Hello Rob,

You need to ask them to provide the logs or evidance that EasyBlog is hogging up the cpu However, if you have hundreds or thousands of feeds, you can't really blame them either. You need to start looking at alternative hosting providers.

Thank you for the reply but I only have 19 feeds. And I have asked for the logs but they have not responded yet.

Hello Rob,

Sorry for the late reply. Please send us the log when you receive it. Keep us updated

Thanks!

Hello Adelene,

Okay I am getting a lot of internal server 500 errors but I am thinking it happens when the cron is running or something else. My host tells me it is because of high CPU processing and taht I need to get my own server. I can't believe that I would need a server with only 4000 uniques a month.

1. The error in the strace file is below: (Honestly I don't know what a strace file is)

2. The error that I am receiving constantly is below:

[Thu Jan 09 20:32:08 2014] [error] [client 54.241.101.38] SoftException in Application.cpp:641: Could not execute script

3. Now this could be happening due to the cron or the server CPU processes but I would appreciate your feedback when you have time.

Regards,
Rob

Hello Rob,

Hm, try to disable the random post and see if that helps. As for the second error, not really sure what it is all about but I am guessing there's a script that failed execution. Perhaps you could also try to temporarily disable the feed imports just to see if it helps with the CPU?

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your reply Mark. But I rely on the feeds as a main point of my website.

Questions: (for the talented/genius minds at stackideas )

1. Is there a way to setup crons to just run individual feeds by themselves? Example below:

If I had a feed with ID1 and ID2 and I wanted to run ID1 at 10:00AM and I wanted to run ID2 at 10:05PM could I setup a cron statement to do this?

2. What does the " Feed Amount" in the RSS Feed component mean? See image.

I am researching but I was wondering if this could be possible

Regards,
Rob

Hello Rob,

Unfortunately it's not possible to specifically execute for specific feeds currently unless you manually run the feed importing from the back end As for the "Feed Amount", it actually determines the total number of articles to fetch every time it runs .

Hello Mark,

I am grateful for your reply - you didn't have to answer me right away but you did and thank you. That is okay about the cron.

I think having that feed amount box will help greatly. Being able to control the amount of articles will probably not put so much use on the CPU.

I also noticed that once you set up a feed you cannot go back in and change anything about that feed. Is it designed that way or is it a bug?

Thank you again.

Kindest Regards,
Rob

Hm, you should be able to edit the feed settings when you click on the feed. Is this not working for you?

Hello Mark,

I able to enter the amount of feeds to pull but I cannot adjust any switches. Could be a FireFox thing as that is the only browser that I use.

See image.

Regards,
Rob

Hm I can't seem to reproduce this locally, can I have the back end and FTP access to the site? I'll check on this for you

Info supplied thank you again.

Hello Rob,

I have applied some fixes for you on the site, can you try this again now?

Hello Mark,

Yes it worked could you tell me what it was.

Regards,
Rob

Hello Rob,

There's an issue with the "links" when redirecting to the edit view but it's all good now
