That’s exactly what this comments section is for, and your use of a VM for testing is wise. Thanks for letting me know about FOF-redux… this is the first I’ve heard of it.

Let me know if there are any other features you want to see. And always keep the bug reports coming in so I can make this a decent product. Feel free to email me directly, too.

Your config.php looks fine. Please check that your database is set up as follows. Also, if you can grab the latest from SVN that is actually the most up to date version. In that version inst.php is gone, replaced by install.php. If you can’t deal with SVN, I’ve placed tarball of the distro here for you.

<pre>
CREATE TABLE `feeds` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`url` varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
`title` varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
`link` varchar(250) default NULL,
`description` varchar(250) default NULL,
`date_added` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`tags` varchar(250) default NULL,
`aging` int(11) NOT NULL default '30',
`expir` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
CREATE TABLE `items` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`feed_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`link` text,
`title` varchar(250) default NULL,
`content` text,
`dcdate` text,
`dccreator` text,
`dcsubject` text,
`read` tinyint(4) default NULL,
`publish` tinyint(1) default '0',
`star` tinyint(1) default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `feed_id_idx` (`feed_id`),
KEY `read_idx` (`read`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
</pre>

also make sure that your config.php has this at the bottom…

<pre>
define('FOF_HOWMANY', 50)
define('FOF_KEEP_DAYS', 30)
define('MAGPIE_USE_GZIP', true);
define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');
// Don't log queries. If turned on, they'll be appended to $fof_query_log
define('FOF_QUERY_LOG', false);
// Find ourselves and the cache dir
if (!defined('DIR_SEP')) {
define('DIR_SEP', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
}
if (!defined('FOF_DIR')) {
define('FOF_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . DIR_SEP);
}
if (!defined('FOF_CACHE_DIR'))
{
define('FOF_CACHE_DIR', FOF_DIR . DIR_SEP . "cache");
}
</pre>

I hate to post this here, but the but on the sourceforge page, you said we could: but I have had problems geting MonkeyChow to install on my test machine:

I got the latest version, Im using localhost, i have config.php setup properly and renamed it to config.php, I created a database, and when i goto inst.php I just get a blank page with no errors or messages. I tried to goto install.php and index.php just incase it might have worked. I’m not sure what is wrong:

here is EXACTLY what i have:

define(‘FOF_DB_HOST’, “localhost”);
define(‘FOF_DB_USER’, “root”);
define(‘FOF_DB_PASS’, “”);
define(‘FOF_DB_DBNAME’, “monkeychowdb”);
define(‘RECHANNELURL’, “http://www.example.com/news/rss.php”);
define(‘RECHANNELTITLE’, “Recycled RSS items”);
define(‘RECHANNELDESC’, “Blah”);
define(‘REPUBLISHCHANNELURL’, “http://www.example.com/news/rss.php”);
define(‘REPUBLISHCHANNELTITLE’, “Blogroll”);
define(‘REPUBLISHCHANNELDESC’, “Something for people to read.”);
define(‘DELICIOUSUSERNAME’,”delicioususername”);
define(‘FULLNAME’,”FullName”);
define(‘EMAIL’,”email@example.com”);

Again this is just a test setup on vmware machine I have, because I test webapps on it before I decide to use them online.

Glad to know someone revived FeedonFeeds, I found out about F0F-redux but they dont have 1/10th the features you have put into it. :)
