496002 - stage Feeder has no entires

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: mozillaservice.org, defect)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

The stage server has no entries on homepage or activity/feed page.

http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/feeder/ shows that the config is there.

http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/feeder/update displays no errors.

There were issues with the simplepie library with the error:
Fatal error: Class 'Kohana' not found in /home/development/application/libraries/SimplePie.php

so I replaced all instances of '=& new ' with '= new '. this 'fixed' the issue, but no I'm not seeing any entries get created. updated says 'OK'.

Added some code to test simplepie. It doesn't seem to be working.
Url:
http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/feeder/test_simplepie2

Code being run:
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozillaservice.org/trunk/web/modules/feeder/controllers/feeder.php


Expected output:
OK
loading lib 1
Simple Pie is 40cd750bba9870f18aada2478b24840a

set feed url
initialized
title is Delicious/tag/mozilla

Actual output:
OK
loading lib 1
Simple Pie is 40cd750bba9870f18aada2478b24840a

set feed url
initialized
title is 

So we can instantiate SimplePie, but it isn't able to output the title of the feed. Could be failing to
a) retrieve or
b) parse

I know curl is installed and works, because we use that for the "magic mini dcms" feature. we use curl_init function.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is:  Are the application/logs, application/cache, and application/cache/feeder directories all created and writable by apache?

Also... Is this PHP 5.2 on the server? Or, what are the versions of PHP between dev/stage/etc?

5.2.4 dev server is                    OK
5.2.6 stage.ozten.com is               OK
5.2.6 mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com ERROR

The problem seems to be with parsing the feed...

http://mozillaservice.stage.mozilla.com/feeder/test_simplepie4

Avoids network access and uses set_raw_data with a blob of XML. On stage this fails silently... no title.

Upgrading simplepie 'PECAN' to 1.1.3 (and removed '&= new' again)

Seems like this fixed the issue.
