Cannot access FeedBurner.

[Arbo]

Hey,
I update to the 1.0.4 version via automatic updates inside Wordpress
( > just lazy) and it does integrate a lot better now. Now I get
nicely formatted error messages instead of the regular php errors.
The problem isn’t resolved yet, but from your description I think it
might have to do with a configuration error on the server side.
I currently use the following plugin’s that connect to the outside-
server-world:
- Akismet
- Feed Subscriber Stats (Gets the total number of subscribers - light
version of what you’ve made I guess - and this works fine)
Both seem to work just fine. Wich function do you use for the external
communication? Maybe I can check the server for this?

I've spent the past few days looking into the issue and trying to find
a solution. Here are my findings so far:

It appears that WordPress 2.7's new http.php class can use one of the
following methods to access remote servers:

* exthttp
* curl
* streams
* fopen
* fsockopen

The http.php file will try all of those and use the one that it thinks
will work. In the earlier message that you sent, WordPress was
throwing an error at line 782. This is when it is trying to use the
HTTP streams method. As far as I know, this *can* run into
permissions issues on some servers.

Akismet and Feed Subscriber Stats simply use fsockopen. We can assume
that fsockopen on your server *is* configured correctly on your server
because Akismet and Feed Subscriber Stats work properly.

Since pretty much all servers have the ability to use fsockopen, I'll
try to find a PHP class that makes use of this method. Right now, I'm
looking into using Troy Wolf's class_php
(http://www.troywolf.com/articles/php/class_http).

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hey Jonathan,

I've tried theh following script on my server just to see if that
would work and it runs without any problems.

eader("Content-type: application/xml;charset=utf-8");
$url = "http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?
uri=bramensofie";
$fh = fopen($url, 'r');
//var_dump($fh);

while (!feof($fh)) {
echo(fgets($fh, 1024));
}

This prints out the feed as it should be.

Maybe the problem is of a different kind?

You're right--it probably isn't a permissions issue.

On the WordPress 2.7 dashboard, do the posts in the "WordPress
Development Blog" widgets show up?

Also: have you tried upgrading to the final version of WordPress 2.7?
Do the issues persist after upgrading? Judging by the commit log
(http://trac.wordpress.org/log/trunk/wp-includes/http.php), there were
many changes made to http.php since beta 2.

Thanks!
Jonathan

I'm currently running WP 2.7 on three of my blogs. All three of them
are running the feed stats plugin and all three of them are still
giving the same problem :/

The Wordpress blog is showing on the dashboards. Same for the latest
plugins widget.

This is strange no? If you need me to test anything just drop me an
email ;)
