Can someone please help me with this issue. The problem appears to lay in the rss_cmps_curl_php syntax. I'm pretty clueless in this regard. Here is the current error (copied from my web browser):

Warning: file(feed://circ.ahajournals.org/rss/current.xml) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/modules/rss_cmps_curl.php on line 140

The lines of code surrounding (and including) line 140 of the rss_cmps_curl_php file are as follows:

136 function rss_get_contents($file)
{
138 if (strncmp('http:', strtolower($file), 5) != 0)
139 { // fetch the cached file
140 $file = file($file);
return !$file ? false : implode('', $file);
}
else
{ // get the remote feed
$curl_handle = curl_init($file);

I believe that the problem involves this specific statement:

// fetch the cached file
140 $file = file($file);

I have played with the "file=file" line and get different errors. I remember reading about "relative vs absolute" path designations...does the above point to a relative path description which needs to be changed to absolute? I believe that this refers to the cache file.

Any help interpreting this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Did you try that?

Try using this file instead of the default one
rss_cmps_curl.php

Has anyone tried to update this for vb4.1.5 yet?

I love to know.

Thanks.
