Bugs
----
Before reporting bugs:
* We do not support Internet Explorer and Safari (Patches accepted though, except for IE < 10)
* get the newest version of the App Framework
* get the newest version of the News app
* `check if they have already been reported <https://github.com/owncloud/news/issues?state=open>`_
----------------
If you are not able to add a feed because its XML *does not validate* (see `this issue <https://github.com/owncloud/news/issues/133>`_ for an example),
check if:
* it is a valid RSS by running it through the `W3C validator <http://feed2.w3.org/>`_
* you are able to add the feed in other feed readers
* it runs without error through `SimplePie demo <http://www.simplepie.org/demo/>`_
In the case the third condition is not met, please file a bug on `SimplePie issue tracker <https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie>`_.
Before you install the News app
-------------------------------
Before you install the app check that the following requirements are met:
- `Magic quotes are turned off <http://php.net/manual/de/security.magicquotes.disabling.php>`_ (only needed for PHP < 5.4)
- `You use a browser that supports the FileReader API <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM/FileReader#Browser_compatibility>`_
- You can use a cron or webcron to call Background Jobs in ownCloud
- Your **data/** directory is owned by your webserver user and write/readable
- You have installed **php-curl** and activated it in the **php.ini**
- Install ownCloud **5.0.6+** (important!)
Should you have upgraded from a prior version, disable the CSS and JavaScript caching by adding this to :file:`owncloud/config/config.php`::
DEFINE('DEBUG', true);
You can remove the line after a page reload

- Clone the **News** app into the **/var/www** directory::
git clone https://github.com/owncloud/news.git
- Link both into ownCloud's apps folder::
ln -s /var/www/appframework /var/www/owncloud/apps
ln -s /var/www/news /var/www/owncloud/apps

Performance Notices
-------------------
* Use MySQL or PostgreSQL for better database performance
* Use the `updater script for large installations to thread the update <https://github.com/owncloud/news/wiki/Cron-1.2>`_
Frequent Problems
-----------------
All feeds are not updated anymore
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`This is a bug in the core backgroundjob system <https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/3221>`_ deleting the :file:`owncloud/data/cron.lock` file gets the cron back up running
Another way to fix this is to run a custom `updater script <https://github.com/owncloud/news/wiki/Cron-1.2>`_
All feeds are not updated and theres no cron.lock
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Check if the cronjob exists with **crontab -u www-data -e** (replace www-data with your httpd user)
* Check the file permissions of the **cron.php** file and if **www-data** (or whatever your httpd user is called like) can read and execute that script
* Check if the cronjob is ever executed by placing an **error_log('updating')** in the `background job file <https://github.com/owncloud/news/blob/master/backgroundjob/task.php#L37>`_. If the cronjob runs, there should be an updating log statement in your httpd log.
* If there is no **updating** statement in your logs check if your cronjob is executed by executing a different script
* If your cron works fine but owncloud's cronjobs are never executed, file a bug in `core <https://github.com/owncloud/core/>`_
* Try the `updater script <https://github.com/owncloud/news/wiki/Cron-1.2>`_
News always redirects to files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This problem is related to opcode caching, `check the issue tracker for how to solve it <https://github.com/owncloud/news/issues/319>`_
Configuration
-------------
All configuration values are set inside :file:`owncloud/data/news/config/config.ini`
The configuration is in **INI** format and looks like this:
.. code-block:: ini
autoPurgeMinimumInterval = 60
autoPurgeCount = 200
simplePieCacheDuration = 1800
feedFetcherTimeout = 60
useCronUpdates = true
* **autoPurgeMinimumInterval**: Minimum amount of seconds after deleted feeds and folders are removed from the database.
* **autoPurgeCount**: Defines the minimum amount of articles that can be unread per feed before they get deleted
* **simplePieCacheDuration**: Amount of seconds to cache feeds
* **feedFetcherTimeout**: Maximum number of seconds to wait for an RSS or Atom feed to load. If a feed takes longer than that number of seconds to update, the update will be aborted
* **useCronUpdates**: To use a custom update/cron script you need to disable the cronjob which is run by ownCloud by default by setting this to false
