Apart from just Yahoo groups, can you use myspace groups? Any other ideas what other ones you can use?

I am having trouble with scheduling this to run in a standard cron job.

Cron job:

Code:

/usr/local/php5/bin/php /home/myuser/mysite.com/forum/gateway.php

I believe init.php is designed to use a relative path on line 42 and if that fails it grabs the full path from config.php, as shown here:

Code:

// #############################################################################

// fetch the core includes

require_once(CWD . '/includes/class_core.php');



// initialize the data registry

$vbulletin =& new vB_Registry();



// parse the configuration ini file

$vbulletin->fetch_config();



if (CWD == '.')

{

    // getcwd() failed and so we need to be told the full forum path in config.php

    if (!empty($vbulletin->config['Misc']['forumpath']))

    {

        define('DIR', $vbulletin->config['Misc']['forumpath']);

    }

    else

    {

        trigger_error('<strong>Configuration</strong>: You must insert a value for <strong>forumpath</strong> in config.php', E_USER_ERROR);

    }

}

else

{

    define('DIR', CWD);

}



if (!empty($vbulletin->config['Misc']['datastorepath']))

{

        define('DATASTORE', $vbulletin->config['Misc']['datastorepath']);

}

else

{

        define('DATASTORE', DIR . '/includes/datastore');

}



if (!$vbulletin->debug)

{

    set_error_handler('vb_error_handler');

}

Unfortunately, even when I specify the full path in config.php the cron job fails. And when I enter the full path in line 42 of init.php, my whole site breaks. I've highlighted the bad path here.

Error:

Code:

Warning: require_once(/home/.saint/user/includes/class_core.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.saint/user/mysite.com/forum/includes/init.php on line 42



Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/.saint/user/includes/class_core.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/.saint/user/mysite.com/forum/includes/init.php on line 42

Anyone have ideas?

Large posts that makes the script time out maybe? I had a similar problem myself on some groups before, and that was unfortunately never solved for me..

yes, but in fact it's impossible to make the script workin ... i always have this error !! this is on the line : $response = trim(fgets($this->fp, 128));

when i check on outlook express, the server work perfectly without any probleme ! you can try : nzn.fr.delphi (server server.amis.tv)

I think I had the same problem with execution time when I first used this mod. However it was only a problem initially because I was downloading everything. I just had to keep running it automatically until it had everything downloaded. Now it runs frequently enough that it is able to download all the messages without any trouble.

But now i have a BIG problem! it's sometime crash php-cgi.exe (with big windows error popup) !!!

I am having similar issues, the mod put too much load on the server, i am 2x DualCore Xeon 2.8 with 2GB ram 100mbit.... Cron set to run every 24hrs or midnight :o... once the cron run the load shoots up to 6 - 20 till apache crashes....

even now the server is dead slow due the gateway.php cron

Code:

xyz 18394 11.2 3.6 86660 74972 ? Ss 00:00 25:39 /usr/bin/php /home/xyz/public_html/forum/gateway.php

i have also noticed, sometimes gateway file (but stop leeching from news server) never get killed automatically, on next cron another process is created...

This is a great hack, but someone need to update and optimize the code.

Most likely you're trying to grab too many threads (aka: articles) in one session resulting in the timeout. Before bringing in a new group check to see what the last article ID is and then retrieve only the last hundred or so articles. Do that and add one group at a time and see if there if a difference in your results.
