Phillip I have a problem

My installation of ST at www.allopenjobs.com won't accept any RSS feeds as news sources, even though they all are perfectly valid. The installation is brand new, no mods or anything.
No XML/RSS newsfeed found. You need to enter the full URL to the newsfeed (e.g. http://www.site/xml/backend.php)

Which I did, http part and all.

Unfortunately, I am currently far to busy to doing a modification like this. I may find the time in 2 weeks.

That's great, it works now. But what about my other questions?

Yes, try replacing:

$raw = @file($this->URL);

with:

 $fp = curl_init($this->URL); 

  curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

     $raw = curl_exec($fp); 

   curl_close($fp);

and remove the follow line:

$raw = implode("", $raw);

I see. This is a second call to verify the feed.

Just replace the second fopen line with:

$iwebsite = "1";

Nothing. Still does that even after the change. But I can import news from your ntcompatible feeds, which is weird. If already existing feeds work, why doesn't adding a new feed work? Computers really hate me.

EDIT:

maybe line 2097 in cadmin/mod_news is the problem? It still uses fopen.

$iwebsite = @fopen("$categorydsc", "r");

Ok, try the following modification. Open cadmin/mod_news in an editor and replace:

            $fp = fopen("$import[import_xmlurl]", "r");

            while ($xmldata = fread($fp, 4096)) xml_parse($xml, $xmldata, feof($fp));

            fclose($fp);

with:

                  $fp = curl_init($import[import_xmlurl]);

          curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);            

            $xmldata = curl_exec($fp);

              curl_close($fp);

          xml_parse($xml, $xmldata);

CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1.2 libidn/0.5.6

I guess it is.

I would open a trouble ticket with them and see if they can enable it for you. Is curl installed on that server? Curl should show up as separate module in phpinfo.

Damn. Yes, phpinfo shows they did. So, what now? My other site is hosted on another server of the same provider and feeds work just fine.

Perhaps your web hosting provider disabled the ability to allow remote urls (allow_url_fopen = off)?
