Hi, I am new to the list, but not with drupal. We have been using drupal as our internal communication site. I am very happy with the ease of install, addon's etc.
We tried to set up RSS feeds to Slashdot via the aggregator module and facing some problem which has been discussed a lot in this connection.
warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to rss.slashdot.org:80 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\includes\common.inc on line 268. warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\includes\common.inc:384) in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\includes\common.inc on line 192.
1) http://drupal.org/node/7881 The common.inc patch discussed in this issue did not help me. It gave some different error about cannot use 2 things. (Sorry I do not have the exact output!)
2) http://drupal.org/node/9706 The proxy patch might be useful since we have one internally. The problem is that with the installed version of drupal which is later then 4.5.2 for which the patches are available we are not able to get the aggregator to work. we have v4.6.3 installed (on windows server) and do not have the conf.pl in place for applying the patch.
Could some one please point me in the right direction? We are looking to implement the aggregator module.
Thank you very much for your time in advance. Regards, Rajesh
