Hi, It would be helpful to know what version of gregarius you are running. There have been some recent changes to the update.php file and some of them change the behaviour of update.php?silent. It would also be helpful to know if the update was working fine earlier and has now suddenly stopped working. Also, try doing the same thing you are doing with a smaller number of feeds (about 100) and see if you have the same problem. > - How do i set it so when the update.php?silent page is called it > completes a full pass of the database and updates all the feeds? The CGI error you are getting means that update.php?silent is dying before it finishes. There could be several reasons for this. Maybe the process gets out of memory, or it is running past max_execution_time which is set in your php.ini file or there is a bug in the code somewhere. Do your server logs give you any information? > - If i open my browser and type in > http://www.mysite.com/admin/update.php?silent can i then shut my > browser window without ending the update process? ie, once called will > it continue to run until completion even if the callers user session no > longer exists? Quite by chance I asked Martey the same question this morning. It looks like the script continues to run even if the browser aborts the session. Sameer
