I have had some problems recently in getting the web reader feature in my River5 RSS reader install to work. Since I recently revised my main subscription list to create a blogroll OPML file, I decided it would be good to perform a clean install and start fresh with a smaller set of feed lists. I am recording the following steps to document my work.
- Completed backup of current river5 folder from server
- Saved my latest feed list as readinglist.txt
- Found post about River5 callbacks, could not find my callback script
- Looked at artcasting site, saw how I used a modified form of riverbrowser.js to display the pictures
- Deleted river5 install on server
- Uploaded clean River5 install from Github to river5 folder on server
- Updated package.json to recent changes (allowing latest Node.js version)
- Updated config.json to current content (removing initial tab setup from Github, setting max number of items in a river, setting podast download flag to FALSE
- Updated lists folder
- Added exampleRiver4Callback.js from C:\NodeApps\Rivers to callbacks\addToRiver folder on server
- Did npm install, no issues
- Did forever stop river5.js (had to, since server would not allow me to run new app)
- Did node river5.js, watched startup in Putty, saw web view of lists
- Did forever run river5.js
- Checked my reading list app, saw new river file, all is well!
