Import error

Submitted by robah on Wed, 2022-03-09 17:24 in

As life normally throws a curve ball every now again, I'm just getting over mine, which means I've been away from my sites for quite a while... so time to catch up and update.

First things first, update the feeds .... click 'run'

I then get a screen full of this

{code saved}

Seems to be happening on different sites with different feeds, old and new

I'm not sure where to start to try and figure this out, so I thought I'd ask if you have seen or experienced this before?

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

That appears to be raw zipped content being sent to output, just to confirm; are you updating a feed URL in the Automation Tool, save the job details, and then click Run and that is what you are seeing in your browser window?

Cheers,
David.

Hi David . Yes

Automation tool

Doesn't matter if I use a feed URL from a while ago, or a freshly generated one

Once I click save and run or run I get the characters as shown before.

I tried running from several pc's and on different sites, generally speaking i get the same result

I'm wondering if it is something to do with me hosting

Obviously naïve to think I could pick up where I left off .... :)

Hi Rob,

That's strange - I can't see why it would be downloading to stdout, the first I would suggest is to try the php handler instead of auto which would normally invoke the curl handler. To do this, change the value of $config_automationHandler in config.advanced.php at line 43 as follows:

  $config_automationHandler = "php";

If still no joy let me know and I'll check it out further with you...

Cheers,
David.

David

Thank you as always for your prompt replies, appreciated.

I'm feeling ever so embarrassed, in following your suggestion from a pc without FTP access I logged into the hosting company to use their inbuilt web space editor, it was then I noticed that web space, although 'unlimited' was in fact full.

For the period I had been away, I hadn't emptied the cache directories which were bursting at the seams.

Once cleared, the files imported as they should!!

DUH! springs to mind

Thanks again & regards

Rob
