Does anybody else have a problem with Google's RSS or Atom feeds dying out on them using RSS2HTML?
I look up specific search items in Google news, click the link for RSS. Get the url. Do the conversion and put it on my page using an include template.
It works almost immediately, but within a few days - sometime just a few hours - the feed dies out and I get an error saying:
| Code: |
| Unable to open RSS Feed http://www.mysitename.com/outrsstemplate.inc with error Couldn't resolve host 'news.google.com', exiting |
I'm stumped. I love this free product, have built my entire site around it, and am thinking of buying in to get the cache module. But this error just drives me bonkers.

That isn't really a problem with rss2html.php, but it is says that your webserver can't find the IP address for the host news.google.com

Any idea how I can fix that? Short of buying Google and stabilizing its RSS feed myself.

The problem is not with Google. It is on your webserver and the DNS it is configured to use.

I'll ask this, because now I'm totally confused, what can I/my host do to fix this.

If this is running on a machine you control make sure that it is configured with 2 or 3 reliable DNS servers. If this is hosting you are paying for talk with their tech support.

What you have in your first message, about failure to find news.google.com

Is there anything specific they should look for when a DNS can't be resolved?

If they are a "true" and profesional ISP/Hosting company they will know what they are doing. If not I would suggest you change to one.

Tech guy got this error in his console when he tried to run the script:
root@vps103 [/home/davescom/public_html]# php rss2html.php
Unable to open template sample-template.html, exiting
That means I configured it wrong. But I am passing the template (an include) as part of the url call.

No, you are passing that information in on the URL. He is just trying it without all the parameters you call it with. BTW, are you running one of the current versions, 2.26 or newer?
