I recently reinstalled tt-rss from an old slower raspberry pi to a faster similar version. While doing so I’ve run into a problem with the “af_psql_trgm” plugin. I have two feeds that sometimes turn up with quite similar titles (and content) so this plugin helped me a lot in the past but whenever I turn it on now, I only get error messages in the logs and the feeds stop updating.

This is what the error messages states:

SQLSTATE[42883]: Undefined function: 7 ERROR: function “similarity” does not exist LINE 1: select ‘similarity’::regproc ^#0 /var/www/html/tt-rss/plugins/af_psql_trgm/init.php(256): PDO->query('select ‘similar…’)
#1 /var/www/html/tt-rss/classes/rssutils.php(752): Af_Psql_Trgm->hook_article_filter(Array)
#2 /var/www/html/tt-rss/classes/rssutils.php(192): RSSUtils::update_rss_feed(13, true, false)
#3 /var/www/html/tt-rss/update.php(166): RSSUtils::update_daemon_common()
#4 {main}

I have installed the postgresql extension via

CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;

I’m running version v18.8 (643d191) directly from git, with nginx, php7.2 and postgresql 10

Does anyone know which step I forgot to take or how I can resolve this?

Thank you!

Datum point: I had this when I moved to a different hosting provider, and was able to upgrade my php from 5.ancient to 7.2.

Thought I’d try postgres, (having used mysql previously,) but got this exact error. I dug around a bit on google but never did find an answer myself.

Out of laziness, and thinking it was something stupid I was doing, I didn’t post here and simply went back to mysql.

thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and it improves something, meaning I get a “clear data” link next to the plugin like I used to have in the old setup and didn’t have before, but the end result is also the same.

Could it have something to do with the PHP version?

Also: in the old setup there was an extra “tab” under “Feeds” for this extension where you can change some settings. Now when the plugin is enabled, I get the “tab” as well, but it’s blank.

Elander · 2018-11-10 10:27:00 UTC

Ok, I found it, I should have initialized the extension on the specific database.

In case others are struggling too: assuming that the db is called “ttrss” I switched to the command line of postgresql:
sudo -u postgres psql --dbname=ttrss
then install the extension there:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;

that was all
