Thread

Hello,

Apologies for reopening/recreating a topic about this but I am alittle lost on the solution.

I would like to get the RSS articles back on my AdminCP but upon re-adding them, the issue reported in the referenced thread below is still present.

I’ve narrowed this down now to potentially a problem created by my server firewall/iptables frontend - APF.  I didn’t think this would cause a problem with the frontend, but it seems abit of a coincidence that upon disabling APF the problem all but dissapears.

Upon disabling APF, there is no delay in loading the AdminCP with the RSS feeds (the feeds load as they should).  When I re-enable APF, the slowdown occurs again.

I appreciate this may be out of bounds for support from EE, but it’s worth as shot as I’m a little lost as to the solution here.

The following ports are what I have set in APF config - I’m assuming I’ve missed a port some where which might be causing this EE issue.

# Common inbound (ingress) TCP ports
IG_TCP_CPORTS=“20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,993,995,2103,2222,3306,35000_37500”

# Common inbound (ingress) UDP ports
IG_UDP_CPORTS=“20,21,53”

# Common ICMP inbound (ingress) types
# ‘internals/icmp.types’ for type definition; ‘all’ is wildcard for any
IG_ICMP_TYPES=“3,5,11,0,30,8”

# Common outbound (egress) TCP ports
EG_TCP_CPORTS=“20,21,25,26,37,43,53,80,113,443,465,873,2222”

# Common outbound (egress) UDP ports
EG_UDP_CPORTS=“21,53,465,873”

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tom

This question may be related to a resolved thread.

You are correct, this is beyond the support we can offer… I have personally no experience with iptables or any frontends (I like to leave server configuration to the pros), but I am going to move this over to Howto to allow for some community input.

You might start by trying to use the Magpie plugin on its own in a template, as that is what is used to fetch the news feed in the control panel.  It’s a regular HTTP request, so it would be going over port 80.

Thanks Both,

Derek:  I’d rather try and fix the problem than try to patch it up with another method, though I appreciate the suggestion.

Tom, you misunderstand.  I mean for you to use the magpie plugin in a template so you can work directly with it outside of the context of the control panel to help figure out why it’s not working on your server.
