    You can always go in the database and clean tiki_rss_feeds and tiki_rss_modules with the unwanted rss....
    Not the best but ...

    I really want to resolve this issue. Or it would make it very difficult to add RSS feeds in the future.

    Has anyone faced a similar situation and found a solution? I scoured the forums and only found this.

    using external RSS feeds is always a problem. If the source from the site is down, or very slow. your tiki site really suffers.

    It is best to try and not use them at all, or if you really must the only solution is to setup a cronjob for retrieval of them and then the tiki only displays what is in cache. Using this method also fixes the delay when its time for tiki to refresh the cache, which can also kill the site.

    If you want the patch files and cronjob scripts, let me know and I'll email them.

    I had tried adding the RSS feeds to Tiki at opensourcecms and they worked without a hitch. So its probably my setup thats the problem and not the feeds. confused


    I had read here that RSS feeds may require a proxy? But I can already retrieve some external feeds without a proxy.

    I had also just 'solved' a strstr() Line 4174 error by entering in Server name (for absolute URIs): my tiki address. I think it could be related to the following.

    * Starting apache2...
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.3 for ServerName                 [ ok ]


    In your view, do any of them have any relation to my RSS feed errors that totally cripple my Tiki? I couldnt even log in.
