RSS Batch Process Configuration

[UncleJohnsBand]

Strewth, it's been a month - where did April go?

And sadly, it's the same story: I stopped the service, installed new version, restarted the service - and the result's the same. Now I feel guilty, UJB....

Ok...lets go back to square one and identify what is happening that should not be or what is not happening that should be.

From what I can find in the past posts....it sounds as though when using the &filter= parameter you can set a live bookmark in Firefox....but the plain http://yourcomputer:7647/gbpvr/public/rss.aspx does not trigger the ability to set a live feed.....FireFox is not recognizing it.

Is this correct?

Is this the only issue?

Here is what I get using FireFox 2.0 accessing the straight rss.aspx page....

In fact what I get is an error page:
Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Can you run the browser locally so you can see the error?

pastro is correct.....you need to run this on the host pc to get the actual error you are recieving.....what you posted is a generic message delivered to users accessing EWA via a client machine rather than the machine that is actually hosting GBPVR and EWA.

Post your results.

Thanks.

Ok, have now done so. And I now get the RSS feed page exactly as above (go figure!

Then:
1. Clicking on one of the RSS filter icons gets me a page full of XML
2. Entering the RSS filter URL into a live bookmark gets me a dead 'fail to load' message EXCEPT for the 'completed' filter - which works.

This is all on the localhost...

When you click on the RSS Icon you should see the XML.....that icon is a link to take you directly to the feed.

Do you really get a dead 'fail to load' message or do you see the below (which is from FireFox 2):

The exact wording is 'Live bookmark feed failed to load'. That's it...

Any changes with the new RSS library that is being used?

[pastro]

It doesn't seem like there was a change on liteswap's problem.

I just stopped the GBPVR service, renamed the ./gbpvr/web directory ./gbpvr/old_web and extracted the new EWA's files. Restarted the GBPVR service and it all worked fine first time -- apart from the fact that I still don't have full RSS capability

Sadly, no. Well, I've stopped banging my head against this brick wall, the pain is slowly fading - maybe it just isn't destined to be. Tbh, for me anyway, RSS capability is a nice-to-have rather than a must-have...
