Do you know if the tpamahara site has its cron set up correctly
(http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Cron_Job)?  The
feeds should update every hour or so if it's set up properly.

If cron is running and the feeds are still not updating, then there
should be some errors in either the cron log (if cron.php is called on
the command line) or in the webserver log (if cron.php is called using
curl).

Bug description:
Hello,

im running mahara 1.0.8 on MySQL 5.0.75, lighttpd/1.4.19 with PHP 5.2.8.

Everything's seems to work apart from the updating of RSS-Feeds in Views.

The Cron-Job is in place, and the RSS-Boxes within Views give recent date-info like "last updated on...". The Items of RSS-Feeds nevertheless just show the items that were there, when the feed was added.
Even when I tried to delete the Feed-Box, saved the view and re-inserted a new box with the rss-feed details, there was no update.


I would greatly appreciate any ideas/hints to solve this issue !


I've added below two exemplary entries from the lighttpd error-log 
that appear several times.

Thank you for your help.
