River not flowing in SwiftRiver

[edwin akabuilo]

Hi all
I have installed swiftriver with the latest packages.
I have created a river, bucket and added two channels : Twitter and rss feeds.
However for some reason ..no feeds or twitter post can be retrieved or displayed.

Any Idea how I might troubleshoot this problem..

Thanks in Advance
Ed

Have you set up the background jobs in your crontab?

Any messages in the logs?

application/logs/crawl.log, application/logs/process.log and daily application log file?

Hi Emma

The logs is empty.. I can see cronjob error: php5: not found

Must I have a php5: in the command.
0,15,30,45 * * * * cd /path/to/swiftriver; php5 index.php --uri=process >> application/logs/process.log 2>&1

Do you know if all linux and unix support this command.?

I am running  FreeBSD Server

On some distros, the "php" command will suffice. Our docs are based on tests we run on Debian and Ubuntu Linux.

The guide on the wiki was still referencing the old unsupported args for background jobs hence the error(s). This has now been corrected. See the updated guide: https://wiki.ushahidi.com/display/WIKI/Installing+SwiftRiver#InstallingSwiftRiver-ConfiguringBackgroundJobs

Also make sure your application/logs and application/cache directories are writeable.

Thanks.

HI

I am getting this error: Any Idea
2013-04-08 16:58:04 --- ERROR: Unable to obtain mutex in /home/smallwor/www/smallworldproject.ch/SwiftRiver/application/classes/Task/Crawler.php:24?

Thanks

Hi Edwin,

You're getting the error because the crawler is trying to acquire a lock that is not available. Locks using MySQL's GET_LOCK.  To free the lock - SwiftRiver_Crawler - , run the following statement on your MySQL server:

SELECT RELEASE_LOCK('SwiftRiver_Crawler');
