Hey All,

 

Just SVN'd up to the lastest version of NewzNab. Now when I try to run one of the udpate scripts it fails and this appears in the SF web server log:

 

[26-Feb-2013 15:44:15 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_digit() in /mnt/cache/web/www/lib/Net_NNTP/NNTP/Client.php on line 1079

 

I also noticed than in the update_scripts it now calls for /usr/bin/php5 - I looked in that folder and don't have a file called php5, just php which I amended it to.

 

Any ideas?

SOLVED  - in the SF php.ini the ctype extension is commented out - uncomment and restart web server.

had the same problem thanks for the post! Below is what your newznab_screen.sh file should look like. Be sure to set export NEWZNAB_PATH="[with your newznab root directory]"

 

#!/bin/sh
# call this script from within screen to get binaries, processes releases and 
# every half day get tv/theatre info and optimise the database

set -e

export NEWZNAB_PATH="/mnt/cache/appdata/server/misc/update_scripts"
export NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME="600" # in seconds
LASTOPTIMIZE=`date +%s`

while :

do
CURRTIME=`date +%s`
cd ${NEWZNAB_PATH}
/usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/update_binaries.php
/usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/update_releases.php

DIFF=$(($CURRTIME-$LASTOPTIMIZE))
if [ "$DIFF" -gt 43200 ] || [ "$DIFF" -lt 1 ]
then
LASTOPTIMIZE=`date +%s`
/usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/optimise_db.php
/usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/update_tvschedule.php
/usr/bin/php ${NEWZNAB_PATH}/update_theaters.php
fi

echo "waiting ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME} seconds..."
sleep ${NEWZNAB_SLEEP_TIME}

done
