Running RSS Cron Job freezes the FreeNAS WebGUI and never runs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Add
"http://www.ezrss.it/search/index.php?simple&show_name=The+Office&mode=rss"
2. No filter, download all 
3. Manually force cron job. (it will never run automatically for some
reason...)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to get the RSS feed history and have the items download in
Transmission. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Most recent version. Latest nightly build of FreeNAS. 

Please provide any additional information below.

I would like to get this working for Fall TV shows!! :) I have just dealt
with it not working for the past few months. Not sure what broke it or why
it stopped, but the cron job stopped working a while back. Was not sure if
any new development would be made on this....

When the FreeNAS boots (embedded) I have it run to install the RSS Extension. It
seems as if the RSS feed is processed correctly on boot because I just rebooted 
the
FreeNAS (since the RSS Cron job borked my WebGUI and froze it all up) and 
noticed all
of the files were being downloaded in Transmission. 

I am not sure if the cron job will work now or what the deal is, but I know 
when I
added it and ran the cron job manually to do the initial RSS parsing it froze 
up the
WebGUI. 

The new episode of "The Office" airs on Thursday so time will tell if it works, 
I
guess. I am really hoping it does. 

On the other hand. With the new .7RC2 when you enter the Extension it forces a
limited WebGUI somehow. It is like the userportal or something.

I also have the same problem with the 0.7 version it just wont work, it won't 
check
the RSS feeds automatically and when I try to run the cron job manually it 
freezes
the web interface.

I believe this is caused to a die() statement in the rss_cron.php script when 
it 
encounters a malformed feed or is unable to retrieve a feed.  This should be 
resolved 
in the cookie release branch which is currently the official branch (to force 
testing 
and also since it should solve this bug.)  Awaiting confirmation as I don't run 
0.70.

Hi,

I am also having trouble getting the rss cron running, when i re-install the
extension (im running freenas embedded version) i get the feeds scanned 
properly and
DL's start in transmission. When i run the cron either through the GUI or 
manually it
just hangs and borks the web interface ( a /etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart fixes it 
if
anyone is getting bored of rebooting there NAS).

Any idea whats up??

Freenas : 0.7RC1
RSS     : RSS-cookie-0711200901.tgz

Bug in FreeNAS when executing PHP scripts from the WebGUI interface.  See 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2881578&group_id=151951&atid=78
2616 .  
I've done all I can, but I can't fix this.  Do not run the cron job from the 
WebGUI!
