RSS Source Listing - "Remote Files Cannot Be Parsed"

Squiz Matrix Support

Matrix Version: 5.4.1.2

Reliably, across both of our servers, trying to follow https://matrix.squiz.net/tutorials/2016/how-to-create-an-rss-data-source-listing manually and also trying the sample assets file we’re seeing:

Remote Files Cannot Be Parsed

Any quick tips? Servers can wget the target RSS - so I’m thinking it’s not firewall related at this point.

So are you getting that error with https://matrix.squiz.net/news/rss.xml or another RSS feed?

Can you check:

# php -i | grep allow_url_fopen
allow_url_fopen => On => On

and also check if it’s configured in php-fpm, Apache or NGinx as “Off” anywhere?

PHP config has:

allow_url_fopen => Off => Off

Ok, that’ll be why it’s erroring then.
