Hi Paul,

Since you're using IIS and we can't replicate the issue, it's possible
this is a problem specific to IIS. So, it would be helpful if we could
get a better error message in order to find out exactly what line of
code the problem is on.

On Linux machines, the PHP errors that come up while loading a Mahara
page will by default get loaded into the Apache error logs, which in a
standard configuration are at /var/log/apache2/error.log

As Kristina mentioned, the PHP error log is likely to be someplace else
in IIS. If you can't find the output for that, though, you can just
configure your Mahara instance to show errors directly in the web
browser. Just go into your Mahara site's config.php site and add this
line:

$cfg->productionmode = false;

Then try adding one of the feeds. You should see a big ugly PHP error
stack on the page instead of that generic "nonrecoverable error"
message. If you could copy/paste that whole ugly error stack into this
ticket, that would help a lot in tracking it down.

Note that setting "$cfg->productionmode = false" will also put a big
notice at the top of each page that says "This site is not in production
mode". So you'll probably want to do it during off hours so as not to
disturb your users.

Cheers,
Aaron
