Attempt to run TinyTinyRss on shared hosting, despite their warnings in their documentation that it won't work: Failed.

I mean: I *do* have ssh access, but somehow HostEurope configures PHP/MySQL strangely.
Running the updater on the command line first resulted in
PDO [2002] No such file or directory
and after setting host to 127.0.0.1 to
[2002] Connection timed out

D:

Strangely, the installation / setup wizard worked... So for some reason, the command line access seems to be too resricted, so that I can't connect to MySQL from there

Okay, I tricked them. Created a php file that calls php on the updater script with the required flags (update once).
Now I just have to call the web page / script externally via a cron service.

@uvok didn't that program have such a thing officially to be called by external cron sites?

@SiGe at least the documentation doesn't mention it. According to the docs, there's two different daemons, one option to run a php file with flags via the cron in the web server (won't work either with HE), or an option to run updates only when you're on ttrss with a browser (but I want access via a client).
So I ended up creating a cron on my freifunk node.

@uvok Maybe become legacy at some point
