Mint Forum

Hi,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.

I’m using Bird Feeder with Chyrp on my blog http://thedailyt.com , and as of three days ago I’m having the problem that every single feed hit is counted as a subscriber.

I’m using a Chyrp module I wrote myself to include the Bird Feeder /feeder/index.php script, the module website is here: http://terje.github.com/chyrp-mint

This module has worked fine for me for a couple months now, and the only thing I know changed in the past few days is that dreamhost moved me to a new server.

Does anyone know what can be causing this?

Then you’re not understanding the Chyrp code correctly I’m afraid.

I include /feeder/index.php and fetch the $BirdFeeder global once per request, and then use the seed() function once per post in that feed to generate the seed URL. (in the code, the feed_url trigger is called once per feed item that’s being printed)

As I said, this has worked fine for quite a while, I double checked with the server logs when I wrote the extension. It’s a bit more complicated than I had the time for to verify exact feed subscriber numbers from just server logs but it was definitely ballpark.

Something happened in the last week, and the only thing I can think of is the server move, as mentioned. I’m on shared hosting and the server probably got a new IP along with a new name.

I realise this is difficult to troubleshoot without more info but I was hoping someone had seen something similar. I’ll poke around a bit and see what I can find.

Thanks.

That did the trick, thanks! :) I updated all checksum and ip columns to UNSIGNED and Mint is now back to tracking as usual.
