *   php /public_html/reader/update.php --daemon

You're launching the daemon every hour; that's not going to work well. If you're using cron you should run it with "--feeds --quiet" instead. Read more on the wiki page:

Thanks for Zorchenhimer , JustAMacUser and fox for your help to figuring and solving this issue , which is persisting till now.

I changed daemon launch to be each 30 minutes. And I added the two switches : --feeds and --quiet . The cron job still returns the follwoing output by email :

Code: Select all

error: Can't create lockfile (update_daemon.lock). Maybe another update process is already running.

[JustAMacUser]

Did you remove "--daemon" option?

[just-a-human]

I did now. Waiting for the next update in <30 minutes..

Now it tells the following :

Code: Select all

Status: 500 Internal Server Error
