I have uploaded rss2html.php to my web site, www.drugcrimelawyer.com. When I run it through Grit Technologies' "Poodle Predictor" (which simulates what Google sees and can be reached at http://www.gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go ), I get the following error messages:

Warning: fopen(111): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/drugcri/public_html/rss2html.php on line 352
Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/drugcri/public_html/rss2html.php on line 354
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/drugcri/public_html/rss2html.php on line 357

By the way, the URL that I am running through the "Poodle Predictor" is: www.drugcrimelawyer.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.mapinc.org/xml/111&TEMPLATE=rss2html-sample-template-mapinc.html&MAXITEMS=50

Can anybody tell me why I'm getting these errors?!

Thanks!

I think the problem is because you are using a relative path for the template. Try using a full URL for the location of the template file.

www.drugcrimelawyer.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.mapinc.org/xml/111&TEMPLATE=http://www.mapinc.org/xml/rss2html-sample-template-mapinc.html&MAXITEMS=50

I just took a guess at the template's full URL. Please correct it if it is wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm still getting the errors. I just tried it using an absolute path for the template, which is shown here:

http://www.drugcrimelawyer.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.mapinc.org/xml/111&TEMPLATE=http://www.drugcrimelawyer.com/rss2html-sample-template-mapinc.html&MAXITEMS=50

Any other suggestions?

The '111' at the end of the XMLFILE variable. Is that the name of your feed's file, or is that the name of a folder?

If it is a file, try naming it 111.xml. If it is a folder, then include the name of the file in that folder.

I tried the poodle thing on one of our feed pages, and it seemed to work find.

I am getting the error messages below. I double checked the paths and extensions for all the files and they are ok. The files are installed properly and located on my server in the right places. Anyone got any ideas

Warning: fopen(): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dfindr/public_html/rss2html.php on line 339

Can you post the full URL you are using to call rss2html.php?

Thanks.

Why do I get these errors:

Warning: fopen(http://www.sotec.ch/test/test.htm): failed to open stream: Bad file descriptor in D:\Site\sotec\test\rss2html.php on line 339

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in D:\Site\sotec\test\rss2html.php on line 341

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in D:\Site\sotec\test\rss2html.php on line 344

my link:
http://www.sotec.ch/test/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.drweb.de/rss.xml&TEMPLATE=http://www.sotec.ch/test/test.htm&MAXITEMS=10

first lines of my rss2html-script which I modified, cuz I didn't work:
//
// rss2html.php RSS feed to HTML webpage script
// version 1.1
// Copyright 2004, 2005 NotePage, Inc.
// http://www.feedforall.com
// This script may be used freely for business or personal use
// This script may not be resold in any form
//

ini_set("allow_url_fopen", "1");

//
// If XLMfile is passed as part of the REQUEST_URI, then it will be used
// otherwise the the file below is used.
//$XMLfilename = "http://examlple.com/sample.xml";
$XMLfilename = "http://www.drweb.de/rss.xml";
if (isset($_REQUEST["XMLFILE"])) {
if (stristr($_REQUEST["XMLFILE"], "file://")) {
// Not allowed
;
}
elseif (stristr($_REQUEST["XMLFILE"], "://")) {
// URL files are allowed
$XMLfilename = $_REQUEST["XMLFILE"];
} else {
// It is local and must be in the same directory
$XMLfilename = basename($_REQUEST["XMLFILE"]);
}
}

//
// If TEMPLATE is passed as part of the REQUEST_URI, then it will be used
// otherwise the the file below is used.
$TEMPLATEfilename = "http://www.sotec.ch/test/test.htm";
if (isset($_REQUEST["TEMPLATE"])) {

The modifications did eliminate some of the error messages, but there are still a couple left :)

Any suggestions?

It must be something with your server's configuration for PHP. Your example URL works fine when I use the script on one of our servers. The only difference in the URL below is that the rss2html.php script is being run from our server:

http://www.rss2html.com/public/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.drweb.de/rss.xml&TEMPLATE=http://www.sotec.ch/test/test.htm&MAXITEMS=10

Small note: you need to add some '~'s after your FeedDescription variable in your template.

First of all, I want to thank you for testing it on your servers, cuz I had no other webspace to try it.
So, I contacted my hoster, which only told me that he saw no configuration problems, great! :(
I've uploaded the info.php here: http://www.sotec.ch/info.php

It would be really cool, if we could get this to work, because rss2html is really a great script.

Note that the page lies on Windows 2003 sever. Could this maybe be the problem?[/url]

I haven't been able to get any further with your problem. I would recommend you just run it from our server until you get it figured out:

http://www.rss2html.com/public/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.drweb.de/rss.xml&TEMPLATE=http://www.sotec.ch/test/test.htm&MAXITEMS=10

The server is there to be used for free, for exactly this type of situation.

Ok, thanks

I'm having similar problems om my server. I have full access to the server, so I can assist if anyone has the time to investigate further, and if it can solve my problem.

I'm now using the script on your server, but would really much like to have it up running locally. I don't see anything of interest in the apache error log, and have no idea what so ever on where and what to check any further myself - sorry, but if someone could guide me then maybe we could sort it out?

TIA

Can you post exactly what messages you are getting when you try to use the script locally?
