Hello, I moved around 6 Joomla sites over to my Linode account a few months ago. I've managed to get everything working excluding the RSS feeds.

I've checked all the Joomla forums and in #joomla irc for an answer but haven't been able to fix my problem.

If anyone has experienced a similar problem I'd appreciate some help

"rss doesn't work" is unfortunately too vague for anybody to be of much help.

Anyone who has moved a joomla site onto a Linode will know what I'm talking about.

Umm, no. How about you tell us what is not working as my Joomla sites have no problem.

Unlikely, as a Linode should be just like any other server as far as Joomla is concerned.

Did you migrate the sites? or set them up on the Linode.

I'm getting the following error;


However, the FTP username/pw Joomla is set-up with has full read/write permissions over the folder. The folder is owned by Joomla/www-data, etc

According to people on the Joomla forums, and #joomla it's all set up right from that end, also spend hours on the ubuntu forums and in #ubuntu and cant find a problem via that route either.

Joomla doesn't FTP feeds to the web server, the web server writes the files. Make sure that whatever user is running your web server can write to the directory and/or overwrite the existing file(s).

Should have mentioned that you probably should be looking at the permissions of the cache/ directory. Within Joomla's site administrator, if you go to Help->System Info and then select Directory Permissions you'll see a bunch of directories that the system thinks are unwritable because the web server can't write to it. Some you may not care about, but others you'll want to fix.
