Re: [Freevo-users] Advice on new hardware

Looks like a permission problem.
try changing the permissions of /var/cache/freevo/
chown -R YOURFREEVOUSER:users /var/cache/freevo/
should fix it or set

Re: [Freevo-users] Porblem with headlines plugin
Hi, I just upgrade my main freevo box to the last svn version (r10818), and after that the headlines stoped to work. All i have in the logs is something like ERROR: could not open http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot;. I had a few problems to get this version to run as it seems to be python2.5 only, so I did a install of 2.5 and remove the 2.4 packages (debian testing). My guess is that his is more python related than freevo, but who knows... - From which version did you upgrade from? From 1.8.0. But I did a fresh install, only the config file was re-used. AFAICT it got broken in a patch that was sent just before 1.8.1 but I've not had a chance to see what the cause is. I did a very poor printf style debug, and found the offending part as the line: description = doc.entries[count].content[0].value.encode(doc.encoding) of freevo/plugins/headlines.py file. I didnt had the time (perhaps nor skills) to go any further. -- Christian Lyra PoP-PR/RNP - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
