Dev clean install wont connect to nntp server

[bert0901]

Just done a clean install. Tried to do a pull of headers for a group.

It just sits there and times out at the stage of saying "Getting first/last for all your active groups."

The shortgroup doesn't get updated or any values in the group tables.

Any advice welcome.

many Thanks

Check logs for any possible hint.

That's the thing, nothing anywhere.

Only error it gives is "Error: Failed to getGroups() from nntp server."

Nothing in the Laravel log.

The resource/log folder empty. And even tried to run in the tmux/bin folder the update_groups.php and no php eror log in there either

Stupid question, but have you copied .env.example to .env and edited that file?

[bert0901]

Yep done all that.

Tried both ssl and non ssl. Tried 2 different providers.

APP_NAME=NNTmux
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true

Set those to local and debug.

Its when I use "complete threaded update" same message.

When I use "Simple" just loops to end without any headers. That's why tried to run the update_groups.php so that would work as it seems to rely on short_groups values.

Just used the old test_nntp_server.php file to see if getting a connection.

php test_nntp_server.php alt.binaries.teevee 595751142
Array
(
[group] => alt.binaries.teevee
[first] => 2
[last] => 1466060586
[count] => 1466060585
)

So looks like the .env file is all okay as getting results.

Gone back before updates few days ago and all working fine. So must be something around that time.

Sorry, before the blacklight\nntp file was changed

Been looking into this issue, and resetting the "Fix wrong size in substr check in NNTP class " push to the original value seems to solve the issue.

Thanks for resolving that
