Updater returns Error 77

Tiny Tiny RSS Support
1

I’m running a Tiny Tiny RSS instance on shared hosting. This problem is likely specific to my shared hosting setup.

I’ve been using this instance without any problem, until last Saturday the updater started returning Error 77 when trying to update feeds. The main TT-RSS interface still works well, but the updater stopped updating feeds returning that error for all of them. What does Error 77 mean, and where should I look to diagnose the problem?

This is cron task that updates the feeds:

/usr/bin/php /var/www/html/tt-rss.01/update.php --feeds

This is a fragment of the updater log indicating the error:

[14:00:02/29242] Base feed: http://www.google.com/appsstatus/rss/en

I wonder if that’s a CURL error?

Curl Error 77 is to do with SSL Certificate Chain problems - CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77)

[This is just me having a guess / fox etc please feel free to give me a shouting if random guesses aren’t encouraged]

As @tjh mentioned, it is curl error 77 (with the 301 indicating a HTTP redirect). You or your shared hosting provider will need to fix whatever system you’re using, as it’s nothing specific to tt-rss.

Thanks for the pointers. My next step would be trying to run curl http://example.com from the command line. I guess it would return the same error 77.

Unfortunately — or fortunately — they fixed their things before I could do that.
