Newbie help - no articles on tt-rss on cpanel

Describe the problem you’re having:
I’m getting no feeds on my tt-rss set up.
No articles are displaying and it appears that the feed is not refreshing.

If possible include steps to reproduce the problem:
Installed it using the easy-install. Imported my feeds from feedly. I went to run the update daemon through ssh. First I went to my …/tt-rss/ and run php update_daemon2.php but I get errors saying that I’m trying to run from CGI. So I type php -a and then type update_daemon2.php and I get no output feedback.

tt-rss version (including git commit id):
Tiny Tiny RSS v17.12 (e35a467)

Platform (i.e. Linux distro, PHP, PostgreSQL, etc) versions:
cPanel
5.6.38 - MySQL Community Server (GPL)
PHP version: 5.6.30

Please provide any additional information below:
I’m a noob, so I fully accept that it might be something simple.

Does this thread help in your case?

Sounds like php isn’t setup properly, not really sure how it’s supposed to work with cPanel.

Can you post the actual error you are seeing when trying to run the update?
Also what about running the individual update.php, does that give the same issue?
What HTTP server does it use? Apache/Nginx?

Maybe try this: https://tt-rss.org/oldforum/viewtopic.php?t=3062

It’s been a long time since I dealt with cPanel, but if I remember correctly the command line version of PHP is usually installed as php-cli and not just php. Change the command to php-cli and it should work. If not, make sure you have the php-cli package installed as I’ve seen cPanel installs without it before :slight_smile:
