publishcron problems Can't Post
I'm having some errors using the publishcron.cgi script that I could use some help with. First let me say I've successfully used this script on another site with no issues.

Here is what is taking place:

1. When I enter the url into my browser the script takes loads very quickly even though it is supposed to produce almost 70 html pages. This error message then comes up:

Code
Internal Server Error 
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. 
 
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. 
 
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

2. It does successfully create all of the individual html pages but this error is displayed on each:

Code
Not Found 
 
The requested URL /cgi-bin/content/exec/search.cgi was not found on this server.

3. I have the correct search.cgi URL in the publishcron.ini file and I've tested the info I have the query field in a browser and it will successfully produce a page with the search instructions I've given it.

Can anyone see anything that I might have missed or that would cause both of these errors?

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam.

Thanks for posting!

My first thought is that you are running into a resource problem here. You mentioned that publishcron is trying to create 70 pages which to me, seems like a lot. How many articles do you have in your system?

Because you are trying to create 70 pages, you are actually running 70 search queries back to back to back. Doing 70 searches can take up quite a few resources even with just a few articles. So the first thing I am thinking as a solution would be to try and cut down on the number of pages you have.

Of course, it’s a little tricky to pin point the exact cause without having a closer look so if you wanted to send me some FTP details through a support request here:

I can get onto your server and run a few tests. How does that sound? I look forward to hearing from you Smile.

I have the same publishcron probelm. It makes the page but gives me an error. I am trying to create an RSS feed. The links to the RSS tutorial seemed to have dissappeared...

Hi there

Thanks for posting!

From the sounds of it, publishcron is actually working. It's only job is to save whatever happens to be on your search page. If the search page produces an error, that is saved by publishcron.

So I think the problem here is going to be with your search. Could you try just going to your search engine and running a search?

Perhaps you could try running the search that publishcron is running. The way you would do that is open up publishcron.ini and combine your search_url value with the query1 value.

For example if you have :

search_url = www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/search.cgi
query1 = search=1&template=rss.html

your whole thing would be:

www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/search.cgi?search=1&template=rss.html

Give that a shot and let me know what happens Smile.
